The NIH proposal to conceal reviewer scores from program officers, investigators, and advisory councils is ill-conceived, introduces disproportionate weight to small percentile differences, diminishes the role of scientific peer review, and should be withdrawn in its entirety. a 🧵

FEDERAL DEFENDANTS' STATUS REPORT
On April 7, 2026, this Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary relief and
granted Federal Defendants' motion to stay proceedings "pending completion of [the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration's] ongoing review of the mifepristone REMS and
issuance of any resulting agency decision." ECF No. 258 at 36. The Court directed FDA to file a report within six months "providing the Court with the status of its review in
terms of process and any updated timeframe for completion of the review." Id.
Accordingly, FDA reports as follows:

REMS review. In addition, FDA has been directed to reconsider the 2023 decision
modifying the REMS in two other cases. See Purcell v. Kennedy, Civ. No. 17-00493, 2025
WL 310785 (D. Haw. Oct. 30, 2025); Whole Woman's Health Alliance v. U.S. Food and Drug
Admin., Civ. No. 3:23-00019, 2026 WL 2125567 (W.D. Va. July 23, 2026). Among other
things, those decisions require FDA to apply statutory factors in 21 U.S.C. § 355-1(a)(1)
that, based on the Agency's interpretation of the statutory requirements, it has not
previously evaluated in approving modifications to the REMS; compare mifepristone to
certain other drugs with comparable risks under 21 U.S.C. § 355-1(f) (2) (D)(i); consider
publications beyond those that FDA evaluated in reaching its 2023 decision; and consider the views of patients, providers, and pharmacists if the Agency is considering
imposing elements to assure safe use (also known as ETASU) under 21 U.S.C. § 355-
1(f)(2) as part of the Mifepristone REMS Program.
7. Following completion of its study and review, FDA will decide whether
changes to the Mifepristone REMS Program are necessary and, if applicable, initiate any
such changes in accordance with established processes. FDA anticipates that it will be
able to provide an update to its estimated date of completion as more information
becomes known, particularly in March 2027 when it expects to complete its report on
the final study results
3 In response to the Court's direction to describe "FDA's authority to issue interim orders addressing the prescribing or distribution of a drug if confronted with concerning information during its review," ECF No. 229, the government previously outlined FDA's authorities regarding approval suspension, labeling changes, and REMS
