ABSTRACT
Medication administration via enteral feeding tubes (EFT) is a necessary practice for patients unable to swallow oral dosage forms due to a medical condition or treatment that affects the ability to swallow or the function of the gastrointestinal tract. Off-label administration of oral drug products via EFT raises concerns for pharmaceutical sponsors, regulators, and healthcare practitioners (HCPs) because of the potential risks this practice introduces to both the patient and the caregiver. These risks can be mitigated by generating data-supported instructions that patients and HCPs can use to ensure safe and accurate administration of oral drug products via EFT. This commentary presents an industry perspective on the testing that should be conducted to enable development of product-specific instructions in the labeling to support or advise against administration of oral drug products via enteral feeding tube. The proposal outlined in this commentary takes a risk-based approach, addressing recommendations from both regulatory agencies as well as considerations for expanding this testing to address needs specific to neonatal and pediatric populations.
