Besides the IP issue, the deal has language that supports new #patents for “new uses of a known product.”

AbbVie does this w Humira &senators criticized them for it in Feb. Will that trade language be an issue if Congress wants to take on evergreening? bit.ly/2HZ2Z9o
I spoke to @JohnCornyn about this a few weeks ago...and he said he'd take a second look at the patent language. He also wasn't convinced USMCA had the support it needed to pass news.bloomberglaw.com/pharma-and-lif…
The Trade Office has always held that USMCA deal wouldn't increase drug prices *here in the U.S* (a rep told me that last month)...but if there's not political support for the deal it doesn't really matter what that office says ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As drug CEOs begin their testimony they're getting sworn in to tell the whole truth &nothing but the truth

CEOs had to do that at last year's drug pricing hearing too, but some statements were misleading

Here's a reminder of what happened last time: news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and…
Most of the CEOs testifying today and tomorrow are not from the same companies as last year. I bring up last year's hearing as a reminder to fact check what you hear during hearings like this where there's so much $ on the line
Also, you're going to hear a lot about spending on R&D to explain high drug prices

Last year @Genna_Douglas @JasmineHanYe and I looked at spending on R&D vs CEO pay. We found instances of CEO pay rising at a much faster rate than R&D spending: news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and…

Senate HELP hearing on #COVID__19 and flu vaccines starting now

Francis Collins from NIH and Surgeon General Jerome Adams testifying

Trump and CDC says a vaccine could be ready by Nov. Fauci says that's unlikely.
Today will be about fostering public trust in the FDA/potential vaccine

Public messaging blunders (like w convalescent plasma) has shook some confidence but scientists assure safeguards will prevent a rushed process

more details about vax hesitancy here: news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and…
Collins: The pause in AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine should be "reassuring" to people bc it shows that companies taking safety of a vaccine very seriously

"We won't compromise on safety. This is exhibit A."

Some thoughts on this well researched @washingtonpost piece on student health centers

Idk if it's just bc of the sample pop that responded to Qs from reporters, but a lot of the examples in this story are from women. Many instances where a symptom--physical pain-- is minimized
Women (especially women from minority groups) are more likely to have their pain minimized or misunderstood & be misdiagnosed bc of it. The Atlantic has some great stories on this

This part of WaPos story really stuck out to me: 'At the clinic, Shriber told a nurse and a doctor that she worried she had appendicitis.

After pressing down on Shriber’s abdomen, a doc claimed she would have been “screaming in agony” if she had appendicitis, Shriber recalled.'

Thread: What's frustrating about Gilead's announcement re: remdesivir's '62% reduction in the risk of mortality' is that it will create even more confusion for people about what we know about treating #COVID__19

bc Gilead itself says it needs to actually confirm that 62% (1)
As others point out, we had a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of remdesivir use in adults from May👇

-'Mortality was numerically lower in the remdesivir group than in the placebo group, but the difference was not significant' (2)

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
When should we release info about a #COVID__19 drug and when should we hold on to it to get conclusive results?

It's a hard thing to balance...people are so hungry for info, docs/scientists tell me

What do to? (3)

Senate hearing on FDA inspections of foreign drug plants starting now. Quality concerns have existed for years

Remember: FDA paused most foreign drug plant inspections in March due to #COVID19 March

In mid-May FDA said still postponing routine domestic and foreign inspections
From last week, per @annaedney: 'U.S. regulators are contacting pharmaceutical companies that make a popular diabetes medication after some of the pills were found to contain high levels of a chemical that can cause cancer.'
.@RonWyden says FDA commissioner @SteveFDA should be at the hearing. He's not here "bc the Trump administration blocked his testimony" to "prevent the committee from holding the point person for the FDA accountable"

THREAD: Here's what this means in English, why it matters, and how it's another example of FDA weighing heavily on the pharmacy community during #COVID2019 (1/7)
What FDA did was add the malaria drug Trump keeps touting as a potential covid19 treatment, hydroxychloroquine, to a special list of drugs.

Certain pharmacies can now make big batches of it & sell it to health care facilities w/out getting dinged by FDA (2/7)
Since Trump keeps pushing the malaria drug, it's been hoarded & places around the US have spot shortages

It doesn't ONLY treat malaria. It treats lupus, rheumatoid arthritis& other conditions. A lot of those people now can't get it bc everyone is buying it for #COVID2019 (3/7)
