. This article and Article 1 (commencing with Section 109250)
shall not apply to the use of any drug, medicine, compound, or
device intended solely for legitimate and bona fide investigational
purposes by experts qualified by scientific training and experience
to investigate the safety and therapeutic value thereof unless the
department shall find that the drug, medicine, compound, or device is
being used in diagnosis or treatment for compensation and profit. In
order to qualify for an exemption under this section there shall be
on file with the federal Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
a current and unrevoked investigational new drug application issued
pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 505 of the federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. Sec. 355(i)), or the following
conditions shall be complied with:
(a) The label of the drug, medicine, compound, or device shall
bear the statement "Caution: New drug (or medicine or compound or
device). Use in the diagnosis, treatment, alleviation, or cure of
cancer limited by law to investigational use."
(b) The drug, medicine, compound, or device has had adequate
testing on appropriate experimental animals to demonstrate a lack of
toxicity and hazard sufficient to permit its use in or on human
beings and to establish with clarity the margins of safety ordinarily
recognized by experts qualified by scientific training and
experience to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the drugs,
substances, or devices.
(c) The drug, medicine, compound, or device is to be used solely
for investigational use by, or under the direction of, an expert
qualified by scientific training and experience to investigate the
safety and effectiveness of the drug, medicine, compound, or device.
(d) A written statement signed by the expert has been filed with
the board. The statement shall show what facilities the expert will
use for the investigation to be conducted by him or her, and that the
drug, medicine, compound, or device will be used solely by him or
her or under his or her direction for the investigation. The
statement shall contain information identifying any assistant or
agent of the expert who uses the drug, medicine, compound, or device
under the direction of the expert.
(e) Complete records of the investigation shall be kept by the
expert and all records shall be made available by the expert for
inspection upon the request of any agent of the board at any
reasonable hour as long as the expert desires exemption.
(f) The expert shall inform any persons who participate in the
investigation as patients, that the drug, medicine, compound, or
device is being used for investigational purposes and shall obtain
the consent of the persons or their representatives.
