Ashley Brandon Foyle: Debarment Order
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an order under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) debarring Ashley Brandon Foyle for 5 years from providing services in any capacity to a person that has an approved or pending drug product application. FDA bases this order on a finding that Mr. Foyle was convicted of introducing and delivering for introduction into interstate commerce a misbranded drug, which relates to the development or approval, including the process for development or approval, of drug products and to the regulation of drug products under the FD&C Act. In addition, FDA determined that the type of conduct that served as the basis for Mr. Foyle's conviction undermines the process for the regulation of drugs. Mr. Foyle was given notice of the proposed debarment and an opportunity to request a hearing within the prescribed timeframe by regulation but failed to respond. Mr. Foyle's failure to respond constitutes a waiver of his right to a hearing concerning this action.
