Infectious Diseases Compliance Pack

HIV antiretrovirals, hepatitis C direct-acting antivirals, hospital antibiotics and COVID antivirals operate under complex promotional constraints. Resistance profiling claims, off-label prophylaxis promotion, diagnostic-linked prescribing, antibiotic stewardship programme claims and emergency use promotion are among the most technically demanding compliance issues in infectious diseases.

Specialist compliance area: Infectious diseases combines the complexities of hospital prescribing, antibiotic stewardship responsibilities, HIV and hepatitis stigma considerations, and emergency/compassionate use rules. Off-label prophylaxis promotion, resistance barrier claims and diagnostic-linked prescribing materials all carry specific ABPI Code risks that are frequently misunderstood.

The specific risks your infectious diseases team faces right now

๐Ÿงซ High Risk

Resistance profiling claims

Claims about the resistance barrier, resistance profile or cross-resistance of HIV antiretrovirals or antibiotics must be supported by robust data relevant to the licensed indication and must not imply clinical superiority without head-to-head evidence.

๐Ÿ’Š High Risk

Off-label use in prophylaxis settings

Promotional activity that facilitates or encourages off-label use of antiretrovirals in PrEP settings, or antibiotics in surgical prophylaxis beyond the licensed indication, is a significant Code risk โ€” particularly for materials shared at HIV or infectious diseases conferences.

๐Ÿ”ฌ High Risk

Diagnostic-linked prescribing promotion

Materials that link specific diagnostic tests or biomarkers to prescribing decisions in a way that promotes off-label use, or that imply a preferred prescribing pattern beyond the licence, have attracted PMCPA attention in infectious diseases.

๐Ÿฅ Medium Risk

Antibiotic stewardship programme claims

Companies sponsoring antibiotic stewardship programmes or educational initiatives must ensure these do not contain promotional elements for their own products. Blurring the educational/promotional boundary in hospital settings is a frequent PMCPA trigger.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ High Risk

Compassionate / emergency use promotion

COVID-19 antiviral and other infectious disease products approved under emergency or conditional marketing authorisation must not be promoted as if fully licensed. Any promotional activity prior to or beyond the full licence scope is a serious breach.

๐Ÿงฌ Medium Risk

HCV DAA comparative claims

Claims about sustained virologic response rates, treatment duration or simplicity of dosing regimens for hepatitis C direct-acting antivirals require careful attention to genotype-specific data and must not imply superiority without comparative trial data.

Infectious Diseases cases that every team should know

The pack includes expert walkthroughs of all relevant PMCPA adjudications in infectious diseases. Here are three landmark cases.

Off-label Prophylaxis Promotion
AUTH/3118
Gilead Sciences ยท 2021
Upheld

Materials associated with bictegravir-based therapy at an HIV conference were found to contain content that facilitated or encouraged off-label prescribing in a PrEP context not covered by the then-licensed indication.

Resistance Barrier Claims
AUTH/2934
ViiV Healthcare ยท 2019
Upheld

Promotional materials for dolutegravir claimed a superior resistance barrier to competitor integrase inhibitors. The PMCPA found the claims constituted comparative superiority assertions not supported by direct comparative data.

Emergency Use Promotion
AUTH/3462
Pfizer ยท 2023
Upheld

Communications relating to a COVID-19 antiviral product were found to contain promotional elements that went beyond the scope of the conditional marketing authorisation in place at the time of the complaint.

The pack includes all relevant infectious diseases PMCPA cases with video walkthroughs, expert commentary and quiz questions.
