the fda has to listen to that.uest:every year the food industry does go to congress and they generally request that they get a larger appropriation that they have. the food industry requests regulation. they reason they do that is for various reason. they understand they cannot sell their food if people think it is unsafe. i think this is an overstatement. i think the food industry does care and i think accidents will happen like bluebell. i have no idea the management knew if it was happening. but people care. the food industry has changed in the last 20 years. it used to be again that you could have a food safety problem and very few people would know about it. that's not true today in a hyper connected world. everybody knows about it. there are recalls and lawsuits. this kills food companies. nobody wants to be bluebell and be in a position where you have lawsuits, where you have to recall your food. it has changed completely. we now have contracts in the food industry where every food company that buys ingredie

the fda is taking important actions that we hope will achieve this balance. we welcome the opportunity to work with congress, our federal partners, the medical community advocacy organizations and the multitude of interested communities and families to turn the tide on this devastating epidemic. thank you for this opportunity to testify. i look forward to answering any questions that i can. >> thank you. >> chairman murphy, ranking member degette, i'd like to thank you for inviting me here to discuss this very important issue. i'd like to thank the committee for opioid prescription abuse. i'm the director of the national center prevention and control at the cdc. as a trained emergency room physician, i have seen firsthand the devastating impact of opioid addiction on individuals and their families as well as the importance of prevention. together, we have witnessed a deadly epidemic unfolding in states and communities across the country. the overdose epidemic is driven in large part by fundamental changes in the way that health care providers prescribe opioid

the fda say there is's no specific brand or identified toxin or poison. a point of origin for ingredients. china. which investigators tracked down through lot numbers on the treats packaging. >> i don't recommend they feed them the treats until the fda says what is causing the sickness. so there's the heart rate and rhythm there. >> reporter: dr. lopez is a vet in studio city and saying treats that say manufactured or made in the usa often contain ingredients of china and the fda contains treats still being sold daily can contain ingredients from china and you'd never know it. >> pet owners should be aware, however, that manufacturers do not need to list the country of origin for each ingredient used in their products. >> reporter: to date the fda blames treats for illnesses in more than 5,800 dogs 25 cats 3 people and a thousand canine deaths. >> we had grown very attached to him. >> reporter: the alvarez's two new fur babies are rescues, pup's lives they knew they were save, helping them cope with feelings of grief and misplaced grief. >> if i hadn't bo

and with the full support of our fda.and so two compounds listed here in the portfolio -- one is a compound that was developed by the japanese for influenza, but it's effective against a wide range of viruses so our team has been working on getting the data to show this works against influenza and also ebola. so we were able to work with the fda. and this went into, i believe, a total of 13 patients here in the u.s. now, at this point we can't say for sure did this product work in those patients because they were getting a whole smorgasbord of cocktail of treatments, which this is one of them. the second compound is something that's interesting because it's what's called a platform technology. and so what this means is you have a platform that's capable of spitting out a product on pretty short notice. so you could have a platform established, and if something pops up like ebola, in short order you're able to identify the threat sequence gene type and produce -- gee know type and produce a compound that will hopefully be

fda has done several things to improve educational materials on opioids. for example, we recently finalized required changes to the release long-acting opioids, changing their indication to inform prescribers that these drugs should only be used for pain, severe enough to require daily around the clock treatment when alternative treatments would not work. at the same time, fda strengthened significantly the safety warnings and we want the prescribers to use them with care and today it's among the most restrictive of any drugs that we have in the center. and have clear language that calls attention to the potentially life-threatening risks. the fda is working to approve the information available for prescribers in other ways. under certain circumstances, fda can require manufacturers as a part of the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy to address safety concerns such as opioid abuse. in 2012, fda required manufacturers to fund the development of unbiased continuing education programs on opioid prescribing practices for prescribers. in the first year sin

the fda warning oof a new drug that can lead to serious side effects. you mentioned the work side effects, i want to know what sort of side effects? and are thee the types of drugs you're going to get through a prescription only? >> we were so excited about these medications. thr called sglt inhibitors. they're the kind of medications that can help with diabetes, lower blood pressure and lose weight. can you imagine one pill that can do all of this? what the fda found out is that in the last year, about 20 patients ended up going to the emergency room because they what we call diabetic ketoacidosis. what does it mean? these are the kind of medications that inhibit reabsorption of sugar from the kidney. you get rid of the sugar, that's how you control the diabetes. but sugar is important and it's great for energy for every cell. if if you can't get the sugar, you have to burn the muscle and fat and end up having a lot of acid called ketoacidosis. it can give you fatigue and muscle sorness or coma. why do these medications make it to the market and not go

as an example of effectiveness of fda and while this is the hearing focus not only the fda captures program, i did want to acknowledge the leadership of senator shaheen and ayotte and others on this committee working in a bipartisan manner to eliminate a program that usda's own risk experts said will not improve public health. both domestic and imported has reduced illnesses to less than two per year. a safe product. it is because of the stringent requirements, a system required for both domestic and imported seafood. a system that requires problems to be fixed thousands of miles away from america not caught at the border. that congress exempted companies from some of the key provisions. nfi agrees with congress' determination. thank you. >> thank you very much. and now we'll hear from mr. frank randall. frank, welcome. >> thank you, chairman vitter. there we go, again. thank you. and for the members not here. ranking member shaheen, senator carden. thank you for inviting me to testify about the guest worker program. the program is a vital part of the survival, is -- this program is a vital

can you talk a little bit about fda's thinking in this area? >> well, first, let me thank you and senator hatch and your staffs for the opportunity to work together on the med tech act. we agree as we look at the space, we were looking at functions, device functions that we had been regulating for a long time. and now some of them are being put on mobile platforms. and when we found is we looked at it is that some of these lower risk functions we made better serve by no longer actively regulating them. and spur a little bit more innovation, but there is sufficiently low risk, we don't need to provide that additional fda oversight. instead, focus on higher risk medical device functions in this space. that is a nice balance on that facility innovation, but still assure a good patient safety. >> thank you. i don't know dr. collins, if you have anything you would want to add? >> only that i think your point about mobile health technologies is extremely well taken. the proliferation of really exciting opportunities is happening all around us and we

the drug maker prout is asking the fda to reconsider.o know why there are so many drugs for men not women. >> it's not fair there was a double standard but i don't think it's completely unreasonable that we have a high bar for safety when we're looking at drugs for low libido. for men or women. >> drugs like viagra for men have side effects but better success rates. they work on blood flow. for women sexual dysfunction is more mental. this works by alters chemicals in the brain. >> it was like a light switch in my head that had been turned off. and once it got turned on things were fine. >> reporter: now amanda says she will be first in line if the drug gets approved many other women have also expressed interest and fda advisory committee will meet in two weeks to announce its recommendation but that is not binding jessica a final decision from the fda is expected in august. >>> and would this be prescription only? >> prescription only exactly. >> all right. stephanie, thanks so much. >> chris? >> we've got important traffic note for you

there is low risk, so we do not have to provide fda oversight. instead, focus on higher risk functions in this space. that is a nice balance on that, we facilitate innovation and ensure patient safety. senator bennett: i don't know if you have anything you want to add, dr. collins. dr. collins: the proliferation of exciting opportunities is happening all around us and we see the precision medicine initiative as an opportunity to test those out, because you don't only want to have an application that is cool and gives you an firm -- information, but you want to know that it improves health and changes outcomes. if we have a million individuals excited about participating and volunteering to become users of these kinds of technologies come a whether it is the next version of a watch that measures aspects of your body physiology and or something that protects you this would be a great opportunity to find out what works and what improves health care and what should be extrapolated and utilize across medical care for the whole country. senator bennett

in this case we didn't have the fda approved products. however, they have mechanisms that allow not across the finish line products like the emergency use authorization and like expanded use protocols sojourning this outbreak we took full advantage of those used in the diagnostic products. they've taken some of these experimental compounds and treated individual patients here in the u.s. to read and those that involve informed consent so there was a spectrum of tools but we have to adhere to those requirements established to ensure patient safety first and foremost and now i will turn it over to the position of the group. >> in terms of the trials, we were able to move faster than usual but it wasn't because we escaped any regulatory steps. we just focused a lot of research and we were able to do things in parallel which is how that normally works. my organization is not involved in vaccine trials that are ongoing in west africa now. what i can see from the experience we've had in the field trials and other parts of the world, informed co

about the tests the fda is going to be assessing. one thing concerns me that some tests may get quite expensive and i want to make sure that i understand how they and the highly personalized care will contribute to everyone and won't contribute to health disparities in the country. will these tests be considered diagnostic tests or preventative tests and who is going to be paying for them? >> in the case of next generation sequencing they can be used for diagnosis and for predicting and prevention purposes, to show that can perform in such a way. in terms of reducing costs, there's an opportunity for reducing costs for those technologies to be developed because we have standards i talked about and we have the data basis of information, it will be a lot less expensive. in the past you do a clinical study to show does your test actually predict or diagnose that disease with the data base, you might be able to point to the data. the clinical community is crowd sourcing the evidence. we just did that recently with two years ago with a te

i have a question about how the tests at fda -- the tests that the fda is going to be assessing. one thing that concerns me is some tests may get quite expensive and i want to make sure that i understand how they and the highly personalized care that precision medicine can provide will benefit everyone. and won't contribute to health disparities in our country. so my questions are, will these tests be considered diagnostic tests or preventive tests and who is going to be paying for them. >> well, in the case of next generation sequencing, they can be used potentially for diagnosis and for predicting. and therefore prevention purposes. it all depends on do you have the data to show that that particular test can perform in such a way. in terms of reducing costs there's the funt for reducing costs for those technologies to be developed. if we have the standards i talked about and we have those databases of information it will be a lot less expensive to have the science. so in the past you do a clinical study to show does your test actually predict or diagnose that disease. but now w
