Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002
Re: Request Regarding COVID-19, Docket: FDA-2020-D-1106
Dear Dr. Woodcock,
We, the undersigned, respectfully request the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
reconsider its limitation of the recently released Policy for Certain REMS Requirements During
the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (Docket FDA-2020-D-1106).
The policy waives certain Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) requirements
namely laboratory tests and imaging but not others. The requirements that certain drugs must
be dispensed in-person by certain medical professionals provides similar burdens and risks to
patients and providers as the waived requirements. Therefore, we request that in-person
dispensation requirements, specifically for mifepristone, be included in this policy as temporarily
waived.
Primarily, we are concerned that any delay in accessing abortion care is unsafe for patients. The
in-person requirements in the Elements to Assure Safe Use (ETASU) of the REMS for
mifepristone, is hindering access to medication abortion care and jeopardizing the health and
safety of both patients and healthcare providers. Numerous medical associations, including the
American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians, and American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists support the removal of REMS on mifepristone.
The REMS on mifepristone is requiring patients, unnecessarily, to access medical services in-
person, instead of using telemedicine and mail-order pharmacy options. This unnecessarily raises
the risk for many individuals, including medical providers who are required to see patients in-
person to dispense or prescribe medication, their staff, and their patients.
As you know, the virus has up to a 14-day incubation period wherein people could be infected or
carriers of the virus without symptoms. Patients and family members could be infected with
COVID-19 and unwittingly carry the virus into medical offices. Not only could healthcare
providers become infected, but they could potentially spread the virus to other patients, their
families and other parts of the community. Unnecessary in-person visits make medical offices
potential transmission sites for the virus.
2
During this unprecedented public health crisis, it is imperative that patients, especially those who
are vulnerable or who live in rural areas, can use telehealth and mail-order pharmacy services to
access needed healthcare without unnecessary restrictions, particularly for medications that do
not pose a risk of abuse or overdose.
The change in REMS is needed to help reduce the risk to patients and alleviate the extreme
burden on the rest of the healthcare system presently. The same compelling public health
argument that allows temporary waving laboratory tests and/or imaging requirements also
applies to in-person dispensation requirements of REMS for mifepristone. Please include in-
person dispensation requirements of the mifepristone REMS under enforcement discretion
during this public health emergency.
We thank you for your swift attention to this issue.
