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.
