Improving carcinogenicity assessment.

Published: February 2013

The ICH initiated talks in June 2012 to revise regulatory guidance for carcinogenicity assessment of pharmaceutical products, stimulated in part by a proposal called Negative for Endocrine, Genotoxicity, and Chronic Study Associated Histopathologic Risk Factors for Carcinogenicity in the Rat (NEGCARC) from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing Association (PhRMA). The 2012 STP Town Hall Meeting focused on the need for change in carcinogenicity assessment strategies for pharmaceuticals. Dr. Todd Bourcier from the Division of Endocrine and Metabolic Products, U.S. FDA and a member of the FDA's Alternative Carcinogenicity Assessment Committee, was the guest speaker and a panelist. Dr. Bourcier is also one of FDA's representatives to the ICH S1 Expert Working Group that is discussing changes to regulatory guidelines for carcinogenicity assessment. Drs. Carl Alden and Dan Morton also participated in the panel discussion.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious medical condition that places patients at high risk of developing gastric ulceration and gastrointestinal bleeding. One preventative strategy involves the use of omeprazole; however, its chronic use is associated with adverse effects, highlighting the need for alternative therapies. This study evaluated the protective effects of methyl eugenol (ME) on gastric mucosal damage in a rat model of SCI.

Beehives can accumulate environmental contaminants as bees gather pollen, propolis, and water from their surroundings, contaminating hive products like honey. Moreover, in multifloral environments, bees can interact with plants treated with different pesticides, often causing higher pesticides concentrations in multi-floral honey than in mono-floral varieties. Glyphosate and glufosinate are both widely used herbicides.
