Off-Label Use of Medical Devices: Promotion and Compliance

November 18, 2009

CLE Credit

Drugs, biologics, and devices are increasingly used to treat patients in ways that were not approved or cleared by FDA. While FDA does not regulate the practice of medicine or off-label use, it does regulate off-label promotion. However, the FDA has released a "reprints" guidance that permit companies, in limited circumstances, to distribute certain types of materials that discuss off-label use of the products.

Saul Ewing LLP is a sponsor of this one-hour seminar that will address this tension between patient benefit and government enforcement.  The seminar will take place from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., with a continental breakfast beginning at 7:30 a.m. The seminar will take place in the Fuller Conference Room at the University City Science Center, 3711 Market Street  in Philadelphia, PA.

Mark C. Levy, Co-Chair of the Life Sciences Practice Group, along with Virginia Gibson, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, will present the seminar.
