❑ PROVA:
FDA seems to take light approach to Allergan and LAPBAND
Today's FDA can be steamrollered. Today's FDA just approved an application by Allergan to expand the target market of its Lap-Band weight-loss device potentially by tens of millions of patients. How much safety data did the FDA review before giving Allergan the green light? Mainly the results of one year of study of 149 patients. Kelsey has said that she demanded more information from Merrell, thalidomide's U.S. manufacturer, because its history of conflicts with the agency made her suspicious. Is there any reason to mistrust Allergan? Let's look at the record.
In September, Allergan pleaded guilty to one criminal count and paid $600 million in fines and penalties to settle federal charges that it had illegally marketed Botox for uses the FDA hadn't approved. In accepting the plea bargain, the government charged that the company had made under-the-table payments to doctors who used Botox to treat unapproved conditions, created front groups and websites to push the broader uses of the drug while concealing Allergan's backing, and coached physicians to over-diagnose a condition for which Botox could be legally marketed so it could sell more product. Allergan took these steps, the government contended, because the approved uses had meager sales potential. The most prevalent condition for which Botox treatment was approved, cervical dystonia, is a neck spasm that affects only about 27,000 people. Allergan wanted doctors to prescribe Botox for headaches. Botox's sales grew 1,407% and by 2007, total Botox sales exceeded $500 million. More than 70% of that was for unapproved uses.
This didn't seem to enter into the FDA's review of Allergan's application to expand its marketing of the Lap-Band, a device that's surgically implanted around the stomach. So far, the approved use has been for morbidly obese people. An FDA advisory panel, which gave preliminary approval to Allergan's application, wasn't entirely happy with the company's data supporting its safety and efficacy claims for the Lap-Band— its own 149-patient study and six other studies, at least three of which conducted by researchers with financial links to Allergan — but they felt that the Lap-Band's benefits outweighed the risks.

TÓPICO - IDEIA CONTEXTUAL ou INFORMAÇÃO DENTRO DO TEXTO :
De acordo com o texto, é correto afirmar que...
*Alternativa (A): 17 bebês americanos morreram em 1960, como resultado de um medicamento experimental feita pelo laboratório Richardson Merrell.(O texto não esclarece se as 17 mortes ocorreram em 1960. Infere-se no texto que as mesmas aconteceram após a proibição da comercialização da talidomida. O texto afirma que o medicamento foi permitido nos EUA para testes experimentais (experimental trials), mas não menciona que o referido medicamento era experimental)
*Alternativa (B): uma funcionária do FDA teve sua reputação arruinada por uma poderosa empresa farmacêutica nos anos 60.(Informação não encontrada no texto. Ao contrário, o texto afirma que a funcionária manteve-se firme.)
*Alternativa (C): O FDA deixou de ser confiável, já que agora está permitindo a comercialização da Allergan após alguns testes experimentais. (Allergan é uma empresa Farmacêutica, não é um medicamento.)
*Alternativa (D): A talidomida deveria ajudar as mulheres durante a gravidez, mas causou malformações em seus bebês.
*Alternativa (E): talidomida, Lap-Band e Botox são medicamentos perigosos que podem causar sérios problemas de saúde.(ERRO ➝ Lap-Band não é medicamento e sim um anel a ser colocado no estômago.)
➦ 1º parágrafo:
"[...] In 1960, a young inspector for the Food and Drug Administration faced down a powerful drug company by rejecting its application to sell a morning-sickness drug in the United States. The company, Richardson-Merrell, griped about her repeated demands for more safety data. They complained to her superiors, branding her as a nitpicker. But she stood firm. The drug in question was thalidomide, and worldwide as many as 12,000 children were born with severe birth defects after their mothers used it. In the U.S., where Frances Kelsey blocked Merrell from distributing the drug except to a few doctors for "experimental" trials, the toll was 17. Today's FDA isn't that FDA."
(Em 1960, uma jovem inspetora do Departamento de Saúde norte-americano(FDA) enfrentou uma empresa farmacêutica poderosa ao rejeitar o seu pedido para vender um remédio para enjôo matinal nos Estados Unidos. A empresa, Richardson-Merrell, reclamou sobre suas demandas repetidas por mais dados de segurança. Eles reclamaram com os superiores dela, estigmatizando-a como uma detalhista implicante(pentelha). Mas ela se manteve firme. O medicamento em questão era a talidomida, e em todo o mundo pelo menos 12 mil crianças nasceram com defeitos congênitos graves após suas mães a usarem. Nos EUA, onde Frances Kelsey bloqueou a Merrell de distribuir a droga, exceto para alguns médicos para testes "experimentais", o número era de 17. O FDA de hoje não é aquele FDA. )

- Some plea bargains require defendants to do more than simply plead guilty. For example, prosecutors often offer favorable plea bargains to defendants who agree to testify for the state in cases against other defendants. – Algumas colaborações premiadas exigem que o réu faça algo além do que apenas confessarem. Por exemplo, os promotores frequentemente oferecem colaborações premiadas a réus que aceitem depôr em favor da acusação em ações penais contra corréus. [www.law.cornell.edu]

TÓPICO - IDEIA CONTEXTUAL ou INFORMAÇÃO DENTRO DO TEXTO :
De acordo com o texto, é correto afirmar que
*Alternativa (A): o FDA aprovou entusiasticamente um procedimento cirúrgico depois de levar em consideração escassos dados.(IDEIA CONTEXTUAL ➝ O FDA não estava inteiramente feliz com o Lapband, mas o aprovou mesmo assim porque os benefícios superavam os riscos)
*Alternativa (B): o FDA não é mais como o seu homólogo da década de 60, que analisava a história de uma empresa antes de aprovar seus produtos.(IDEIA CONTEXTUAL ➝ O FDA atual é mais vulnerável às pressões de mega empresas (can be streamrolled). Entretanto, isso não quer dizer necessariamente que o FDA não analise a história de uma empresa antes de aprovar seus produtos.
*Alternativa (C): A Allergan subornou os médicos para prescreverem um medicamento para doença rara para tratar uma doença comum.(IDEIA CONTEXTUAL ➝ a Allergan fez pagamentos por debaixo dos panos(under-the-table payments) para que médicos receitassem Botox para tratar condições não aprovadas).
*Alternativa (D): A Allergan foi levada a tribunal e provada culpada por comercializar Botox através de médicos e da Internet.(IDEIA CONTEXTUAL ➝ A Allergan foi considerada culpada por ter comercializado Botox para usos não aprovados e não porque o comercializou via médicos e Internet)
*Alternativa (E): A decisão da FDA colocará em risco a saúde de milhões de americanos obesos que optaram pela cirurgia bariátrica.(informação não encontrada no texto).
➦ Último parágrafo:

(Isso não parece entrar na revisão do FDA do pedido da Allergan para expandir sua comercialização do Lap-Band, um dispositivo que é implantado cirurgicamente ao redor do estômago. Até agora, o uso foi aprovado para pessoas com obesidade mórbida. Um painel consultivo do FDA, que deu aprovação preliminar para o pedido da Allergan, NÃO ESTAVA INTEIRAMENTE FELIZ com dados da empresa que apoiavam suas reivindicações de segurança e eficácia para o Lap-Band – seu próprio estudo de 149 pacientes e seis outros estudos, pelo menos três dos quais conduzidos por pesquisadores com ligações financeiras com a Allergan - mas eles acharam que os benefícios do Lap-Band superavam os riscos)

"[...] An increased incidence of kidney stones and renal failure in infants has been reported in China, believed to be associated with the ingestion of infant formula contaminated with melamine. It has been discovered that melamine has been deliberately added to raw milk for a number of months in order to boost its apparent protein content. In 2007 there was a large outbreak of renal failure in cats and dogs in the USA associated with ingestion of pet food found to contain melamine and cyanuric acid. Melamine alone is of low toxicity; HOWEVER experimental studies have shown that combination with cyanuric acid leads to crystal formation and subsequent kidney toxicity"
(Um aumento da incidência de pedras nos rins e insuficiência renal aguda em crianças(infantis) relatado na China, acredita-se estar associado à ingestão de fórmula infantil contaminada com melamina. Foi descoberto que a melamina foi deliberadamente adicionada ao leite cru por um certo número de meses a fim de impulsionar o seu teor aparente de proteína. Em 2007 houve um grande surto de insuficiência renal em cães e gatos nos EUA, associado à ingestão de alimentos para animais que continha melamina e ácido cianúrico. Melamina sozinha é de baixa toxicidade; Entretanto, estudos experimentais demonstraram que a combinação com o ácido cianúrico conduz à formação de cristais e subsequente toxicidade renal.)
➧ TEXT 4: Read the paragraph below to answer question 10.
Research advances in the ageing field can sometimes give a boost to charlatans pitching their elixirs. A case in point is resveratrol, found in grape skins and red wine: it seemed both to extend lifespan in some animals and to have health benefits in mice. The news media immediately leapt on the story, as did the pharmaceutical industry. David Sinclair, a molecular biologist at Harvard Medical School, has appeared on US national television discussing resveratrol's effects. But he now finds that quotes and images from his many media appearances are being taken out of context and used to pitch commercial resveratrol supplements of dubious value. In the studies conducted thus far, the dose of resveratrol used has been much larger than any amount someone can obtain through diet alone and most resveratrol supplements contain a much smaller dose than those used in research.

(Avanços da pesquisa na área do envelhecimento podem às vezes dar um empurrãozinho aos charlatães lançando seus elixires. Um caso em questão é o resveratrol, encontrado na casca da uva e no vinho tinto: ambos pareciam prolongar a expectativa de vida em alguns animais e ter benefícios à saúde em camundongos. A mídia imediatamente pulou na história, assim como a indústria farmacêutica. David Sinclair, biólogo molecular da Harvard Medical School, apareceu na televisão nacional dos EUA para discutir os efeitos do resveratrol. Mas agora ele acha que as citações e imagens de suas muitas aparições na mídia estão sendo tomadas fora do contexto e usadas para lançar suplementos comerciais de resveratrol de valor duvidoso. Nos estudos realizados até agora, a dose de resveratrol utilizada foi muito maior do que qualquer quantidade que alguém pode obter apenas através da dieta e a maioria dos suplementos de resveratrol contêm uma dose muito menor do que a utilizada na investigação)
