Must-Read: FDA approves long-acting hydrocodone despite warning from its own advisory panel (Weekly Web Review in Toxicology)
This study design allows researchers to enroll only subjects who have already been shown to tolerate and respond to the drug. Critics of this method argue that it stacks the deck in favor of good results, and in no way simulates real-world conditions or predicts after-market experience.
Last December, an FDA panel voted against approving the drug. One panel member, medical toxicologist Jeanmarie Perrone, said she was “surprised” when the drug was approved.
In a related story, the Journal Sentinal previously reported that the enhanced enrollment design was worked out at annual private meetings between drug comp...

FDA approves extended-release, single-entity hydrocodone product
Zohydro ER, a Schedule II controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act, is the first FDA-approved single-entity (not combined with an analgesic such as acetaminophen) and extended-release hydrocodone product. Zohydro ER will offer prescribers an additional therapeutic option to treat pain, which is important because individual patients may respond differently to different opioids.
