Financial Conflicts Of Interest In Science, Joanna K. Sax Jan 2012

Financial Conflicts Of Interest In Science, Joanna K. Sax

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

This Article proposes a new direction for addressing financial conflicts of interest, which plague biomedical research and threaten scientific integrity. This Article descriptively states the controversy surrounding financial conflicts of interest by explaining how these conflicts arise and the damage that can be created as a result. By describing the scientific process, the Article explains that changes to the academic environment may allow the public-private interaction to proceed, without creating the problems associated with financial conflicts of interest.

Financial conflicts of interest are created when the profit-seeking motive of a private funding source unduly influences an academic scientist's primary responsibilities. …


Putting Together The Pieces: Recent Proposals To Fill In The Genetic Testing Regulatory Puzzle, Serra J. Schlanger Jan 2012

Putting Together The Pieces: Recent Proposals To Fill In The Genetic Testing Regulatory Puzzle, Serra J. Schlanger

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

The idea that genetic information is different from other medical information and therefore needs special protection has led to a regulatory puzzle where genetic testing is currently regulated under three separate schemes. Although genetic tests for over 2,000 diseases are available, less than 10% of these tests have been reviewed for clinical validity or utility. Recent action by some genetic testing companies has prompted the federal government to propose changes to the current regulatory scheme. This article discusses the current framework and the recent developments before examining some of the concerns and challenges that face the implementation of these proposed …


Options For State And Local Governments To Regulate Non-Cigarette Tobacco Products, Michael Freiberg Jan 2012

Options For State And Local Governments To Regulate Non-Cigarette Tobacco Products, Michael Freiberg

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Most tobacco control laws were written to address the scourge of smoking - particularly smoking cigarettes. As a result, these laws frequently exclude non-cigarette tobacco products, which are becoming more prevalent on the market. These regulatory gaps jeopardize public health by increasing the possibility that these products will be used - particularly by minors and young adults. This article examines gaps in regulation using five products as case studies: dissolvable tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, little cigars, snus, and water pipes. In addition, this article presents policy options that state and local governments can adopt to regulate these products more effectively, …


Can The Fda Improve Oversight Of Foreign Clinical Trials: Closing The Information Gap And Moving Towards A Globalized Regulatory Scheme, Andre Ourso Jan 2012

Can The Fda Improve Oversight Of Foreign Clinical Trials: Closing The Information Gap And Moving Towards A Globalized Regulatory Scheme, Andre Ourso

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Currently, pharmaceutical companies' utilization of foreign clinical trial data is a ubiquitous and indispensable aspect of gaining approval to market drugs in the United States. Cost benefits, a larger pool of ready volunteer subjects, and greater efficiency in clinical testing are some of the reasons for conducting clinical trials overseas. Despite these advantages, lack of proper oversight may have serious public health implications regarding the integrity of clinical research, ethical treatment of human subjects, and drug safety. Due to the expansive global nature of foreign clinical trials, there are concerns with the FDA's ability to monitor and regulate these trials. …
