Standards for Future Opioid Analgesic Approvals and Incentives for New Therapeutics to Treat Pain and Addiction; Public Hearing
September 17, 2019
- Date:
- September 17, 2019
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, we) is holding a public hearing on September 17, 2019 entitled, “Standards for Future Opioid Analgesic Approvals and Incentives for New Therapeutics to Treat Pain and Addiction.” The Agency issued the draft guidance (see Opioid Analgesic Drugs: Considerations for Benefit Risk Assessment Framework) on the application of FDA’s existing benefit-risk assessment framework to applications for approval of opioid analgesic drugs. This public hearing is intended to receive stakeholder input on the approval process for new opioids and how FDA might best consider the existing armamentarium of therapies, among other factors, in reviewing applications for new opioids to treat pain. FDA also seeks input on potential new pre-approval incentives aimed at fostering the development of new therapeutics to treat pain, as well as new treatments for addiction.
The meeting will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at:
FDA White Oak Campus
10903 New Hampshire Avenue
Building 31 Conference Center, Great Room B/C
