Although all the remaining patients were contacted and told to stop taking their medication, six more subsequently developed severe toxicity. Five patients died, and two others were probably saved from death only by having liver transplants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn response to a request from the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, the IOM committee has analyzed the FIAU clinical trials, making recommendations for additional safeguards for the conduct of future clinical trials. This evaluation included the review of documents pertaining to investigational new drug submissions, protocols and consent forms from other clinical trials, as well as information available from other clinical and preclinical experience with compounds related to FIAU and its parent drug, fiacitibine (FIAC), which is metabolized to FIAU. The committee does not seek to affix responsibility for the adverse outcome of this NIH trial, but instead focuses on whether any rules or procedures governing the clinical trials process itself need to be changed, and if so, what burdens or costs such changes might place on future clinical trials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine,Committee to Review the Fialuridine (Fia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309052793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309052795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.06h x 8.55w x 0.73d","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064822083839,"sku":"9780309052795","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55708b19-8472-4513-b568-cb27bfb722bb.jpg?v=1768671259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/review-of-the-fialuridine-fiau-institute-of-medicine-9780309052795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
