Forum

  1. Home
  2. PAAB Q&A
  3. FYI post-approval change/preclearance exemption/what requires review/PAAB scope
  4. 47 - If we offer samples to physicians, by a 3rd party company, do we need to get PAAB approval of the offer/promotion if it only contains an graphic/image of the brand name, logo, and quantity of samples offered. There will be no claims made...only this minimal information. Does a PI need to accompany the offer?

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.

    A simple sample request form would not require PAAB review provided that there are no additional messages or embellishment such as taglines or claims of merit. However, if it is part of a promotional piece (e.g. detail aid, journal ad), it would be subject to the PAAB review.
