Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
Now Available HCP Email and Fair Balance
-
Hi There,
We are developing a "Now Available" email and we are a bit confused about the level of fair balance needed (or lack of fair balanced needed)!
The email mentions the route of administration for the drug (drug x is for IV infusion) and also links out to 3 HCP-facing materials that all have the correct level of fair balance and are named very appropriately (i.e. PSP Enrollment Form, About Drug X Leave Behind, and Patient Info Brochure). Am I mistaken to think that the lowest level of fair balance is not needed?
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Good morning @caitlinbyrne
While “now available” as a stand-alone message is exempt, when it is paired with another marketing claim (route of administration), the piece is no longer exempt. This piece appears to require lowest level fair balance if restricted to the copy noted above.
