The Panels
Addressing Hurdles in Therapeutic Innovation
As companies attempt to bring new therapies to the market, they face an increasingly hostile environment. This panel will discuss how companies bring scientific innovations from early stages to approval. The discussion will focus on R&D challenges; the risk & reward of investing in the process, and the interaction with the FDA.
Facing New Reimbursement Challenges
Regulatory challenges do not stop at the point of FDA approval. This panel will address the challenges of working with reimbursement channels and the marketing hurdles that must be overcome once the therapy is approved.
