384 - What type of references are allowed in unbranded materials? I am interested in using studies which are based on patient surveys/questionnaires as well as some review papers (neither of which have a focus on the company's branded product). Would these type of references be allowed or are strictly limited to the same rules as branded communications? Thanks.
