And now I will go ahead and read the conflict of interest statement. The
following announcement addresses conflict of interest issues associated with
the meeting of the Vaccines and Biological Products Advisory Committee on
November 3, 2000, for the discussion of the safety and efficacy of CPDT
Adsorbed, the Diphtheria Tetanus Acellular Pertussis Vaccine sponsored by
Aventis Pasteur Limited of Toronto, Canada.
Of the committee members, Drs. Kim and Snyder could not be with us today. However, the Director of the Center for
Biologics Evaluation and Research has appointed Drs. Thomas Fleming, Erik
Hewlett, John Livengood and Martin Myers as temporary voting members for the
discussion. To determine if any
conflicts of interest existed, the Agency reviewed the submitted agenda and all
financial interests reported by the meeting
participants. As a result of this review, the following disclosures were
made. In accordance with 18 U.S.C. 208, Dr. Goldberg, Kohl, Fleming and
Hewlett have been granted waivers which permit them to participate in the
committee discussion and to vote. In accordance with the Food and Drug Administration
Modernization Act of 1997, Section 505, Drs. Estes, Goldberg, Kohl, Stephens,
Fleming and Hewlett have been granted waivers which permit them to participate
fully in the committee discussions. Dr. Robert Daum has recused himself from
the discussion on CPDT Adsorbed. Drs.
Estes, Faggett, Griffin, Katz and Stephens have associations with firms
that could be affected by the committee discussions. However, in accordance
with 18 U.S.C. 208 and Section 2635.502 of the Standards of Conduct, it has been
determined that waivers or appearance determinations are not warranted for this
discussion.
