US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
The Citizen petition of the NPA has requested a date that depends on the conclusion that the FDA reverses the decision of NMN, explains the interpretation of the clause, and concludes that the NMN can be investigated as a new drug. The FDA was partially petitioned and partially rejected. In particular, the FDA has revised the conclusion that the NMN transplant has not revealed the dates of the IND approval, not the ingredient. The FDA did not agree with the many arguments presented in the NPA Citizen’s petition, but ultimately, “The best reading of the competitive market clause was the parliamentary intention that Congress was intended to be the same time as the first approval of the article, such as the first approval of the article, according to Article 505 of the FD & C behavior. Investigate whether marketing transplantation is legal with supplements or food. ”
Therefore, the FDA concluded that NMN is not excluded from the definition of this supplement according to section 201 (FF) (3) (B) because the US was sold as a supplement before the NMN was approved.
Daniel Fabricant, the president and CEO of NPA, said, “The FDA’s decision confirms that NMN is legal and now requires that NMN products will be immediately restored to the market through the e -commerce platform.
CRN’s petitions urged the FDA to revise the interpretation of drug exclusion clause. As with the reaction to the NPA, the only concession of the FDA was that the marketing of this component did not need to be legal. Otherwise, the FDA restricts marketing evidence to the United States to reject foreign marketing of ingredients as evidence related to marketing races. The FDA did not clearly describe the formation of a “real” clinical investigation or provided guidelines or rules decisions to create reasonable exceptions.
The decision is the victory of the industry, but the impact is limited, so the CRN expressed disappointment in the FDA’s reaction. Megan Olsen, chief vice president and legal adviser of CRN, said, “The dependence on the closed IND date and a wide range of views on the ‘practical clinical investigation’ creates a moving goal that a company cannot plan.
CRN’s president and CEO, Steve Mister, said, “A total of FDA’s response is one thing. The FDA can avoid bullets in connection with NMN and avoid legal battle against that status. Without a transparent and open -known inducement factor and an executable map, companies will face unnecessary conflicts with drug development rather than consistent policies that develop public health. “
