August 20, 2009

FDA announced 6 steps to improve enforcement with implementation to begin in September 2009 The downside for the pharmaceutical industry is the need to ensure that deadlines for responding to regulatory issues are met within established guidance. The upside likely resides in outside contract firms (problem solving consultants, CROs and the like) who will be hired to ensure timelines are met.   Not yet specified, but a likely target for action will be post-marketing commitments.
