Opioid Crisis Complicates GOP=E2=80=99s Health Law Push
Wall Street Journal (06/12/17) Nunn, Sharon

The nation=E2=80=99s worsening opioid crisis has made key Republican senato=
rs hesitate to support legislation dismantling major portions of the Afford=
able Care Act (ACA). Several provisions of the ACA allowed millions of Amer=
icans seeking substance-abuse treatment to gain coverage, including through=
an expansion of the Medicaid health program. But the House bill repealing =
the ACA, passed in early May, would roll back that Medicaid expansion begin=
ning in 2020 and allow insurance companies to charge some people with drug =
addictions higher premiums or deny them substance-abuse coverage. Concerns =
about those provisions cut into Republican support for the replacement meas=
ure in the House. Of the 20 Republicans who voted against the House bill, 1=
6 represent states that saw significant increases in drug-overdose death ra=
tes in recent years. Now, the same concerns are emerging as a factor as the=
Senate takes up the House bill and ponders how to change it. Some Republic=
an senators are pushing to wind down the Medicaid expansion funding more sl=
owly. They would have the rollback occur over a 7-year window beginning in =
2020. Lawmakers are also looking at including a pot of money specifically f=
or opioid treatment, according to Republican senate aides.

Seizing on opioid crisis, a drug maker lobbies hard for its product
New York Times (06/12/17) Goodnough, Abby; Zernike, Kate

Drug manufacturer Alkermes has spent years targeting lawmakers and law enfo=
rcement strategies, lobbying them about the benefits of its naltrexone (Viv=
itrol) drug as a treatment for opioid addiction. Now, its sales and profile=
are rising fast, thanks to its manufacturers=E2=80=99 shrewd use of politi=
cal connections, and despite scant science to prove the drug=E2=80=99s effi=
cacy. Last month, HHS Secretary Tom Price, praised it as the future of opio=
id addiction treatment after visiting the company=E2=80=99s plant in Ohio. =
He set off a furor among substance abuse specialists by criticizing its les=
s expensive and more widely used and rigorously studied competitors, bupren=
orphine and methadone, as medications that "simply substitute" for illicit =
drugs. With the Trump administration sending $1 billion in new addiction pr=
evention and treatment funds to states over the next 2 years through the 21=
st Century Cures Act, Alkermes's marketing has shifted into even higher gea=
r. Nearly 700 experts in the field recently wrote a letter to Price asserti=
ng that some the company's marketing tactics ignore widely accepted science=
. Alkermes executives say they welcome any addiction treatment. They have p=
resented their drug as a cleaner alternative to buprenorphine.

WHO targets antimicrobial resistance in new essential medicines list
British Medical Journal (06/09/17) Gulland, Anne

The World Health Organization says the antibiotics colistin and some cephal=
osporins should only be used when all other treatments have failed, in an e=
ffort to combat anti-microbial resistance. In the latest edition of its ess=
ential medicines list, updated every 2 years, WHO has grouped antibiotics i=
nto three groups=E2=80=94access, watch, and reserve=E2=80=94indicating whic=
h can be used for common infections and which should only be used in rare c=
ircumstances. WHO recommends that antibiotics in the access group, which in=
cludes amoxicillin, be available at all times to treat common conditions. T=
he watch group includes antibiotics that are recommended as first or second=
choice treatments for a small number of infections. In this group are cipr=
ofloxacin to treat cystitis and upper respiratory tract infections which, W=
HO says, should be dramatically reduced to avoid further development of res=
istance. The third group, reserve, includes antibiotics that should be cons=
idered last resort options and used only when all other drugs have failed, =
such as for life threatening infections from multidrug resistant bacteria.

Mismatch-repair deficiency predicts response of solid tumors to PD-1 blocka=
de
Science (06/08/17) Le, Dung T.; Durham, Jennifer N.; Smith, Kellie N.; et a=
l.

In a new study, researchers report the expansion of a proof-of-concept stud=
y that found that colorectal cancers with mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency =
were sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade with anti-PD-1 antibodies. The=
new study evaluated the efficacy of PD-1 blockade in patients with advance=
d MMR-deficient cancers for 12 different tumor types. The data show that ob=
jective radiographic responses were seen in more than one-half (53%) of the=
patients, while 21% achieved complete responses. The responses, they note,=
were durable with median progression-free and overall survival still not r=
eached. Functional analysis in a responding patient revealed rapid in vivo =
expansion of neoantigen-specific T cell clones that were reactive to mutant=
neopeptides found in the tumor. According to the researchers, the findings=
"support the hypothesis that the large proportion of mutant neoantigens in=
MMR-deficient cancers make them sensitive to immune checkpoint blockade, r=
egardless of the cancers' tissue of origin."

Chi-Med steps closer to Chinese pharma first with drug filing
Reuters (06/12/17)

Hutchison China MediTech, the Shanghai-based drugmaker listed in London, re=
ported on Monday that China's Food and Drug Administration will now review =
its cancer medicine fruquintinib as a treatment for advanced colorectal can=
cer. The move triggers a milestone payment of $4.5 million from U.S. partne=
r Eli Lilly to the Chinese firm, which is commonly known as Chi-Med.
Chi-Med and Lilly also aim to win approval for fruquintinib in the United S=
tates, which would make it the first modern drug developed in China to be s=
old on the international market. Hopes for the drug, which starves tumors o=
f blood supply, received a major boost in March when a late-stage clinical =
trial produced strongly positive results in colon cancer. The drug is also =
being developed for non-small cell lung cancer and another study in gastric=
cancer is due to start soon.

Opioid dealers embrace the dark web to send deadly drugs
New York Times (06/11/17) Popper, Nathaniel

In a growing number of arrests and opioid overdoses, law enforcement offici=
als say, the drugs are being bought online. Internet sales have allowed pow=
erful synthetic opioids such as fentanyl to reach people through small pack=
ages in the mail. The authorities have been frustrated in their efforts to =
crack down on the trade because these sites generally exist on the so-calle=
d dark web, where buyers can visit anonymously using special browsers and m=
ake purchases with virtual currencies like Bitcoin. Largely because of thei=
r potency, synthetic opioids have become the fastest-growing cause of the o=
verdose epidemic. Just a few flakes of fentanyl can be fatal. Their deadly =

Dietary supplement industry outlines new pedigree protocol
Drug Store News (06/01/17) Johnsen, Michael

The SIDI Work Group=E2=80=94a coalition of the Consumer Healthcare Products=
Association, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), and the United N=
atural Products Alliance=E2=80=94issued an updated draft of the "Standardiz=
ed Information on Dietary Ingredients Protocol." According to Duffy Mackay,=
chair of the SIDI Work Group executive committee and senior vice president=
, scientific and regulatory affairs, CRN, "The SIDI Work Group convened reg=
ularly over several months developing an updated draft that addresses new f=
ood safety regulations implemented since version 2.1 was released in 2008. =
We welcome comments from industry stakeholders and regulatory officials for=
consideration as we finalize this next edition of the Protocol, slated for=
release by the end of 2017." The Protocol presents an outline representing=
the type and scope of information about a dietary ingredient that an ingre=
dient supplier typically needs to provide to a manufacturer. The primary ob=
jective of the Protocol is to recommend a standard format for presenting th=
is information, so that information exchange can be done in a simplified an=
d streamlined manner. The SIDI Work Group is seeking feedback from industry=
stakeholders and regulators by July 3. The draft Protocol and comment form=
are available here

Robotic pharmacy to open at Kirkland Cancer Center
Jackson Sun (Tennessee) (05/20/17) Faris, Maranda

The Kirkland Cancer Center in Jackson, TN, recently opened its new robotic =
pharmacy. The pharmacy will allow medications to be mixed more accurately i=
n a liquid form and decrease the amount of waste from other forms of medica=
tion. The new pharmacy also allows more patients to visit the Jackson and t=
he Kirkland Cancer Center, rather than having to go out of state for treatm=
ents. "You don't have to go somewhere else. You may choose to, but there ar=
e many things that you can do right here at home, and this is one of the la=
test advances," West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation President Frank McMeen=
said. "You don't have to go to Houston, or Wisconsin or Ohio. It puts us i=
n a whole other league of cancer facilities." McMeen said the pharmacy is b=
eing named after Eugene Reese, MD, and his wife, Elaine. "The pharmacy has =
become more and more involved in compounding the medicines, mixing them and=
getting them ready for patients to be treated," Reese said. "The pharmacy =
has become a much more important role in the treatment of oncology patients=
than it was 40 years ago."

Laws, Regs & Rulings

States lead the fight against Trump's contraception rollback
New York Times (06/10/17) Stolberg, Sheryl Gay

With the Trump administration planning to roll back the Affordable Care Act=
(ACA) mandate that employers cover contraceptives, the battle over the iss=
ue is shifting to the states. Currently, 28 states have some type of "contr=
aceptive equity" law, aimed at making it cheaper and more accessible. Gov. =
Brian Sandoval of Nevada on June 10 signed a measure requiring insurers to =
cover 12 months of contraception at a time, with no copayment. Several stat=
es are expanding access by requiring insurers to cover a year=E2=80=99s sup=
ply of contraceptives at a time, as opposed to the customary 3 months. In W=
ashington, Gov. Jay Inslee last month signed a bill that would do just that=
, and Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado signed a similar bill last week. L=
awmakers in Massachusetts and New York are also considering "contraceptive =
equity bills." The Trump administration has drafted a far-reaching rule tha=
t would greatly expand the number of employers and insurers that could qual=
ify for exemptions from the ACA's contraceptive mandate by claiming a moral=
or a religious objection. Hundreds of thousands of women, many of them poo=
r, could lose access to no-cost birth control if the rule goes into effect.

NJ governor approves law expanding pharmacy access to opioid antidote
NJ Spotlight (06/12/17) Stainton, Lilo

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey signed a law Friday that would allow phar=
macies of all sizes to sell naloxone, which is easy to administer as a shot=
or nasal spray that can quickly reverse a potentially deadly reaction to h=
eroin or prescription drugs. "Expanding access to nalaxone will help save l=
ives and allow those who are suffering from addiction a second chance to ge=
t the treatment they need to win their battle" with the disease, said Sen. =
Joe Vitale (D-Middlesex), who first introduced a proposal to expand drug st=
ore sales in November 2015. Vitale noted access to the antidote was limited=
in the past, especially for civilians who were not first responders. "But =
the antidote can be administered safely and swiftly by others, including fa=
mily members, and providing access to it at the pharmacy can mean the diffe=
rence between life and death," he said. A growing number of community pharm=
acies, including CVS and Walgreens, announced plans last year to expand sal=
es of the medicine to patients without specific orders from a doctor to hun=
dreds of stores in New Jersey.
The new law makes clear that smaller, independent pharmacies can do the sam=
e, and directs a doctor in the ranks of the state Department of Health to s=
tep in and provide the required standing order if the pharmacy does not hav=
e a physician to do so.

Lower drug costs still 'absolute priority' for Trump, Price says
Bloomberg (06/08/17) Edney, Anna

HHS Secretary Tom Price, MD, on June 8 told the Senate Finance Committee th=
at President Trump has asked his agency for recommendations on policies tha=
t would reduce the costs of medications. Price said he instructed CMS, FDA,=
and the Health Resources and Services Administration to come up with propo=
sals. He has also been meeting with pharmacists, care providers, and PBMs i=
n recent weeks to discuss ideas for making drugs more affordable. At the Se=
nate hearing, Price declined to answer a separate question about whether th=
e administration will fund cost-sharing reduction payments made to insurers=
to help reduce low-income Americans' health expenses.

Opioid Crisis Complicates GOP’s Health Law Push
Wa=
ll Street Journal (06/12/17) Nunn, Sharon


The nation&rsquo=
;s worsening opioid crisis has made key Republican senators hesitate to sup=
port legislation dismantling major portions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA=
). Several provisions of the ACA allowed millions of Americans seeking subs=
tance-abuse treatment to gain coverage, including through an expansion of t=
he Medicaid health program. But the House bill repealing the ACA, passed in=
early May, would roll back that Medicaid expansion beginning in 2020 and a=
llow insurance companies to charge some people with drug addictions higher =
premiums or deny them substance-abuse coverage. Concerns about those provis=
ions cut into Republican support for the replacement measure in the House. =
Of the 20 Republicans who voted against the House bill, 16 represent states=
that saw significant increases in drug-overdose death rates in recent year=
s. Now, the same concerns are emerging as a factor as the Senate takes up t=
he House bill and ponders how to change it. Some Republican senators are pu=
shing to wind down the Medicaid expansion funding more slowly. They would h=
ave the rollback occur over a 7-year window beginning in 2020. Lawmakers ar=
e also looking at including a pot of money specifically for opioid treatmen=
t, according to Republican senate aides.

Drug manufacturer Alkermes has spent years targeting lawmakers a=
