FDA outlines ‘Innovation Initiative,’ Cures plans to speed up drug development

' The FDA and its new Trump-picked commissioner Scott Gottlieb took to social media to talk up the agency’s plans to speed up the drug regulation process. He writes on the blog FDA Voice that: “FDA will soon unveil a comprehensive Innovation Initiative. It will be aimed at making sure our regulatory processes are modern and efficient, so that safe and effective new technologies can reach patients in a timely fashion.

[...]

Gottlieb concluded: “We’re at the beginning of a transformative era in science and medical technology. Through our implementation of Cures, and our efforts to build on its provisions through a new Innovation Initiative, we hope that our collective efforts will help consumers benefit from this new progress. FDA’s headway in pursuing the opportunities enabled by Cures illustrates the agency’s enthusiasm and commitment to the law—both its letter and its spirit.”

But not everyone sees this as a positive. Adam Feuerstein, formerly of The Street and now senior biotech writer at STAT, said in reply to Gottlieb on Twitter about the new plans: “I read this for you, allow me to translate: The FDA intends to approve all drugs. Fast. You’ll really have to f**k up to get rejected.” '
