all drugs before marketing. Later amendments and acts helped tighten FDA control and ensure
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7
drug safety. The Durham Humphrey Amendment defines the kinds of drugs that cannot be used
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7

psychological and physical dependence. Schedule Idrugs havehigh potentialforabuse and no
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7
recognized medical use. Schedule III drugs have some potential for abuse. Use may lead to low to
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7
moderate physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Schedule IV drugs have low

ANS: D v 7
Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive highest
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7
priority within the agency, which is called fast tracking. A smallpox outbreak would become a
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7
priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority manner. Preclinical
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7
research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would mean alongertimeto develop a
v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7 v7
vaccine.The FDAmust ensurethatall phasesof thepreclinical and clinical research phase have been

completed in a safe manner.
