I am replying to your 8/29/1995, letter in which you requested “detailed records” of the patients treated in the National Cancer Institute sponsored trials of antineoplastons

Our records indicate that the data has been regularly supplied to you by our contractor, Theradex, as listed below:

Clinical Studies Detail Report

Pg. 2

I am enclosing a summary of the categories of data that are included in the reports you have received

These reports are the same ones that have been provided to us by the contractor during the conduct of the Antineoplaston studies

Both the format and frequency of these reports are routine for reporting data of ongoing NCI Phase II trials to the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program staff

These are also the same types of reports that are provided to pharmaceutical companies when they are cosponsors of a study

We have no individual patient records in our possession in addition to the Theradex reports

As of the last report provided to you of 4/10/1995, prior to the studies being put on hold and subsequently closed, you were sent the same reports that were provided to CTEP staff and protocols T93-0078 and T93-0134

However, enclosed for your convenience is a recent print-out of the data that was prepared for our staff in a slightly different format

Once the routine quality control review of data entry has been completed, we will send you a final print-out

[21] – 1995 (8/23/1995) – Robert B. Lanman, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Legal Advisor, Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Office of the Secretary, Office of the General Council, Public Health Division 1 page letter to Richard A. Jaffe, Esq.

This is in response to the issues raised in your 7/21/1995 letter

First, you raised questions as to how clinical trials of antineoplastons could proceed absent Dr. Burzynski’s concurrence

Although NCI clearly prefers to conduct or sponsor studies with permission of such an individual is not required

In the present case, even assuming that the clinical trials involved some of Dr. Burzynski’s patented products or processes, the use of antineoplastons would be permissible under the research exemption

However, in light of the recent decision to close the studies at the Mayo Clinic and Memorial Sloan-Kettering, conveyed to Dr. Burzynski in a letter from Dr. Michael A. Friedman dated 8/18/1995, these issues now seem moot

In addition, you requested in your letter that we provide you or Dr. Burzynski with the medical records of patients treated by the Principle Investigators

To our knowledge, Dr. Burzynski has received, on an ongoing basis, complete copies of the reports prepared by Theradex after the Principle Investigators submit their data

Dr. Burzynski has received precisely the same information that is provided to the National Cancer Institute (NCI)

The NCI does not possess any individual patient records to provide to Dr. Burzynski

Finally, we are not aware of any “committee” investigating Dr. Burzynski’s allegations regarding the protocols
