Policy
Regulation
Background
The development of personalized medicine requires that regulatory bodies adopt some new approaches to product approval. This will entail new guidance about the processes for obtaining approval to commercialize new therapeutics, including when and under what circumstances the use of a new drug must be preceded and/or accompanied by the use of a diagnostic or screening test. These critical regulatory processes influence many stakeholder groups and require a high-level of engagement from conception through implementation.
The Coalition has been and remains committed to improving regulatory frameworks so that personalized medicine can advance.
