  6. What is included in an OTC Drug Monograph? Conditions of Use • Active ingredients • dosage strength • dosage form • Labeling requirements • uses • directions for use • warnings • Final formulation testing

  12. History of OTC Topical Antifungal Monograph

  13. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking • Published March 1982 • Concerned about curing the condition • “An OTC product must provide more than temporary symptomatic relief of athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm” • Required at least one well-designed clinical study • Recommended an ingredient as GRASE if it was significantly more effective than vehicle

  14. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (cont.) Criteria for well-designed study are: (1) double-blinded and randomized (2) vehicle-controlled (3) test groups of adequate size (4) sign and symptoms verified by positive KOH and culture (5) standardized dosing regimen (i.e., four week treatment for athlete’s foot) (6) follow-up examinations at the end of treatment and two weeks after treatment ends

  15. Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking(cont.) • 50 clinical studies for 35 ingredients • 10 studies evaluated active ingredient(s) in treating athlete’s foot, but most poorly designed • Enrollment bias • Treatment duration • Efficacy assessment • Criteria for cure • Recommended 6 GRASE active ingredients

  16. Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (cont.) Labeling • Indication: “should enable the consumers to clearly understand the results that can be anticipated from the use of the product” • Warning: “if irritation occurs or if there is no improvement within 4 weeks, discontinue use and consult a doctor or pharmacist” • Direction: “should be clear and direct. They should provide the user with sufficient information to enable safe and effective use of the product” • Apply twice a day for 4 weeks

  17. Tentative Final Monograph • Published December 1989 • 25 clinical studies submitted following ANPR • 6 studies addressed athlete’s foot • FDA agreed with the Panel’s recommended conditions of use except for two ingredients • Nystatin: not GRASE • Povidone-iodine: GRASE

  18. Final Monograph • Published September 1993 • FDA reviewed 10 studies submitted after TFM • GRASE active ingredients: • Clinoquinol 3% • Haloprogin 1% • Miconazole nitrate 2% • Povidone-iodine 10% • Tolnaftate 1% • Undecylenic acid and its salts (calcium, copper, and zinc) for a total undecylenate concentration of 10-25%

  19. Final Monograph Amendments cures “most” indication • August 2000 • Rationale for amendment: • Varying percentages of subjects were clinically and mycologically cured • Consistent with OTC vaginal antifungal drug products Adding clotrimazole • February 2002 • FDA reviewed 8 studies submitted after the FM

  20. Summary • OTC drug monograph system: safety and effectiveness for entire therapeutic class • OTC topical antifungal monograph • GRASE active ingredients and labeling • for treatment of athlete’s foot, jock itch and ringworm • Difficult to compare athlete’s foot cure rates for monograph drug products • Monograph requires labeling of expected outcome: “cures most athlete’s foot”
