Daniel Orr Writes on FDA Implementation of Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act for Food and Drug Law Institute
Sep 14 2018
Womble Bond Dickinson attorney Daniel Orr has written a new article on the FDA’s latest biologics hearing for the Food and Drug Law Institute. Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP attorney Brett Garrison edited the article.
Orr writes, “A recent FDA hearing sought to capitalize on the agency’s recent Biosimilars Action Plan, and continued a series of hearings about implementation of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCI Act). FDA continues to grapple with many of the same problems such as interchangeability, naming, exclusivity, and transparency that it has since the statute was enacted. But with 12 approved biosimilars behind it and a reported 68 more in development, the agency can also be proud of its progress.”
