we have this: to to and called project fda which is centered around fda reforms. that has probably been one of the most productive areas at the manhattan institute in the sense that i don't know of any other think tank doing the kind of work the manhattan institute is doing on this issue. the question we will talk about today is one of the most interesting areas in terms of how we think about how to reform the fda. people always complain that the fda is too slow in approving innovative, new treatments. comef the issues that has up recently is this area of precision medicine. there are these things called biomarkers. when you go get your cholesterol checked at the doctor's office, that is a biomarker. that's what we mean. a biomarker is a lab test. it is something we use to correlate something going on your body with a particular outcome of disease. in the case of cholesterol, there is decades of research that indicate the high cholesterol levels, particularly a low density level protein or are highlylevels correlated to heart disease and heart attacks and other pr

paul: the fda is actually necessary. emil: i think they need to help recruit more people that are connected to the academic world as they were when they had more people which would help them be more creative, connected to the science than they are now. the easiest thing to do to help them get better, i do think they need more funding. i think they need to figure out how to better organize and look for people that can keep connected to what is going on, drive the science down to the review level. i think they need fewer political initiatives on programs where they hire people , and need to get more money into their drug review and the quality of people involved and appropriate as for biomarkers and other things. i think there are ways to make it work and i definitely think it would not work well without them. peter: i don't think there is a single major drug company that would say yes. it would be a stockholm syndrome problem. [laughter] they are well aware that a lot depends on confidence and social ness. i will add that

the fda did not specifically address fuller's allegations. bard also declined an on-camera interview with nbc news but said any suggestion that the company submitted forged documents to the fda is flatly untrue and stated that all of its filters have been appropriately cleared by the fda based on required and accurate documentation. and now, gloria adams' son kevin says he wants others to avoid her fate. >> this is a great opportunity for me to tell my mom's story and get the word out for her. >> reporter: what would you say to him? >> i'm so sorry. i'm so sorry that that happened to your mother. it failed catastrophically. his mother should have never died because of this product failing. it shouldn't have happened. >> reporter: while bard stopped selling the recovery filter in 2005, more than 34,000 were sold and it was never officially recalled. bard's own records estimate that as of 2006, there was still more than 20,000 people walking around with them implanted in their bodies. experts believe the longer a filter remains implanted, the g

that is what we do at fda when we're confronted by such problems. i know that mike and his team have embedded this concept in their work to modernize the nation's food safety system through fsma so it can meet the challenges of a new global era. the enactment of fsma was inquestionably the product of foresight and the recognition of common interests. members of congress on both sides of the aisle came together with consumers and food industry leaders to enhance fsma's ability to protect the food supply in a modern diverse world of free flowing commerce. fsma stands for the proposition that the standard across the food system should be to have processes in place that we have learned work to prevent food problems that many food safety producers -- practices that many food safety producers are already implementing. this means having prevention oriented standards in place that are equally applied to domestic and foreign producers, reasonable verification of compliance with those standards, and accountability for those who are unable or unwilling to comp

>> so, fda reviews all electronic transmissions. we utilized things like foreign inspection, domestic inspection, whether it was sampled in another port, all that information is gathered within the predict application and then that shipment will be given a risk score, the higher the risk score the more chances one of these officers will sample that shipment. >> once the fda inspector picks samples for inspection they are sent to a fda lab like this one in irvine california. >> are you making a shrimp smoothie? >> i'm making a shrimp powder. >> its like a magic trick! >> yes. >> the shrimp powder is mixed with a chemical solvent, dried and liquefied again to run through an analyzer. kai wang is a fda chemist. >> so kai the results are in from the test, what are they showing us? >> in this case, the compound i am looking for is nitrofurons. >> and how dangerous is that for human beings? >> nitrofurons are dangerous for human beings because it's carcinogenic. the fda action level for nitrofuron is one parts per billion. one parts per b

it's combined, though, with much more overseas presence by fda. so more foreign inspections, more partnership with foreign governments. more investment in foreign food safety capacity where that will contribute to food safety here. all of that-will-we think this tool kit if implemented properly will work to produce that equal rig dltd rigor. >> so will mr. taylor, you men foreign inspections and fisma mandated in 2015, we'd have about 19,000 foreign inspections and i believe the department plans to only conduct 1200. so 19,000 mandated versus 1200. this lack of foreign inspections is adding to the concern that really different standards will be, if you will, practiced in foreign countries because there is not enough inspections to hold them accountable. your thoughts on that. >> you put your finger on a huge challenge. and that is how do we target our resources with the resources we get to do this -- implement this law effectively. so we have increased our foreign inspections from less than 300 before enactment to in the 1200 to 1400 range current

the fda action level for nitrofuron is one parts per billion. one parts per billion is the equivalent of looking for one gram of salt in an olympic sized swimming pool. >> wow! so how many parts is this per billion is this result? >> i would say it's about 1 to 2 parts per billion. >> so two grains of salt in an olympic sized swimming pool and you've managed to find it it that vial? >> yeah. >> that's incredible. so that batch of shrimp is not allowed in this country, essentially? >>it's not going to be allowed in this country. >> the fda simply isn't testing enough on the imported market to really find all of these violative residues. >> dr. urvashi rangan headed a study of imported shrimp for the june 2015 issue of the influential magazine "consumer reports." >> of the 205 imported farm samples that we found, 11 of those actually had illegal residues of antibiotics on them. that comes out to about 5% of the imported farmed shrimp samples being contaminated with an illegal antibiotic residue. the fact that the fda only tests about .7 percent of

what is the role of the fda and drug pricing?t: the fda has a big influence on the price of drugs because a lot of the pricing is tied to the risk of developing a n needs to go into pay for the development program as well as the continued manufacturing cost. we have seen in recent years the cost of drug development, quite a lot. that has the most impact on the generic drug market were manufacturing costs have been very cheap and ghana. we have seen some inflation in the drug market where one these to cost a couple of cents per 10 or $.15 to manufacture per pill. that is spread over the entire system. talking. scott gottlieb about drug prices. we would love to hear from you .bout your experiences you can call or tweet us. the story that motivated our conversation here on these rise on this price particular drug. they arehe story, protesting a giant overnight increase in the price of the 62-year-old drug that is the standard of care for life treating -- life-threatening parasitic infection. august by ared in startup hedge fund mana

>> since 2009, the fda took control of cigarettes, they're regulated by the fda. so every time a tobacco company needs to put out a new cigarette, they have to prove that they're just like the other cigarettes. they can be different. they can be enhanced flavor-wise. they can have more tobacco, criteria. there were four brands put out by reynolds which the fda is saying take them back. they don't meet the criteria. they're laced with menthol. they have a different distribution system for tobacco. the brands new camel, pall mall and others. the stores have 30 days to have them removed. they're illegal for sale. steve: in general it seems like cigarettes that are trying to make them seem more flavorful, less dangerous. >> look, cigarettes are addictive. nicotine is addictive. they're looking for new customers. new customers basically different colors, different sets, different sassy box. the problem everybody has is teenage smoking which continues to be a problem in young adults. so that's where the fda is stepping in and saying you can't be changing stuff and they'

it's not to say fda regulation is good or bad. the question is who will serve now in this particular context through this particular legislation. >> since there's no evidence that smoking tobacco can be used without producing this obama's burden of disease, it seems there's this evidence that saying it does produces obamas burden of disease and wire we --ing any other questions why aren't we asking any other questions other than what's the most strategic way to stop in tobacco? mr. brandt: what the strategic and pragmatic approach to making smoke-free --lly genuinely smoke-free. one of the things i found in the book is in many ways, the cigarette was grandfathered. it was a historic product based on a crop grown before europeans even got here. it became an incredible economic engine of the development of the early states. really dealing with a product with this historical weight. i don't think realistically a ban is in our immediate future but we should be looking aggressively at ways of reducing the burden of disease associated w

but equally important for your purpose, the people at fda embrace this wholeheartedly. the people who are at the front line in our agency are public health people, you know, enforcement is a tool, and that's been the culture of the agency given the statute we've had and the framework for food safety which has basically been an enforcement and statute oriented organization. on the front line people love that. they would much rather be getting good food safety outcomes and doing public health than try to rack up enforcement numbers. that's not the fundamental mentality of the cadre of people. it's an exciting time for them and the whole agency. i think the future is here in terms of the culture change that's going on and we're working in many ways to institutionalize that and embed that in the practices of the agency. >> wouldn't it be fair -- i recognized when i asked that question, it may sound as if you're trying to take care of business or farmers, but isn't the reality that we end up with a safer food supply system when this is the attitude? >> you know, what we know

evidence is probably going to be different and a little lower than that of an administrator at the fda only hard-core researcher. i'm guessing one of those two is right, the administrator at fda, his or her job is to protect the public so the job is going to be to ask for the highest possible level of evidence. if you're that kid trying to struggle through chemotherapy, or if you're a hairdresser naked cdc oil for your kid with intractable seizures, or a guy who is suffering through ptsd like somebody i met when it's researching "stoned," been through a dozen different medications, a couple suicide attempts, needed some form of relief, your level of evidence, the threshold for what constitutes enough evidence will be different. not trying to privilege one of those positions but when i hear people arguing about whether there's enough evidence, often was going on his people know exactly much evidence there is but they just have a different tug boat for what constitutes enough evidence. made me think about that going forward as we enter the debate phase of this evening and it used to pars
