## Issues

- Appropriate point in development for compassionate consideration?
-  		•	After PH II
-  	?	•	+++ Pre-Clinical & highly positive 			PH II interim
- Suggestion:
- 	Avoid hard rules for exceptions
- 	Allow case-by-case decisions

## Issues

- Drug Supply
- Clinical Material Phase   Commercial Manufacture
- Packaging/Shipping
- Shipping 1 Site = Shipping 200 Sites
- Drug Accountability/Retrieval
- EAP Specificity
- 	  e.g.  Drug is in PH III or EAP for “Anaplastic 		     	Astrocytoma” and “Glioblastoma-Multiforme”
- What about a request for an end-stage patient with Meduloblastoma? Ependymoma? Neuroblastoma?

## Schering-Plough Compassionate Use Experiencein Oncology 

- Flutamide	•	GM-CSF
- Intron A	•	Posaconazole
- Temozolomide

## Issues

- Data Collection Burden
- Simplified CRF
- Non-Serious, Expected AE Expectations

## Follow-Up Procedures

- Send out quarterly letters requesting follow-up
- File any alert reports (e.g. any life-threatening AE’s, deaths)
- Summarize AE’s - track down details/deaths in annual report & NDA
- Get unused drug back and destroy
- Resupply drug (indefinite?)

## BIO Supports the PDUFA IV Recommendations

- BIO represents more than 1,100 biotechnology companies, academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and related organizations across the United States.
- _BIO fully supports the PDUFA IV recommendations and urges swift enactment_

## PDUFA Has Been a Success 

- Support for science driven, empirically based reviews of drugs and biologics
- Reduced review times and earlier patient access to needed therapies
- Consistent, multi-year funding source for long-term planning and program enhancements

## BIO Principles for Changes to Drug Safety Evaluation and Monitoring 

- FDA Should Continue to Lead in Evaluating Safety and Efficacy
- Benefits and Risks Must be Considered Together
- Patients and Practitioners Benefit from Timely, Accurate, and Relevant Information
- Safety Systems Should Support and Reflect Innovation

## Enhanced Drug Safety Evaluation and Monitoring 

- Modernized Approaches to Post-Market Surveillance
- Expediting Drug Development
- Improved Procedures to Ensure Timely and Valuable Pre-Market Reviews
- Reducing Medical Errors
- Information Technology Enhancements

## Significantly Enhanced Funding Base for PDUFA

- Resources to Facilitate the Efficient Review of New Drug and Biologic Applications
- Provides needed funding to address:
- Inflationary pressures
- Unanticipated workload volume and intensity
- Facilities related costs

## PDUFA Cannot Succeed without Strong Appropriations

- Congress intended fees to be additive to FDA core appropriations
- Fees shoulder an increasing percentage of the cost of human drug review
- FDA requires increased appropriations to continue its mission
- Coalition for a Stronger FDA
- Multi-Year Commitment to Strengthen
- 	FDA Appropriations
- Industry groups, patient organizations,
- 	consumer	advocates, and individual companies
- 	_www.fdacoalition.org_

## Summary

- PDUFA III expires September 30th, 2007
- _PDUFA Should Be Reauthorized in a Timely Manner_
- FDA is required to plan for a reduction in force
- 	by mid-summer
- PDUFA IV will enable FDA to enhance & modernize drug safety systems

## Aerosol Light Scattering and Absorption at 532 nm at IMP in Mexico City, March 2006

- Photoacoustic measurements of aerosol light absorption, and scattering measurements within the same instrument using the reciprocal nephelometer method.
- Strong variation of aerosol single scattering albedo, from primary source driven before sunrise, to secondary aerosol driven by mid day.
- Up to 60% of the light scattering is due to photochemically generated secondary aerosol at mid day.
- Fine particle mass correlates very well with aerosol light scattering, likely due to the internally mixed character of the aerosol.

- By Guadalupe Paredes-Miranda and W. Patrick Arnott
- Department of Physics and Atmospheric Sciences
- University of Nevada Reno
- Reno Nevada USA

## Comparison of Aerosol Light Absorption in 2 Major Cities

## Aerosol Chemistry and Aerosol Light Scattering in Mexico City

*Aerosol Mass Spec. Chemistry from Jose Jimenez and Allison Aiken, CU Boulder.*

## Chemistry and Optics: Primary and Secondary Aerosol Contributions

**Example**:
- Fraction of light scattering in Mexico City due to photochemical production of aerosol.
- (from Arnott and Paredes, with AMS supporting chemistry from Jimenez and Aiken).

## Conclusion

-  The key finding is that secondary aerosol has a huge impact on Mexico City optics and chemistry.
-  Secondary aerosol is poorly understood, and complicates the role of finding out who is responsible for the air pollution so that it can be legislated and mitigated.
-  It demands clever thought.
-  Source profiling and the use of linear models for vectoring between primary sources and resulting air pollution are suspect.

## Bar Coding & Blood Products

**Kay Gregory MS, MT(ASCP)SBB**
**Director of Regulatory Affairs, AABB**

**          **

**        **

## Why are we here?

**Primary problem in transfusion medicine: Need to reduce human error. **
**Introduction of new technologies, such as ISBT 128 bar coding, can save patient lives. **

## FDA Should Consider

**Electronic Data Interchange**
**Definition and use of Standard Data Structures**

## ISBT 128 Advantages

**Internationally agreed upon placement of labeling information**
**Internationally unique numbering system **
**Internationally standardized product codes**
**Encoding of date and time of collection, production and expiration**

## ISBT 128 Advantages

**Encoding of special testing results **
**Encoding of the manufacturer, catalog number and lot numbers of blood**
**Mechanism for maintenance and growth of standard**

## Identification 

- Number

- Expiration Date & Time

- Product Number

- Expiration date and time

- Special Testing Results

- ABO/Rh Type

## * Mistransfusion of blood is  the most common cause of morbidity and mortality related to transfusion. 

## * Right patient must receive the right unit of blood! 

## Recommendations to FDA

**1. Require the blood banking community to adopt ISBT 128, or comparable system,  for labeling of blood & blood components.**
**a. Significant time and resources for implementation.**

## Recommendations to FDA

**2. Encourage the development of                patient and product ID systems for blood products that are compatible with drug and pharmacy systems. **

**FOOD: **
- The leaves were used as a potherb in soups or stews.  When eaten raw they have a pleasant acid flavor.
**MEDICINALLY:**
- The Cherokees brewed a tea from the leaves and drank it to treat diarrhea, dypepsy, asthma, tuberculosis, lung diseases and anxiety.  They chewed the bark to treat mouth ulcers.  The sap was collected and placed on itches.
- Catawba women made a tea to regulate menstruation during menopause.
- Colonists used it to treat fevers, kidney and bladder disorders.

## New York: Uses of GIS and Census Data

**Notes:**
I’m fortunate to be able to serve the Data Center program through the national Steering Committee and as the SDC representative to the Decennial Census Advisory Committee.

I want to take a few minutes to share some of what I’ve learned in that capacity and give you an overview of what happened with Census 2000 and the exciting landscape ahead for 2010.

Before the 2000 Census, we heard an awful lot about re-engineering the Census. 

Some good things were accomplished in that process but we now know that there is a lot more to do.

## US Weather Research Program & the Joint Hurricane Testbed

- Ward R. SeguinUSWRP Interagency Program OfficePresented to the IHCMarch 3, 2004

## USWRPEstablished in 1994 by four agencies to facilitate the coordination and collaboration among members supporting weather-related research and to allow USWRP members to leverage sponsored research and development.

## Slide 3

## JHT MissionTo advance the transfer of new research and technology into operational hurricane prediction.

## The JHT Infrastructure

**Supported by NOAA USWRP**
**IWG makes decisions in the context of the overall interagency USWRP priorities**
**IPO provides funding, coordination and grants support**
**SSC provides science guidance and proposal reviews**
**JHT Director and Administrator, with technical assistance, provide day-to-day operations coordination and support**

## Resource and overall JHT support issues

- Funding in research component of NOAA transferred to operations.  Perhaps not a good permanent resource solution (detracts from flexibility in research funding).
- Uncertainty concerning overall coordination, funding decisions and grants support (basically the IPO functions) as NOAA USWRP moves from OAR to NWS in FY2005.  Details and logistics of this move need to be determined.

## Achievements

- Initiated and funded two, two-year JHT project cycles and completed one
- Accepted a number of projects for operational implementation
- JHT is being used as a model for emerging and future testbeds

## USWRP & JHT Challenges

- Establishing a fair competitive grants program open to all
- Applying a process to select viable projects
- Developing and maintaining an infrastructure to test and evaluate testbed projects
- Assimilating new technologies into current operations
- Ensuring a pipeline of transition ready projects by supporting applied research

## Future Plans

- Continue to refine the process of announcing and awarding transition research grants
- Issue an Announcement of Opportunity in June/July 2004 for grants beginning in 2005
- Work to transition model research results to the Development Testbed Center

## VoIP Solutions Summit

**VoIP Solutions Summit**
***Focus on Disability Access Issues***

- Cary Barbin
- RERC on Telecommunications Access
- Gallaudet University

## Opportunities Presented by IP Enabled Services

**Video**
- Conversation and relay service  -- Already available
- Ideal:  See both interpreter and conversational partner, conference calls, online forums, etc.
- “Quality of service” concept for video comparable to voice needed for functional equivalency
- Broadband = Dialtone for visual communicators (including oral deaf and hard of hearing people who would like to lipread)
- Streaming video:  captioning and description?

## Opportunities Presented by IP Enabled Services

**Language and mode of choice**
- Visual, textual, and vocal (including wideband audio)
- Simultaneous or alternating at choice of user
- Multiple streams possible
- Information translation on demand

## Opportunities Presented by IP Enabled Services

**Mobile IP-enabled devices allow deaf people to communicate while mobile**
- Potential is good if we have IP “text everywhere” and open protocol across carriers, tie in to relay services and PSAP
**Emergency**
- In future:  Connecting with PSAP would connect Relay Center transparently
- Location technology
- 3-Way video calls among PSAP, interpreter, and caller

## Future Considerations

**Open platform concept**
- Permits development of niche applications as well as universal design
- Open standards as concept in telecom needs to be retained
- Even niche products must support open standards for interoperability
**Ease of use**
**Compatibility with old technology**
**Authenticating users to prevent fraud**

## The Government Smart Card Interoperability Specification

- Jim Dray
- james.dray@nist.gov
- CardTech/SecurTech, April 2002

## History

- GSA Smart Access Common ID Card contract May 2000
- Post-award Interoperability Committee
- GSC-IS v1.0 August 2000
- Government Smart Card Interagency Advisory Board, Standards TWG
- GSC-IS v2.0 NIST Special Pub Q3-02

## GSC-IS Objectives

- Generic card service provider model
- Common high level card service interface
- APDU independence
- Extensible
- Compatible with other models

## GSC Architectural Model

## GSC Service Provider Module

- *Card Reader Driver Layer

## Constraints

- The BSI is:
- Interoperable
- NOT operational
- APDU set differences preclude interoperability of some essential operational functions
- All GSC-IS implementations will require XSIs
- A card reader driver layer is not defined

## APDU Independence

- Possible approaches:
- Standardize on one APDU set (compatibility?)
- Software drivers for all APDU sets (maintenance?)
- Card Capabilities Container
- A “hybrid” approach

## Card Capabilities Container

- Carried on each card
- Defines how a card’s APDU set differs from the GSC-IS Virtual Card Edge Interface(VCEI)
- Formal grammar
- Size depends on number of differences
- Low overhead:  < 100 bytes

## Communications Sequence

- SPS reads a card’s CCC
- A CCC parser uses the CCC to map APDUs
- Card specific APDU set is mapped to the VCEI
- SPS also links BSI methods to the VCEI
- Card reader driver layer = raw APDU transport

## Data Models

- Original “J.8” model from GSC-IS v1.0
- DoD Common Access Card model
- Mandatory set of core elements:
- 3 containers
- 7 data elements

## GSC-IS Conformance

- Card level:
- Mandatory core data elements
- CCC
- Middleware:
- BSI
- VCEI

## The Future

- Implementation guidance
- Reference implementations
- Developer’s toolkits/workshops
- Collaborations
- Standardization
- Security and conformance testing
