[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
