The FDA’s “Breakthrough Therapy Designation” was created
On Jul. 9, 2012, the FDA created the “Breakthrough Therapy Designation” that expedites development and review of drugs that are intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases, and for which preliminary clinical evidence indicates the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints.
Drugs that receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation may benefit from involvement of FDA senior managers in the review process, potential rolling submission and/or Priority Review of a sponsorメs New Drug Application, and other benefits.
