Description

One of the most impact incentives from the FDA is the Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD). It helps in getting the product/drug to market much faster than any other expedited approval pathway. The application processes for Breakthrough Therapy Designation need to request for special meetings with FDA to discuss the development steps, and become eligible for priority review. However, getting a BTD status is not simple. As per recent statistics there is about 70% rejection rate for applicants of BTD. The important factors that the FDA considers would include seriousness of the disease targeted and the product being developed. BTD request also requires significant resources from the applicant. Once a drug is successful in getting the BTD, the non-clinical and clinical requirements for market approval are significantly reduced and drug development is fast tracked.
