Karthik Musunuri, a Pennsylvania-based biotech entrepreneur, met with senior FDA officials yesterday to discuss all things related to speeding up the early processes around starting clinical trials, potentially allowing the US to be more competitive with China and Australia when it comes to Phase 1 trials. He noted that the agency is focused on potentially shifting its data standard requirements to make them easier, and potentially allowing toxicology studies to rely on one species of animal, rather than the current requirement of two. "They are still concerned on China - how to maybe make this pathway only eligible for American companies somehow so it’s not inundated with foreign sponsors," he added.
