Recorded on June 9, 2020

Life science organizations must keep up-to-date with policies and new FDA initiatives affecting marketed and emerging products. The goal of accelerating medical product development and creating a robust regulatory strategy that considers opportunities and manages and mitigates risks is critical for a company of any size, particularly during times of crisis. The FDA has demonstrated vital regulatory flexibility during the COVID-19 global pandemic while continuing FDA initiatives such as leveraging the voice of the patient in regulatory decision making, utilizing real world evidence, and evolving policies surrounding cell and gene therapies. Successful teams continuously review legislative and regulatory changes to determine areas of focus for the FDA, to realize potential opportunities, assess how their company might be impacted, and ultimately develop and implement strategies to achieve success.
