Testimony Before the FDA’s Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee Regarding a Purportedly Abuse-Deterrent, Immediate-Release Form of Oxycodone
In testimony before a meeting of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee, Public Citizen urged the committee to recommend that the FDA reject new drug application submitted by SpecGx for an immediate-release oral tablet formulation of oxycodone that is intended to be abuse-deterrent for the management of pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.
