Accelerated Approval Pathways: Manufacturers Left to Grapple With Risk Versus Reward

Oncology and hematology are extremely complex, crowded and chaotic therapeutic areas. With 30% of drug approvals by the FDA occurring in the oncology and hematology space, manufacturers of these high-science brands are often faced with unprecedented pressure to accelerate their speed to market to make a positive clinical impact on patients and the industry. To add an additional layer of complexity, manufacturers may opt to enter their product into a confirmatory trial, which allows the FDA to fast-track drug approvals in disease states where patients have little to no quality treatment options.  

Accelerated pathways pose two key challenges: 

  1. The FDA is becoming more stringent, leading to an increased likelihood of product withdrawals due to negative data. 
  2. Manufacturers do not have the proper infrastructure in place to bring a product to market and are tasked to build commercialization models and launch products at record speeds, which comes at a steep price.
