Amy Abernethy speaking at FDA's Science Forum now. @FDACommissioner Sharpless won't be speaking as planned however
@FDACommissioner .@NIHDirector Collins taking a moment to remember 9/11
"That's a motivation for all of us that are in the service of the nation to work as hard as we possibly can to make the world a better place through the work that’s done through our various agencies."
@FDACommissioner @NIHDirector NIH director Francis Collins on pain management therapies beyond opioids: "Industry has had a lot of leads but it's kind of been a market failure." and notes that some of that is bc not clear if they'd get FDA approval
@FDACommissioner @NIHDirector So now FDA/NIH is speeding up testing of non-addictive pain management drugs and setting up clinical trials of patients with chronic pain to find better alternatives
@FDACommissioner @NIHDirector Kind of interesting...Collins says patients in the #AllofUs research program will get their data back at the end of the research study
Patients typically have a hard time getting info about themselves from health providers--whether its their own medical records or research data
