Thomas, representing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), met with you to review your conduct of a clinical study (protocol L of the investigational drug Zyvox (linezolid), performed for Pharmacia and Upjohn Company. This inspection is a part of FDA’s Bioresearch Monitoring Program, which includes inspections designed to validate clinical studies on which drug approval may be based and @ assure that the rights and welfare of the human subjects of those studies have been protected. From our evaluation of the inspection report, the documents submitted with that report, and your written response dated April 6, 2000, we conclude that you did not adhere to all pertinent federal regulations and/or good clinical investigational practices. We note that at the conclusion of the inspection, Ms. Hirshfield presented and discussed with you the items listed on Form FDA 483, Inspectional Observations. Your written responses to items 1.b.i, 1.b.v, 1.d, 1.e.ii, 1.e.iv, 1.e.v, 2.c, 2.d, 2,i, 2.j, and 5 (for subject #54 10347), have been evaluated and accepted.

FAILURE TO PERSONALLY CONDUCT AND SUPERVISE THE CLINICAL INVESTIGATION IN VIOLATION OF 21 CFR 312.60. You failed to personally conduct and supervise the clinical investigation as you agreed to by signing the investigator statement (Form FDA 1572). Deviations noted in this study resulted from a serious lack of supervision of personnel involved in assisting you with the conduct of this study. You should recognize that although authority may be delegated, it is the principal investigator who is ultimately responsible for the conduct of a study.

I spent 8 years from clinic to clinic and dr to dr in and out of the hospital on the edge of death every month , he and his office did the proper testing evaluating my condition and got me on the right meds, saved my life , I gained 50 pounds healthier than I have been in 15 years now, I go in every 6 months for test and follow up and have been retaining the great numbers and no longer feel like I have no quality of life, once going to die anytime now married and happy, I owe my life to dr Levenson and his staff.

Great doctor, great staff.
