THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 1

Abstract

During the review process the FDA will approve a new drug application (NDA), if a drug

is considered safe, effective and meets the minimum required standards for the suggested

indication in the desired population (Applications for FDA approval to market a new

drug, 2015). Regulations governing the FDA review process have been evolving over the

last two decades to allow for a faster review of potential lifesaving and clinical significant

products (FDA, 2014). The focus of expedited review is introducing potential lifesaving

agents to patients in conditions where the benefit to risk ratio is affected by the higher

risk that patients might be willing to accept in these conditions (FDA, 2014), however,

for patients and physicians to be able to make that decision the common risks of such

therapies should be for the most part well established through premarket studies. This

study aims to determine if faster new NDA reviews sacrifice product safety information.

From publicly available data on the FDA website database; Drugs@FDA, all new drug

applications for type 1 New Molecular Entities (NMEs-1) approved by the FDA from

January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2016 (Drugs@FDA, 2016) were identified and

then stratified to standard, priority, orphan, and accelerated reviews. Then the first three

safety labeling changes (SLC) were identified for each drug, and the type of each SLC

whether it was; boxed warning, contraindication, precaution, warning or an adverse

reaction. Furthermore, the size of the safety database and the FDA requirement of post-

marketing requirements and commitments at approval were also identified for each drug.

Afterwards, the time for each SLC time point was averaged and compared across the

standard, priority, accelerated and orphan reviews for significance using both t-tests and

z-tests. Moreover, the average size of the safety database was also compared across the

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 2

aforementioned groups and the prevalence of each type of each of the SLCs was

compared across standard and priority reviews. No significant differences were identified

in the time to first, second, and third SLC, except for a statistically significant difference

between standard and priority reviewed drugs at the third SLC time point. To clarify, the

time to the third SLC was significantly longer for the standard reviewed drugs at the time

of the third SLC compared to priority reviewed drugs. Furthermore, the prevalence of

Boxed Warnings at the time of the third SLC time point was significantly higher for

standard reviewed drugs. In conclusion, the speed of review does not affect the safety

information of approved drugs, and although this analysis might have limited clinical

application, it provides reasoning for decreasing the review time for standard drugs to 6

months provided that adequate funding is available for needed resources.

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 3

Introduction

The introduction of new medications to medical practice is governed by a variety

of regulatory agencies that differ from country to country. Thus, the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) regulates the manufacturing, developing, and selling of such

product, whether it is a biologic or a chemical entity. The FDA reviews new drug

applications submitted by pharmaceutical companies in order to determine if they have

sufficient data to support an effective and safe use for a specific indication in a specific

population (Applications for FDA approval to market a new drug, 2015).

Regulations governing the FDA review process have been evolving over the last

two decades to allow for a faster review than the usual standard review of potential

lifesaving products (FDA, 2014). The implementation of PDUFA in 1992, which was

followed by FDAMA in 1997 and SDASIA in 2012, led to regulations of expedited

review of certain applications. These regulations were reflected into four different review

pathways; Priority review, Breakthrough therapy, Accelerated approval, and Fast track

(FDA, 2014).

During the review process the FDA will approve an NDA, if a drug is considered

safe and effective and meets the minimum required standards for the suggested indication

in the desired population (Applications for FDA approval to market a new drug, 2015).

In order to get approval, the marketing applications should in most cases be based on

studies that are adequate and well controlled (Applications for FDA approval to market a

new drug, 2015).

The FDA gives a great importance to safety concerns from the studies presented

for approval during the review process. In fact, about 70% of the time that an agent

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 4

undergoes more than one review cycle is due to safety concerns (Ross, Dzara, &

Downing, 2015). However, the majority of these studies are designed to detect statistical

significance in efficacy parameters rather than safety, limiting the toxicity data available

(Ioannidis, 2009; Seruga, Sterling, Wang, & Tannock, 2011). Furthermore, even though

The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for

Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) advocates that clinical trials safety

databases should include at least 1500 patients (Food and Drug Administration, 1995), a

sample size within this range will not detect rare side effects and may possibly have

lower than the needed power to detect adverse effects that occur at prevalence as high as

1/100, a percentage that it is usually expected to achieve (Food and Drug Administration,

1995; Reed, Anstrom, Seils, Califf, & Schulman, 2008). Lasser et al. (2002)

approximated that 20% of drugs approved over a period of 25 years will be either

withdrawn or have a new black box warning, which is a warning that reflect a life

threatening risk associated with the use of that drug (FDA, 2012). Moreover, about half

the withdrawals occur during the first couple of years. Knowing that more than eighty

percent of the U.S population uses one or more prescription medication and about thirty

percent use at least five medications (Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University,

2006), an agent that gets approved without a well-established safety database has the

possibility of negatively impacting a large portion of the population. From a post

marketing perspective, during a two year period Adverse Drug Events (ADEs)

contributed to 700,000 emergency unit encounters, 120,000 hospital admissions and $3.5

billion of extra healthcare expenditure (Budnitz , et al., 2006). Furthermore, it is logical

that the concept of a favorable benefit to risk ratio would only be achieved if most of the

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 5

common adverse effects are identified in the premarket period. Sample size is a great

contributer to this knowledge, because as many as 15000 more ADEs could be averted

using a bigger sample (Reed et al., 2008). Examining a more antibiotic focused review,

Outterson, Powers, Seoane-Vazquez, Rodriguez-Monguio and Kesselheim (2013) looked

at the development of antibiotics over the last two decades and they argued that

advocating a faster review and approval of antibiotics based on limited data may result in

drugs that have a limited effect in the desired indication as these products will be

eventually withdrawn from the market for safety and other reasons. A proper review

process is integral in bringing safe and effective drugs to the market, and any disruption

in the review process would have a negative health and financial impact on the

population.

Medications for serious and life threatening conditions are usually approved

through accelerated approval regulations (FDA, 2014; Food and Drugs, 2015). Even

though drugs that might fall under the aforementioned regulation such as antineoplastic

agents have higher risk for death and serious ADEs than usual controls (Niraula, et al.,

2012), higher risk from these potentially beneficial therapies might be acceptable for

patient and health providers (FDA, 2014). The focus of expedited review is introducing

potential lifesaving agents to patients in conditions where the benefit to risk ratio is

affected by the higher risk that patients might be willing to accept (FDA, 2014). To

clarify, the expedited review includes priority, accelerated programs. Moreover, drugs

that classify as priority review would undergo a 6-month review period rather than the

standard 10-month review period, whereas classifying under accelerated review allows

for faster review by considering surrogate end point as a basis for approval (FDA, 2014).

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 6

Furthermore, in order to increase the development of drugs for rare diseases, the orphan

drug designation was developed which provide for 6 month of marketing exclusivity for

agents developed under this designation (FDA, 2017). Nonetheless, rare diseases

inherently have smaller study population sizes which could also have an effect on the

product safety information and predictability of certain adverse events and so does the

shorter review period granted by accelerated and priority review programs. However, for

patients and physicians to be able to make that decision the common risks of such

therapies should be well established through premarket studies. This study aims to

determine if faster NDA reviews and possibly smaller study sizes would jeopardize

product safety information and decrease the ability of premarket safety data to adequately

predict future adverse events.

Purpose of the study

Determining if faster NDA reviews sacrifice product safety information.

Justification and significance

Faster NDA reviews means faster availability of clinically significant medications

to patients. Nonetheless, faster review should not be at the cost of safety information

availability. Moreover, for physicians and patients to be able to choose the most

appropriate therapeutic agent, the common risks of such therapies should be well

established through premarket studies. And so this study aims to determine if faster NDA

reviews sacrifice product safety information.

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 7

Research question

Do faster NDA reviews sacrifice products safety information?

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 8

Methodology

First of all, to determine the effect of faster review process on the safety of

approved drugs, the time for drug’s safety labeling changes (SLCs) was used as an

outcome measure for comparison between the different arms in this study, the arms

included priority, accelerated reviews and drugs with an orphan designation. Logically

having well established safety information from the premarket period, means higher

predictability of the probability of certain adverse events in the product labeling which

should reflect on the timing of change to the safety information. To clarify, a change to

the safety labeling can happen due the appearance of certain adverse events in the post

marketing period that were not observed or observed to a lesser degree, or lesser

probability in the premarketing period. And so a drug with adequate safety information

from the premarketing period would have a well-established safety labeling in the

marketed product that would in natural circumstances take longer time to require changes

to labeling because of new safety information. On the other hand, drugs that are approved

without adequate safety information from the premarketing period would have safety

labeling that is not adequate and would result in faster changes to the safety labeling after

marketing as adverse events that should have been identified through development are

readily and constantly identified in the post market period.

Construction of the research database was done through three steps.:

First of all, from publicly available information on the FDA website database,

Drugs@FDA, all the new drug applications for new molecular entities (NMEs) approved

by the FDA from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2016 (FDA, 2016) were

identified by choosing the drug approval by month tab, and then exporting each month

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 9

into an Excel-spread sheet using the functionality provided by the FDA website.

Afterwards, the drugs approved from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2016 were

analyzed and drugs that were classified as NME-1 and a review classification as either

standard or priority were pulled into a collective Excel spread-sheet. In this spread-sheet

drugs were stratified based on their review designation into either priority or standard

review. Duplicate entries that had the same review designation and timelines were

removed from the database and are referenced in Appendix I. This resulted in 376 drugs;

164 of which were priority reviews and 212 were standard reviews.

In the second step, each drug in the database was searched using Drugs@FDA

search function which led to the NDA application information. Next, clicking on the

“Approval Date(s) and History, Letters, Labels, Reviews for NDA” tab presents two

sections the “Original Approvals or Tentative Approvals” section and the “Supplements”

section. Respectively, the first section was used to obtain information such as, review

classification and whether the NDA was granted an orphan designation or not.

Furthermore, a link to the original drug label is provided in this section, which was used

to obtain the indication and the size of the safety database for each drug through careful

examination of each label, except for the drugs in Appendix J for which the size of the

safety database was obtained through careful reading and examination of the medical

review section of the NDA review, the medical review of the aforementioned drugs was

obtained by choosing the review hyperlink in the supplement section of the FDA website.

As for the second section it was used to track the labeling changes by examining the

supplements that were classified as labeling supplements. These supplements were used

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 10

to track the safety labeling changes dates for every drug by going through the following

step for each drug.

All letters from the FDA in regard to supplement that were classified as labeling

were read to determine if the letter was approving a safety labeling change (SLC) in one

of the following label sections; Warnings, Precautions, Adverse Reactions,

Contraindications, or Boxed Warning. Moreover, using the date of each supplement we

looked for SLC on the FDA “Medical Product Safety Information” web page for NDAs

approved after 2008 (Drug Safety Labeling Changes (SLC), 2016), and by downloading

the Medwatch SLC archive for drugs approved between 1996 – 2007 (FDA, 2009). These

two databases referenced SLCs by month and year. For every drug in the database the

first three safety labeling changes that happened over the course of the NDA were

identified in order to determine the adequacy of safety information for all drugs in our

database. Doing so enabled judgment on whether different review speeds would sacrifice

and compromise the safety information in the premarket which could result in a faster

appearance of new adverse events that were not observed before and so would result in

shorter time from approval to safety labeling changes.

The last two pieces of information used in the database were “the post marketing

requirements and commitments”, orphan, and accelerated review status of each NDA.

The latter was obtained by examining drugs in the CDER’s novel new drugs report for

each year as of September 2011 and by the comprehensive CDER drug and biologic

accelerated approvals report for all drugs before 2011 (CDER, 2011; CDER, 2012;

CDER, 2012; CDER, 2013; FDA, 2015; CDER, 2016; CDER, 2017). As for the post

marketing requirements and commitments, each drug was searched through the FDA’s

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 11

post marketing requirements and commitments database (FDA, 2017) to see if the post

marketing requirements and commitments were required at approval or not. This

information could provide further input about the adequacy of safety information in the

premarket period, which is fundamental in judging whether other factors present a

confounding factor to the research question other than the review speed.

In the third step, the average time was calculated to the first, the second and the

third safety labeling change for every drug along with the average of number of patients

in the safety database for each comparison category. Then, statistical analysis of the data

was done through Excel’s built-in capabilities using t-test and z-test to establish

significance in differences between means. Both tests were utilized to compare the

average time to first, second, and third SLC for drugs reviewed under standard review,

priority review, orphan, and accelerated approval designated drugs. Comparisons

between standard, accelerated, and orphan drugs were done in aforementioned

comparison groups with common drugs between groups and without any similarities,

which was done by removing any drug that could be categorized simultaneously in two

groups. Furthermore, the type of each SLC change was compared between standard and

priority reviews using N-1 chi-squared test for proportions through the statistical

calculator provided by Medcalc website (Medcalc, 2017). Another point of comparison is

the size of the safety database, which was compared a cross all categories for significant

differences in mean using Excels’ built-in t-test and z-test for statistical significance.

Also, the therapeutic categories of drugs were compared in a table between priority and

standard review drugs to further identify any possible confounding factors.

Results

NDAs were analyzed for class one new molecular entity (NME-1) between Jan 1,

2000 and Dec 31, 2016. This process resulted in a total of 376 drugs; 212 standard

reviewed drugs and 164 priority reviewed drugs. The distribution of drugs between the

aforementioned categories among therapeutic groups was very diverse as listed in

Appendix A. Among the 376 approvals there were 47 accelerated approvals; 7 standard

reviews, 40 priority reviews, and 102 orphan drugs (of which there were 31 standard

reviews and 71 priority reviews), refer to Appendix G and Appendix H for the entire

database. Furthermore, 52.8% of the standard reviews had post marketing requirements

and commitments whereas the latter was required by 60.3% of the priority reviewed

drugs. Moreover, the number of applications without safety labeling changes was very

similar with 42 standard reviewed drugs and 41 priority reviewed drugs. Of these drugs;

10 were standard drugs and 9 were priority drugs that which were discontinued from the

market, as presented in Appendix F. Three main analyses were done: analysis of the time

to the first SLC, time to the second SLC, and time to third SLC (Table 1).

c) Orphan drugs (t Stat = 8.88, P = 6.08, t Critical two-tail = 1.96).

Note: 95% CI was used for all calculations.

There were no statistically significant differences in the time to first SLC between

standard reviewed drugs against priority, accelerated and orphan drugs. Moreover, there

were no significant differences in the time to the second SLC between standard against

priority, accelerated and orphan drugs. However, statistically significant difference in the

time to third SLC was identified between standard and priority reviews, standard

reviewed drugs were found to take about 10 months more than priority reviewed drugs to

require a third safety labeling change. Nonetheless, the difference was not statistically

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 14

significant between standard review, accelerated review and orphan drugs. Further

confirmatory analysis is presented in Appendix C. Although the differences in times to

first, second and third SLC were not statistically significant except for the difference

between standard and priority reviewed drugs in third SLC, the difference in the size of

the safety databases was statistically significant across the comparison groups; standard,

priority, accelerated, and orphan drugs (Table1), detailed analysis is presented in

Appendix D.

Further analysis was made to determine the type of SLC across priority and

standard review drugs to determine whether there was significant difference in the type of

SLCs between the two groups across the spectrum of the three SLCs timelines which is

listed in Appendix B. Five types of SLCs were tracked over the course of the three

timelines; Boxed Warning, Contraindications, Warnings, Precautions, and Adverse

Reactions. In the first and second SLC time point there were no significant differences in

the probability of any of the aforementioned SLC types between priority and standard

reviews (Table 8). There were no significant differences in the prevalence of the five

tracked types of SLCs across standard, priority, accelerated, and orphan designations.

Finally, the only statistically significant difference identified was in the

prevalence of Boxed Warnings between standard and priority reviewed drugs at the third

SLC time point, however, for the rest of the SLC types there were no significant

differences between priority and standard reviews (Table 8). The prevalence of Boxed

Warnings at the third SLC time point in standard reviewed drugs was about 3 times more

than that of priority reviewed drugs, however, there were no significant differences in the

prevalence of other SLC types.

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 17

Discussion

The focus of expedited review, which priority and accelerated review programs

fall under, is introducing potential lifesaving agents to patients in conditions where the

benefit to risk ratio is affected by the higher risk that patients might be willing to accept

(FDA, 2014). However, for patients and physicians to be able to make that decision, the

common risks of such therapies should be to the most part well established through

premarket studies. This study aimed to determine if the safety information of drugs

approved under priority, accelerated review and orphan designation is not as well

established as for drugs approved under standard review. Review of the first three safety

labeling changes for every drug across the two main categories (Priority and Standard)

and the two sub categories (Accelerated and Orphan Drugs) found that there are no

significant differences in the time to the first, second, and third SLCs, except for the time

to the third SLC between priority and standard reviewed drugs, for which the analysis is

presented in Appendix E. These finding show that the size of the safety database between

the comparison groups varies significantly (as shown in Appendix D), and the therapeutic

indications vary greatly among the approved drugs between the priority and the standard.

Nonetheless, there were no significant differences in the timing of the first, second, and

third SLCs among the comparison groups except, as mentioned earlier. Moreover, there

were no significant differences in the type of SLCs across the three time points, except

for the prevalence of Boxed Warnings in the third SLC time point. Furthermore, the

number of post marketing requirements and commitments for priority and standard

review drugs were fairly close. Having no statistically significant differences in the

timing and type of SLCs for most points of comparison shows that the review type and

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 18

designations did not correlate with the safety labeling changes of new drugs. It is

noteworthy to point out that, in the database 10 standard review drugs and 9 priority

review drugs were discontinued from marketing. However, even though, the

discontinuation status was not incorporated in this study analysis, Friedman et al. (1999)

studied a surge of drug removals and found that it was not affected by the speed of

review, diminishing this factor contribution to our end point. In conclusion, even though

the comparison groups were different in indications and safety population size, there

were no significant differences between aforementioned groups in the timing and type of

SLCs except for the time of the third SLC.

The fact that the safety of drugs is well established regardless of the review

pathway suggests that it is reasonable to decrease the review time for standard review

drugs to a 6-month review. Decreasing the time to action on standard review drugs can

increase the speed with which safe and effective medicine reaches the market.

Nonetheless, consideration should be made to the fact that most drugs regardless of

review priority undergo multiple review cycles before market approvals (Ross, Dzara, &

Downing, 2015). On the other hand, appropriate review of safety is not the only factor

that affect the time of review by FDA. Other factors that come to mind is the availability

of resources to complete standard reviews with 6-month reviews. Nonetheless, these kind

of resources which may include hiring extra reviewers which is amenable by increasing

the PDUFA user fee. The fee has dropped for drugs with clinical data from $2,374,200 in

2016 to $2,038,100 in 2017 (Mezher, 2016), presenting a possibility of increase to the

user fee act to hire more reviewers to make a goal of 6 months for the FDA to action on

standard reviews very feasible considering established safety won’t be affected by shorter

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 19

review period. However, care must be taken as to the fact that efficacy of drugs is also a

very important consideration as lack of efficacy inherently means a higher risk and less

acceptable safety profile. Finally, the fact that the faster review speeds don’t in most

cases sacrifice safety information of new drugs presents a logical argument to decrease

the review times of standard review drugs, keeping in mind adequate resources and

efficacy review.

This research involved NDAs for NME-1 that were approved between 1/1/2000

and 12/31/2016 that had either a priority or a standard designation which presents a

couple of limitations to the research database. First of all, by limiting our research to the

aforementioned criteria we have excluded biologics from our analysis, as biologics are

reviewed by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and not by the

Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). Furthermore, biologics do not fall

under the same designations of priority and standard on the FDA’s Drugs@FDA

database. Another possible limitation is the broad diversity of the indications for the

drugs presented in the database for which our results are general and not based on the

specific conditions that encompasses each indication, for example, the severity of disease

and the size of the disease population. This can be seen by examining the prescribing

behavior among physicians in different specialties. For example, Huskamp et al., (2013)

studied the prescribing attitudes for second generation antipsycotic drugs and found that

physicians started prescribing those drugs after 2 or more years on average from the time

of their first approval. This two-year timespan may limit the amount of safety data

generated during the first two years of marketing for second generation antipsychotics,

which could possibly decrease the effect of the esablished safety information in the

THE EFFECT OF SHORTER REVIEW TIMES ON DRUG SAFETY INFORMATION 20

premarketing period on the time of SLCs in that instance. However, Huskamp et al.

(2013) suggested that the delay in utilization of the second generation antipsychotics

could be a practice intentionally used by physicians to ensure patient safety. Now,

although Huskamp et al.’s (2013) data was based on a single drug family for a limited

indication, our data can offer support to such prescribing behavior as the time to the first

SLC was more than two years for all of our comparison groups. Nonetheless, endorsing

physicians prescribing behavior that limits the use of new drugs until after two years can

be counter productive as it may result in increasing the time to first SLC and decreasing

exposure to the drug. This may explain why orphan drugs have the longest time to first

SLC when compared to the rest of the comparision groups as the number of patient

exposed to the drug each year is lower due to inherently smaller population. This research

may be limited by generalizabiliy of the result among various indications that may differ

by several aspects, such as patient population and prescribing behavior among medical

practitionars in that speciality.

Conclusion

The speed of review does not affect the rate of safety labeling changes safety of

approved drugs. No significant differences were identified in the time to first, second, and

third SLC, except for a statistically significant difference between standard and priority

reviewed drugs at the third SLC time point. To elaborate, the prevalence of Boxed

Warnings at the time of the third SLC time point was significantly higher for standard

reviewed drugs. Furthermore, the time to the third SLC was significantly longer for the

standard reviewed drugs at the time of the third SLC compared to priority reviewed

drugs. In conclusion, study findings present an argument for decreasing the review time

for standard drugs to 6 months, as no correlation between the shorter review period and

the timing of safety labeling related changes was identified between a 6-month priority

and 10-month standard review. However, this is tentative, provided that adequate funding

is provided for needed resources to feasibly accommodate a faster review goal.
