FDA unveils drugs to receive expedited review in support of ‘national priorities’
The FDA aims to cut drug review times to one or two months for nine medicines addressing major health issues, supporting U.S. national interests and lowering costs.
- On Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration announced the first round of experimental drugs to receive drastically expedited reviews as part of Trump administration priorities.
- Under the program announced earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration aims to decide approvals in one to two months, faster than standard 10-month or six-month accelerated reviews.
- Selected items also include Pergoveris, a drug for IVF treatments, with no mention of vaping addiction, deafness, or pancreatic cancer, as reported.
- At the White House, President Donald Trump highlighted the expedited review of experimental drugs supporting U.S. national interests, with approvals expected in one to two months.
- Agency officials point to precedent, with FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary suggesting the agency could speed approvals by citing the truncated COVID-19 vaccine process under Operation Warp Speed.
