REGULATIONS & STANDARDS
FEDERAL REGULATIONS Sponsor 312.59 Disposition of unused supply of investigational drug The sponsor shall assure the return of all unused supplies of the investigational drug from each individual investigator. The sponsor may authorize alternative disposition of unused supplies of the investigational drug provided this alternative disposition does not expose humans to risks from the drug. The sponsor shall maintain written records of any disposition of the drug. <CFR Title 21 Section 312>
FEDERAL REGULATIONS Investigator 312.62 Investigator recordkeeping and record retention (a) Disposition of drug. An investigator is required to maintain adequate records of the disposition of the drug, including dates, quantity, and use by subjects. If the investigation is terminated, suspended, discontinued, or completed, the investigator shall return the unused supplies of the drug to the sponsor, or otherwise provide for disposition of the unused supplies of the drug under 312.59. <CFR Title 21 Section 312>
<E6 GCP: 4. Investigator and 5. Sponsor > GCP STANDARDS 4.6.3 Maintaining documentation of IP management 5.14.3 The sponsor s responsibilities to provide the procedures on adequate and safe return of unused investigational product(s) to the sponsor or alternative disposition if authorized by the sponsor and in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirement(s).
HAZARDOUS DRUGS USP 800 & NIOSH United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter 800 Disposal of all hazardous drug waste must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. All personnel who perform routine custodial waste removal and cleaning activities in hazardous drug handling areas must be trained in appropriate procedures to protect themselves and the environment to prevent hazardous drug contamination. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) List of antineoplastic and other hazardous drugs in healthcare settings
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES The Disposal of Controlled Substances final rule (2014) 21 CFR Part 1304, 1307, 1317 DEA Form 41 Inventory of drugs surrendered for disposal NYS CRR Part 80 Rules and Regulations on Controlled Substances Section 80.51 Surrender and disposal of controlled substances Section 80.52 Returns to supplier DOH Form 2340 Request for approval of disposal/destruction of controlled substances DOH Form 166 Controlled substance inventory form NOTE: DO NOT dispose of controlled substances for research using the DEA National Prescription Drug Take-back Day. Please follow pertinent procedures and documentation requirements.
RADIOACTIVE PHARMACEUTICALS The use of radiopharmaceuticals is highly regulated. Each facility must have a radioactive materials license from one of the following regulatory agencies: Long Island and Upstate NY: NYSDOH Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection (BERP) 10 NYCRR Part 16 State Sanitary Code New York City (5 boroughs): NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene - Office of Radiological Health (ORH) Article 175 of the Health Code It is strongly recommended to consult the Radiation Safety Officer prior to submitting a research protocol to the IRB. Only authorized users named on a license are permitted to prescribe radiopharmaceuticals to human beings.
RADIOACTIVE PHARMACEUTICALS Radiopharmaceuticals are utilized in Nuclear Medicine or PET imaging departments in hospitals or imaging facilities. A licensed nuclear medicine technologist (LNMT): is trained to administer radiopharmaceuticals to human beings for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes under the supervision of a physician authorized by a radioactive materials license. has a scope of practice that includes, but is not limited to, preparing the dose, assaying the dose, performing quality control tests and managing radioactive waste.

SPONSOR Example: NCI Policy and Guidelines Pharmaceutical Management Branch Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program, DCTD, NCI Return un-dispensed PMB supplied investigational agent to the NCI Clinical Repository when: o o The agent is no longer required for the study and the agent cannot be transferred to another DCTD sponsored protocol. The agent is unsuitable for clinical use. Do not return supplies dispensed to patients to the NCI Clinical Repository. o The purpose of documentation of patient returns on the Oral DARF is to record quantities returned for destruction on site in accordance with institutional policy.
SPONSOR Example: NCI Pharmacy Audit Sheet Return of Study Agent (Non-Compliance) NCI-supplied study agent is not returned, not transferred to an appropriate NCI protocol or not destroyed within 90 days. NCI-supplied study agent is destroyed without NCI authorization or not destroyed per local institution s destruction policy. Failure to maintain Return Form or documentation of local destruction. No written NCI authorization for transfer or for local destruction. NCI-supplied study agents not returned, transferred or destroyed when patients are in follow-up and no NCI-supplied study agent is being administered.

FACILITY PROCEDURES Feinstein & NSUH: Radiopharmaceuticals Radiopharmaceutical waste may be disposed of as regular waste once these two conditions are met: It has been stored for a minimum of 10 half-lives. For example: 18 F has a half life approximately 2 hours. After 24 hours, the waste may be handled as regular trash Surveys with a GM meter are indistinguishable from background.
FACILITY PROCEDURES Feinstein & NSUH: Radiopharmaceuticals All sharps waste must be stored in a sharps container. Full containers must be closed, labeled with the date and isotope and stored inside a lead-lined cabinet for 10 half-lives. All non-sharps waste must be collected in a bag, labeled with the date and isotope and stored in a lead-lined cabinet for 10 half-lives. If unit doses are ordered from a radiopharmaceutical vendor (such as Cardinal Health), the syringes and unused doses may be returned to their shielded containers and sent back to the vendor for proper disposal.
