Regulatory, industry and patient perspectives will be shared and approaches proposed that are realistic based upon needs of patients and scientific rigor necessary. Additionally, for drugs approved where there were significant differences of opinion, regulatory, industry, and patient perspectives will be shared on experience of these marketed products post-approval and whether post-marketing studies supported the treatment to be efficacious and safe.
