ACMT’s ToxIC Fentanyl Analog Study has detected the veterinary medication, medetomidine in patients seen in the ED after suspected opioid overdose. Data from this study contributed to findings presented in a recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) released by the CDC.

As the year comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to celebrate a year filled with achievements and growth!

ACMT/ToxIC’s “Real-world Examination of Naloxone for Drug Overdose Reversal (RENDOR)” project ranked second highest in funding amount.

Under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contract with the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT), the Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) is expanding its Drug Overdose Toxico-Surveillance (DOTS) Reporting Program evaluating patients with opioid and stimulant overdoses.

Under a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contract awarded to the American College of Medical Toxicology’s (ACMT), the Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) will examine the real-world administration of naloxone by community members, fire and police departments, and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel.

We are delighted to announce that ACMT has just received notice that we have been awarded three contracts from the FDA to support ToxIC’s toxicosurveillance program for the coming year.

The CDC has collaborated with ACMT’s ToxIC, a multicenter research network led by physicians specializing in medical toxicology, to develop a comprehensive toxico-surveillance dashboard capturing real-time data on nonfatal overdoses involving fentanyl.

The American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT), a professional membership organization of physicians who specialize in the treatment of poisoning and chemical exposures, has been closely following the events following the train derailment and subsequent fire that occurred on February 3, 2023  in East Palestine, OH.

The Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) has received a 2-year grant to continue its toxicosurveillance Novel Opioids and Stimulant Exposure (NOSE) project.

We are thrilled to announce that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has awarded ACMT a new 5-year $7.9 million contract to expand ACMT’s Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) drug surveillance activities.

In July of 2022 ToxIC  was awarded a supplemental subcontract to the Icahn School of Medicine R01 from NIDA (Alex Manini, MD, MS, FACMT, Principal Investigator).

The American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) Fentanyl Analog Study has detected an outbreak of illicit benzodiazepine co-exposures in patients seen in the emergency department.

The American College of Medical Toxicology’s Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) has received several reports of patients who became ill from using ivermectin formulations to prevent or treat COVID-19 infection. These incidents were reported through ToxIC’s FDA ACMT COVID-19 ToxIC (FACT) Pharmacovigilance Project Sub-registry between October 2020 and August 2021.

Medical toxicologists can play an important role in the recognition and reporting of adverse vaccine events.

ToxIC is excited to announce a new grant to partner with the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) and its Opioid Response Network (ORN).

The COVID-19 Sub-Registry will be developed as an enhanced data collection tool within the ToxIC network that will specifically focus on identifying potential adverse reactions related to COVID-19 drug treatments. Physicians specialized in medical toxicology will oversee the program at 15 designated medical centers across various geographic regions in the United States.

In April 2020, the Toxicology Investigator’s Consortium was awarded a 5-year subcontract to the Icahn School of Medicine on a new R01 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

The CDC has awarded ACMT a contract for access to data from the ToxIC Patient Registry, as part of CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) Division of Overdose Prevention (DOP) to enhance drug overdose surveillance.

Researchers from the American College of Medical Toxicology’s (ACMT’s) Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC), publish a study on poisoning with malicious or criminal intent with data collected from ToxIC’s case registry.
