"While much within the guidance was anticipated, there were some aspects that were both unexpected and represent exciting opportunities for our industry," Dr. Slatko said.  "These include new options, such as implementing voluntary risk mitigation measures beyond a REMS, modifying the assessment timetable and modifying the REMS program and/or its goals.  Other aspects were incompletely addressed, such as evidence-based risk assessment and patient tools beyond Medication Guides."
