Webinar Alert: COVID-19 Aftershock Hits the FDA – Tectonic Shifts Lay Ahead

On Wednesday, July 1, join Potomac Law partner Dr. Jur Strobos for an in-depth discussion with a former FDA official and clinical trial investigator regarding the likely structural changes to come at the FDA and their implications for regulatory processes.

1. Resource reallocation at the FDA – Infectious Disease is back (it really never left) and its here to stay for FDA, but what’s left for non-Infectious Disease companies?
2. Potential reorganization of the FDA – As we head into November, how will the medical need, the funds and the politics factor into structural changes at the FDA?
3. New models for drug development – Hospital systems have the monopoly on clinical trials and drug development, but is that about to change?
4. Implications on development timelines and trial design for established and emerging biotech companies – How could regulatory flexibility spread to non-Infectious Disease indications?
