Robert Califf Senate vote could clear path to top FDA job - STAT News

• Respected FDA GMP online training courses and programs provided by SkillsPlus Intl Inc.

Read the full article: Robert Califf Senate vote could clear path to top FDA job - STAT News:

"In a move designed to circumvent opposition to Califf, who was nominated in September, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has scheduled a procedural vote for Monday afternoon. If Califf wins the support of at least 60 senators in that vote, he would move on to a final confirmation vote — likely Tuesday — and his Senate opponents would lose their leverage to stop him."

An Update on the Nomination of FDA Commissioner Robert Califf - Policy and Medicine

Read the full report: An Update on the Nomination of FDA Commissioner Robert Califf - Policy and Medicine:

"An increasing number of senators are threatening to block Dr. Robert Califf's nomination to be the next Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The story illustrates an unusual coalition of right and left-leaning members of the Senate, and common refrains about "industry ties" in government and medicine. Ultimately, arcane Senate rules allow the entire process to be stalled by these individual members of the body."

FDA To Inspect Facilities Using Novel Sterilization Methods

The FDA has released this guidance document:

Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile - Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff

"We believe that novel sterilization technologies carry a substantial risk of inadequate sterility assurance if not conducted properly. Consequently, compliance with GMP for devices sterilized using these technologies should be closely evaluated. Failure to assure sterility presents a serious risk to human health because of the risk of infection. Therefore, we intend to inspect the manufacturing facility before clearing a 510(k) for a device that is sterilized by a novel sterilization process. Inspecting the manufacturing facility for devices sterilized using these sterilization technologies will help ensure the safety and effectiveness of these devices and mitigate the risks to human health."

F.D.A. Regulator, Widowed by Cancer, Helps Speed Drug Approval - The New York Times

Read the full article: F.D.A. Regulator, Widowed by Cancer, Helps Speed Drug Approval - The New York Times:

"In her struggle with cancer and ultimately her death in November, Ms. Pazdur had a part, her husband and a number of cancer specialists now say, in a profound change at the F.D.A.: a speeding up of the drug approval process. Ms. Pazdur’s three-year battle with cancer was a factor, they say, in Dr. Pazdur’s willingness to swiftly approve risky new treatments and a passion to fight the disease that patient advocates thought he lacked."
