FDA Breakthrough Programs Take Years off the Approval Process

ClinLab Staffing

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is being congratulated on a breakthrough in the conventional belabored FDA approval process. Ben Steele, contributor to Eye for Pharma reported that the pharmas Johnson & Johnson and Vertex Pharmaceuticals spoke out in support of the new approval process, which cuts years off the time it takes for breakthrough drugs to reach the market. A blood cancer therapy, Ibrutinib, developed by Johnson & Johnson and Vertex is two years ahead of the planned schedule thanks to new FDA policies. Phase II studies are showing that the drug is set to make a huge impact on the cancer therapy market. Jay Seigel, head of regulatory affairs for Johnson & Johnson and Dr. Jeffrey Leiden, CEO of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, both stated that the new FDA process was proactive and iterative. The FDA was focused and fully involved allowing a quicker and smoother approval process. The FDA reports that it has developed three distinct and successful approaches to bring certain drugs to market quickly – priority review, accelerated approval, and fast track. Fast track aims to expedite the process of drugs to treat serious illnesses where there are few alternatives. Priority review is a process for drugs that have demonstrated significant improvements over existing therapies. Accelerated approval uses a surrogate endpoint to approve drugs in a shorter amount of time. Janet Woodcock, Director of the FDA’s drugs division confirmed that the new program was targeting certain therapies for genetic mutations. However, the program did not guarantee approval of any drug. A total of 67 applications had been submitted to the FDA as of July 12, 2013,... read more

Three Must Have IT Reforms in Washington

General IT

Kenneth Corbin from IT News reported on recent events at meetings between leading IT industry representatives, White House officials and members of Congress. These meetings represent efforts to lobby for policy action. The policies that technology stakeholders hold dear relate to the availability of skilled labor and maintaining a competitive and innovative IT industry that can sustain a strong presence in the global market. Immigration. Many IT firms find difficulty in recruiting high-level talent and rely on skilled foreign workers admitted to the US on H-1B visas.  The industry would like to see immigration reform that raises current visa limits to increase the availability of much needed resources. According to Kenneth Corbin of IT News, approximately 120,000 applications for H-1B visas are submitted each year for which only 85,000 are available. Critics lament that this is a ploy for companies to exploit cheap labor. Some are concerned that foreign workers who are trained in the US are ultimately sent back to their country and join companies that compete with US firms. STEM education. The IT industry is lobbying for improved K-12 education in science, technology, engineering, and math. Only 2,500 high schools offer an AP computer science course. A spokesperson from Microsoft stated that inadequate education in the US, and failing to allow enough skilled workers from other countries, is causing jobs to move elsewhere. Intelligence Gathering. Intelligence gathering practices have been detrimental to IT companies and innovations such as cloud technology. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo are demanding transparency in government access to digital information. Other policies that the IT industry is emphasizing include faster broadband... read more

Keeping Your Employees Productive as Summer Approaches

HR & Management

It’s easy to be distracted by warm sunny days and the anticipation of summer vacation. Many individuals are also facing chaos at home with children home from school and the organization of summer camps and child care. How Can You Keep Employees Focused, Engaged, and Productive? Patrick Hull, contributor to Forbes highlights Zappos as an example of a company that emphasizes keeping employees happy as the key to maintaining their commitment. Supporting employees and providing flexible options can cement loyalty and encourage productivity. Offer flexible options, especially in the summer months, to allow for schedule management, child and aging parent care, and time off for summer vacations. Allow work from home options if the situation calls for it, and hire temporary employees to supplement for staff on leave. Institute casual Fridays or change the dress code in the summer so that staff can be more comfortable and less formal. Employees who can be productive while also managing their personal lives will be less stressed and more likely to be enthusiastic and engaged. A relaxed attitude can lift moods and even boost creativity. Use the summer to offer rewards and incentives such as tickets to sporting events and theme parks. Add some fun to the workplace and host charity events such as fun runs and connect with the local community. Have your staff take part in local events to boost your reputation as an employer. Plan social events that are outside and that involve employee families such as picnics or other outings. Institute occasional opportunities for training or community involvement. Such events are not wasted time but represent a valuable... read more
