Regulatory Gaps: What’s Left to “Fix” at FDA?

With each round of user fees, stakeholders discuss ways to improve the regulatory review and approval process for new medicines at FDA. Do we still need multiple UFAs revised every 5 years, or have we reached the point of diminishing returns? Has the recent glut of expedited programs taught us anything we can generalize to medicines for popular diseases? Are we chasing too much technology of less and less relevance to clinical outcomes? How can we focus on actionable data that is timely and truly pertinent? And how do we allow for patient input, learnings from ex-USA settings, and on-going iterative scientific developments while still making decisions that allow access to good medicines? These topics will be discussed from the perspective of the industry, the patient, and the regulator by recognizing shared aspirations but also the distinct responsibilities of each to better and more efficiently contribute to the protection and the promotion of US public health.

Medicare Part D and Rx Regulation

The Medicare drug benefit has been a rousing success for beneficiaries and for pharma. However, there is growing pressure for CMS to exert more control of Rx utilization—to curtail overuse, but also to encourage adherence. How might a more active role by Medicare change the commercial dynamics for prescription drugs?

9:15-10:15am Beyond the “Label”: Promotion in the Facebook Era
