The 505(b)(2) NDA pathway can reduce drug development costs and accelerate the time to market by leveraging existing public data using clinical bridging and regulatory strategies. Whether or not a drug qualifies for the 505(b)(2) pathway depends on the active ingredient, drug formulation, clinical indication and other factors. Clinical programs can be streamlined and accelerated, and confer unique marketing benefits, such as exclusivity, depending on the regulatory strategy and product. Considerations for chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) and the unique manufacturing issues that can arise owing to the accelerated development of 505(b)(2) drug products are also discussed.

Repurposing generic drugs as new treatments for life-threatening diseases such as cancer is an exciting yet largely overlooked opportunity due to a lack of market-driven incentives. Nonprofit organizations and other non-manufacturers have been ramping up efforts to repurpose widely available generic drugs and rapidly expand affordable treatment options for patients. However, these non-manufacturers find it difficult to obtain regulatory approval in the U.

Background: Insulin is the primary treatment for type 1 and some type 2 diabetes but remains costly in the United States, even though it was discovered more than a century ago. High prices can lead to nonadherence and are often sustained by patents and regulatory exclusivities that limit competition on brand-name products. We sought to examine how manufacturers have used patents and regulatory exclusivities on insulin products approved from 1986 to 2019 to extend periods of market exclusivity.

A 505(b)(2) application is a type of US new drug application (NDA) that contains full reports of investigations of safety and effectiveness, but where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference. Most 505(b)(2) applications consist of changes to a previously approved drug product (ie, a new dosage form, new routes of administration, etc). Sponsors often face challenges determining the studies to be conducted to support approval via 505(b)(2) pathway.

Background: Annual review statistics released by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a number of studies indicate that the review process improvements introduced under various versions of the Prescription Drug Use Fee Act (PDUFA) have been successful in decreasing average times for marketing approval of new molecular entities (NMEs). Similar statistics are not available, however, for non-NME new drug applications. These application types, such as those covered under section 505(b)(2) of the Food and Drug and Cosmetic Act, represent more than half of all new drug application (NDA) submissions annually and they are primarily based on previously approved drugs.
