Innovation Initiative to modernize the FDA

New FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb intends to release a far-reaching plan aimed at modernizing regulatory processes and speeding approvals for new drugs and devices, which could allow greater patient access to new medicines through unprecedented scientific and technological advancements.

The FDA will also move forward with guidance in areas including novel clinical trial design and use of real-world evidence in drug approvals, which has been made possible through recently developed digital technologies.
