Statement from AADA President Kenneth J. Tomecki, MD, FAAD
ROSEMONT, Ill. (Dec. 14, 2021) — The American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA) has been working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the iPLEDGE Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program administrator, and the program sponsors to ensure a seamless transition to the new platform that launched on Dec.13, 2021.
In advance of this transition, the AADA engaged the FDA and the iPLEDGE administrator about the numerous workflow concerns raised by dermatologists and how the impending changes would threaten patient access to necessary medication. Those concerns have become a reality across the country and we’re working to ensure patients can maintain safe and appropriate access to the treatment they need.
For years, the AADA has worked with the FDA to make the iPLEDGE program less burdensome for patients. The challenges facing dermatologists and their patients is unacceptable and we’re calling on the FDA, the iPLEDGE administrator, and the program sponsors to support physicians and their patients.
The AADA supports any efforts to streamline the iPLEDGE program while preserving patient safety and incorporating physician input. Our focus remains on working with the FDA, the iPLEDGE administrator, and the program sponsors to increase access to medications that will strengthen patient outcomes.
