Notas do Editor

  1. ASX Guidance Note 8:Disclose information through the ASX firstDissemination by other means does not abrogate this requirementMonitor relevant major social networking sites (especially around price sensitive announcements)Best practices:If information released by employees or others through social media, disclose information to ASX and trading holt (potentially)Use social media as secondary channel for dissemination (due to text limitations, consider linking to announcement)Risks of unauthorised disclosures remain (eg Whitehaven Coal - activist impersonated financier David Jones takeover)Promotion of therapeutic productsUnder TGA Code if a pharma company wants to use social media to promote prescription medicines to healthcare professionals, the site must be accessible by only healthcare professionals.Information provided must comply with the Code and the TGA-approved product information Information must not be misleading, must not encourage inappropriate or excessive use and must not be likely to lead to consumers self-diagnosing or inappropriately treating serious diseaseAdverse event reporting for marketed productsTGA’s Pharmacovigilance Guideline – must record and deal with all adverse events (including potentially those raised in social media)Congress passed the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) which contains a provision mandating that FDA issue final social media guidance no later than July 2014.To date FDA has issued Warning letters on social media, but has not taken any further steps other than several meetings.

  2. Neuren was forced into a trading halt after commentary was posted on social media regarding its Rett Syndrome trial. The parents of a subject participating in the trial suggested that certain of the symptoms had improved during the trial. The trial is blinded and has not been compromised, with results due 2HCY14.
  3. There’s no need to be a social media guru from Day 1. Start out by listening, then become more engaged.
