About FDA
Initial Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) reviews completed in the month
Dictionary: A Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is a required risk management plan that uses tools, as specified in FDAAA, beyond routine professional labeling (the package insert) necessary to ensure that the benefits of a drug outweigh its risks. A REMS is an enforceable document included with the REMS approval letter that describes the elements that an applicant is required to implement.
These measures has been retired as CDER has created new measures for FY13 which align to their four functional areas of 1) Regulatory Review and Drug Safety, 2) Drug Quality and Compliance, 3) Transparency and Public Outreach, and 4) Regulatory Science Research.
