Extractions: (Hansen' s disease) What is leprosy? Who gets leprosy? How is leprosy spread? What are the symptoms of leprosy? ... How can leprosy be prevented? Leprosy is a chronic bacterial disease of the skin, nerves in the hands and feet and, in some cases, the lining of the nose. Leprosy is a rare disease in the United States. Anyone can get leprosy, but children seem to be more susceptible than adults. It is not clear how the leprosy germ is spread, but household and prolonged close contact is important. The germs probably enter the body through the nose and possibly through broken skin. The germs get in the air through nasal discharge of untreated lepromatous patients. Tuberculoid leprosy symptoms are a few well-defined skin lesions that are numb. Lepromatous leprosy symptoms are a chronically stuffy nose and many skin lesions and nodules on both sides of the body. How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?

T98-44 Ivy Fleischer Kupec: 301-827-6242 July 16, 1998 Consumer Hotline: 800-532-4440 FDA APPROVES THALIDOMIDE FOR HANSEN'S DISEASE SIDE EFFECT, IMPOSES UNPRECEDENTED RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTION FDA today cleared thalidomide for marketing as a treatment for erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), a serious inflammatory condition in patients with Hansen's disease (also known as leprosy) while at the same time it imposed unprecedented restrictions on the drug's distribution. Because of its well-known potential for causing birth defects, thalidomide will be among the most tightly restricted drugs ever to be marketed in the United States. The following may be used to answer questions: In September 1997, FDA's Dermatologic and Dental Drugs Advisory Committee recommended thalidomide's approval based on an analysis of the totality of available data, including historical data based on the experience of the Public Health Service and published literature, that demonstrated thalidomide's effect in treating the skin lesions of ENL for more than 30 years.

Extractions: Supervisory Review of NDA 20-785 Janet Woodcock, MD July 7, 1998 I. INTRODUCTION This is a supervisory medical review of NDA 20-785, a marketing application submitted by Celgene Corporation for thalidomide (trade name Thalomid) for the treatment of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), a designated orphan indication. The application was originally submitted on 12/24/96. The drug thalidomide has a long FDA history. Thalidomide was approved in Europe in 1957. A US marketing application was reviewed by the Agency in 1960 and was not approved because of concerns about neuropathy associated with use of the drug. While the Agency was awaiting answers to these concerns, the link between thalidomide use and an epidemic of congenital malformations (phocomelia and other organ defects) occurring in Europe was recognized and the drug was withdrawn from marketing. The tragedy played a part in the debate around the 1962 amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that resulted in specific effectiveness requirements for drugs. A chance observation in the 1960's suggested that thalidomide might be useful in the treatment of patients with erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), an inflammatory complication of certain forms of Hansen

Extractions: In 1978, NIAID awarded two contracts for the purpose of fractionating Mycobacterium leprae -infected armadillo organs to derive sizable quantities of M. leprae for use by the leprosy research community. Dr. Brennan's National Jewish Hospital was awarded one. On Dr. Brennan's transfer to Colorado State University in 1980, the work moved there. Thus, we have had this contract since 1979 through four subsequent recompetitions. Since the closedown of the WHO/IMMLEP M. leprae Bank in 1990, this Contract is now the sole source of appreciable quantities of M. leprae and its various products. Prior to 1995, two contracts existed, "Isolation, Purification and Characterization of Antigens from Purified Mycobacterium leprae Obtained from Armadillo Tissue" at CSU and "Establishment and Maintenance of an Armadillo Colony Infected with M. leprae

Extractions: There is a vast difference between visiting a place and working in a place. From 1984 to 1986 I found West Africa to be a wonderful place to live and to work; tourists, however, experienced problems with the authorities and the near complete lack of a tourist infrastructure. Fortunately Ghana has made a steady and amazing recovery from those hard times. In 1992 I visited the atoll island Mwokilloa and found it to be an incredible beautiful place to visit, I also remembered that I was told in 1984 by U.S. Peace Corps that atolls had the highest early termination rates. That is, they are hard places to live. In my own opinion Pohnpei is a fantastic place to visit and to live. This is a document painting a non-tourist picture of working in Micronesia as some have come and not been overly happy here. Others have come and fallen in love with Micronesia. We figure better to come in with lowered expectations and be pleasantly surprised that things are not all so bad after all than come in with visions of Tahiti or Honolulu and be not so pleasantly surprised. The material was written for potential post-secondary employees, hence the collegiate slant on the material. The core of this document was originally put together by former Chair Languages and Literature Danny Wyatt. Former Chair Natural Sciences and Mathematics Calvin Burgoyne edited and expanded the document.
