New Drug Rules Aimed To Protect
Public From Thalidomide Tragedies
WASHINGTON UP! - New
drug regulations aimed at protect
ing the public from a repitition of
last year's thalidomide tragedy
will go into effect Feb. 7.
The new rules issued by the
. Food and Drug Administration ov
er the weekend are a direct re
sult of the tranquilizer drug which
. resulted in the birth of deformed
' babies.
FDA acted under orders from
Congress to shield the public from
untested drugs such as Thalido.
mide which caused thousands of
' deformed births abroad.
A few expectant mothers took
thalidomide in the United States
by means of samples distributed
by doctors. But the stubborn op
position of Dr. Frances 0. Kelsey,
an FDA medical officer, kept the
German-developed drug from be
ing put on sale in the United
States.
Decorated by President
Dr. Kelsey later was decorated
by President Kennedy because
her insistance on more proof of
the drug's safety prevented wide
spread tragedy. Only recently she
was put in charge oi FDA's new
drug investigation division.
Among olher things, the new
FDA regulations require that:
FDA be notified and supplied
with full details on the distribu
tion of all experimental drugs.
The drugs be tested clinically
on animals to guarantee their
safety.
Such tests be properly
planned and carried nut by qua!
ified investigators and that these
investigators and the FDA be
kept fully informed on all prog
ress made.
The new rules mean any drug
found unsafe or ineffective can

FDA Commissioner George P.
Larritk said.
Before Congress authorized the
new rules, Larrick said, drug
makers did not have to give no
tice of a clinical test or supply
later reports on a drug s use.
Test on Human Beings
After tests of drugs are run on
animals, the rules provide regula
tions for clinical tests on human
beings. These regulations cover,
first, when drugs are given to a
limited number of people under
closely controlled scientific con
ditions. and second, when they
are given to a larger group of
people by a number of physicians
The drug firm or research or
ganization must investigate and
report promptly on any findings
that may suggest hazards or side
effects. If the findings are alarm
ing, they must be reported imme
diately and testing must he dis
continued until a decision is
reached on whether it is safe to
proceed.
The new rules were completed
after FDA met with scientific
groups and reviewed more than 30
written recommendations. There
were protests that the origi
nal FDA proposals were too in
flexible.

lie reported, "that during the last
50 years, the members of the
Jamison and Wylie partnership
held cither the district attorney's
office or judgeship of Modoc
County. I don't know but what
that might be some kind of a
record," he continued wryly.
Now that he is retired, the judge
says that he and his wife. Dorothy,
will share their time between San
Francisco and Alturas. The judge
has an extensive mining interest
near Alturas that he is develop
ing and is also writing the history
