#154: Impact of Accelerated Pathways on Patients in Five Countries/Regions

Several global regulatory authorities have similar expedited pathways in which a regulatory approval can be granted that would fulfill an unmet medical need based on preliminary/early data from clinical studies. This session will use a recent Oncology case study comparing the different outcomes resulting from using these five different systems aiming to accelerate development and speed up availability of new treatments to patients. This will be followed by a panel with senior regulators and a patient representative to discuss the regulatory perspective and experience with accelerated approvals. The objective is to identify potential opportunities that could help to achieve more collaboration and equity of access for patients across multiple countries/regions.
