The Impact of Off-Label Compassionate and Unlicensed Use on Health Care Laws in Preselected Countries

Summary

In times of situational therapeutic impasse, health care professionals (HCPs) are under pressure to conduct off-label, unlicensed and compassionate drug use – generally summarized under the term non-licensed drug use (NDU). Liability, contractual and penal risks pose a problem when treating a patient in a non-licensed way. There is a knowledge gap about institutional and governmental methods to resolve these problems. Different countries have developed strategies to manage NDU.  In her book, Vanessa Platé compares the effects of NDU on pharmaceutical legislation in selected industrial countries and determines strategies brought forth by NDU. Furthermore, the development of a general regulatory approach to the management of NDU is sought.  Semi-structured qualitative interviews, comparison of laws, and literature research are part of this study, which includes Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Japan, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the transnational E.U. The comparison of the impact of NDU focuses on terminology for NDU, supply and necessity of NDU, pharmaceutical promotion of NDU, legal responsibility for NDU, and public policies related to NDU.  The results of the study suggest there is indeed a circumstantial need for off-label, unlicensed and compassionate use, but also showed isolated evidence suggesting intermittent non-rational NDU. Furthermore, the legal comparison showed evidence of legal obligations for physicians to perform off-label, unlicensed and compassionate drug use. Vanessa Platé also found proof of inappropriate off-label marketing on the part of market authorization holders (MAH). On the other hand, a demand for information on NDU on behalf of HCPs was present. Obtained results illustrate cross-liability for HCPs and MAH. Finally, results demonstrated regulatory strategies of different efficiencies: In the E.U., for instance, incentives for new indications were (a) limited to one year or (b) restricted to (i) pediatrics or (ii) rare disorders.  The absence of statutory terminology causes incoherent interpretation of NDU across the researched nations; harmonization is crucial for an effective concept development. There is a situational need for early access to yet unapproved treatments. Denial of (non-licensed) treatment is considered unethical. Proposed solutions for an enduring management of NDU are firstly the amendments of templates for patient information leaflets by competent authorities to include well-recognised off-label use, secondly full development, research and duly authorized marketing of medicinal products used compassionately, and thirdly, modelled on German procedure, a modified standard market authorization for essential unlicensed drugs.

    How do you maximize your success and impact as a leader while maintaining your stamina and sanity? The answer doesn’t lie in simple “efficiency.” It’s not about making better use of your time and resources. It’s about understanding how energy works and how to tap into its power. 
Many people live lives of intense, and false, emotional compartmentalization. For example, they strive to be one person in the corner office (invincible warrior) and another person at the dinner table (sensitive spouse), and they struggle to keep those two lives from bleeding into and contradicting each other. But as it turns out, this takes a tremendous amount of energy and is almost always impossible. One person can’t be two different people. 
So how do you live an integrated life of fulfillment, purpose, and success? How do you create an alignment between head, heart, and the creative power that is in coherence with your true self? The answer is both simple and complex: You need to move from managing your time to mastering your energy. 
For more than a decade and a half, Ricardo Sunderland has worked with the leaders of some of the largest and most recognizable companies in the world. He has learned firsthand that for today’s leaders—at all levels in their organizations—mental and physical energy are no longer all you need for success. Today’s leaders must bring emotional and spiritual energy to their roles and create a space in which both they and their team members feel safe to challenge each other, grow together, and thrive. 
Given this major leadership challenge, leaders must gain the energy advantage. 
You will learn:What gives you energy.How to identify the energy blockers that are holding you back.That every situation presents a choice for you to unlock the transformational source of energy within you.The path to gaining the energy advantage on seven distinct levels.

Reverse Innovation will open your eyes to the fact that the dynamics of global innovation are changing—and if you want your firm to survive, you'd better pay attention.

If innovation is at the heart of your company or your career, no matter where you practice business, reverse innovation is a phenomenon you need to understand. This book will help you do that.
