d. Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment (1962) h h h h
ANS: A h
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 authorized the FDA to determine the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
safety of all drugs before marketing. Later amendments and acts helped tighten FDA control
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
and ensure drug safety. The Durham Humphrey Amendment defines the kinds of drugs that
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
cannot be used safely without medical supervision and restricts their sale to prescription by a
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
licensed practitioner. The Controlled Substances Act addresses only controlled substances
h h h h h h h h h h
andtheir categorization. The Kefauver Harris Drug Amendment ensures drug efficacy and
h h h h h h h h h h h h
greaterdrug safety. Drug manufacturers are required to prove to the FDA the effectiveness of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
their products before marketing them.

8. Which action would the FDA take to expedite drug development and approval for an
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
outbreakof smallpox?
h h h
a. List smallpox as a health orphan disease.
h h h h h h
b. Omit the preclinical research phase. h h h h
c. Extend the clinical research phase. h h h h
d. Fast track the investigational drug.
h h h h
ANS: D h
Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive
h h h h h h h h h h h h
highest priority within the agency, which is called fast tracking. A smallpox outbreak would
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
become a priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
manner. Preclinical research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
meana longer time to develop a vaccine. The FDA must ensure that all phases of the preclinical
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
andclinical research phase have been completed in a safe manner.
