B.4 STATEMENT OF WORK

B.4.1 BACKGROUND

The primary function of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) is to protect Americans from tobacco-related disease and death by regulating the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products and by educating the public, especially young people, about tobacco products and the dangers their use poses to themselves and others. FDA’s CTP implements PL 111-31 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the Family

Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act), which was signed into law on June 22, 2009. The Tobacco Control Act granted the FDA authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect public health. Because tobacco products are not regulated as drugs, their effects on human behavior and pharmacology have not been evaluated by FDA. The Offeror will provide the scientific support necessary to assist in the implementation of this law under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Specifically, under this contract, the Offeror shall assist FDA by assessing tobacco product pharmacology and human behaviors in healthy volunteer male and female tobacco users.

B.4.2. PROJECT PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES

The primary objective of this IDIQ contract is to evaluate the impact of tobacco products on human behavior,

pg. 8 toxicology, physiology, and pharmacology, including clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. To fulfill these objectives the Government seeks a Contractor to perform a series of studies (including chemical analyses) with a wide range of tasks to accomplish the objectives as further described in this SOW.

Studies may assess the impacts of tobacco products on a variety of outcomes in humans, including dependence, craving, withdrawal, choice behavior, switching behavior and topography, harm perception, subjective and sensory effects, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects, toxicology, physiology, and measurements of biomarkers of exposure (e.g., nicotine, cotinine, CO, TSNAs). Laboratory studies may be required to follow Good Laboratory

Practices. For all clinical pharmacology studies, use of a Clinical Pharmacology Unit and Good Clinical Practices are required. Data collected under this contract will inform FDA on the behavioral and pharmacological effects associated with tobacco product use and may guide tobacco product policies and regulations.

B.4.3. SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractors activities shall depend on the individual Task Order requirements, which will define the specific needs of the Government and may include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Develop scientific protocols and methodologies for clinical studies to evaluate tobacco product use behavior (e.g., switching behaviors, topography), pharmacology, toxicology, and physiology outcomes.

• Select a clinical research facility with the appropriate structures to perform the clinical research study (e.g., ventilated smoking rooms). Additional considerations are subject to specific study design and may include in-patient overnight and weekend visits or longer-term outpatient studies (e.g., 6 weeks of study product use in a natural environment).

• Develop and/or validate laboratory assessments (e.g., detailed analytical methods to be used to detect biomarkers of exposure and their LLOD and LLOQ), measurement techniques (e.g., capabilities of administering surveys electronically), and study protocols. Additional considerations are subject to specific study design and may include the manufacturing, manipulation, or procurement of study products as well as product characterization and stability testing.

• Obtain Investigational Tobacco Product (ITP) clearance, if appropriate. (ITP Draft Guidance)

• Provide documentation for protocol package submission to the FDA Institutional Review Board (IRB) and an external, local, IRB, to include comprehensive human subjects’ protection plans, consent forms, data safety and monitoring plans, and security plans for sensitive data.

• Provide review and approval from a Federal Wide Assurance (FWA)-certified IRB.

• Provide documentation and other information needed for submission of a packet to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) including Information Collection Requests

(http://www.hhs.gov/ocio/policy/collection/infocolsub.html), if appropriate.

• Develop participant recruitment and retention plans, including power analyses, expected drop out rates, and compensation based on the study’s design and objectives.

• Execute recruitment, screening, and selection of participants based on study inclusion and exclusion criteria.

• Administer tobacco products to participants and provide appropriate medical monitoring.

• Collect behavioral, biological, pharmacological, and toxicological data, including data on use behavior

(e.g., topography, switching behaviors) and pharmacokinetic analyses of tobacco smoke constituent biomarkers (e.g., nicotine, cotinine, CO, TSNAs). Additional outcomes are subject to specific study design, but may include harm perceptions, subjective and sensory effects, and acute health effects.

• Perform data analyses, including statistical analyses and interpretation to support the study objectives.

• Deliver tabulated interim raw data as well as the results of the data analyses in SAS transport (.xpt), Microsoft Excel, or other appropriate formats.

https://www.fda.gov/downloads/TobaccoProducts/Labeling/RulesRegulationsGuidance/UCM463953.pdf http://www.hhs.gov/ocio/policy/collection/infocolsub.html

pg. 9

• Develop a comprehensive quality assurance plan for each task order, including details for study monitoring, data auditing, and source document monitoring.

• Perform and document safety and quality assurance testing to ensure 100% data verification and integrity.

• Use Good Clinical Practices (see Attachments) and industry/research standards to ensure and maintain the confidentiality of data.

• Conduct scientific literature reviews to provide appropriate scientific background for study goals and discussion of results.

• Provide intermediate and final data reports.

• Provide comprehensive minutes of meetings and conference calls and monthly progress reports.
