Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs Summit - FDA Expedited Programs, Orphan Drug Designation, and US Pediatric Strategies
The FDA has enacted many laws that strive to spur innovation in the development of therapies for patients in need, and bring these therapies to patients faster, specifically in areas where there is unmet medical need, serious and life threatening conditions, and pediatric therapies. These pathways have had a significant impact on both the Agency and industry, and while the full impact will not be known for several years, they carry substantial implications for regulatory affairs professionals now.
