Przeciwdziałanie off label use w prawie europejskim. Zarys wybranych problemów
Journal Title: Studia Prawno-Ekonomiczne - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The author presents European regulations, which are to increase the availability of medicinal products by increasing patent protection as well as financial and organizational support for research into new medicinal products. Shortages of medicinal products cause authorized medicines to be used outside the scope of their authorization, which is defined as the concept of their off label use. The article clarifies the scope of this concept. It also brings up the causes, the scale and the risks to the patients’ health related to the phenomenon of the use of drugs outside the scope of their authorization. The author argues that the practice of the off label use of drugs occurs not only in paediatrics and the treatment of orphan diseases. The European legislator has established, however, a system of incentives for clinical trials on drugs for rare diseases and drugs for paediatric use. The evaluation and outcome of these regulations is positive. However, they are insufficient, given the scale of the phenomenon andthe risks to which patients are exposed.
