Post# of 72440
Under the FDA's 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, a drug's road to market approval can be significantly shortened and at much reduced costs. Often only one pivotal Phase 3 study, enrolling a smaller number of patients than is typical, may be required. As well, the drug is eligible for up to five years of market exclusivity post-approval.
