Ep. 262 - EGFR Case Study, FDA & Politics
Twenty years of innovation in therapies targeting EGFR provides a case study in how generation of differentiated products against the target can drive market growth. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss EGFR as a prime example of the value in best-in-class development strategies, with meaningful improvements across multiple modalities delivering substantial therapeutic benefits to patients. Analogous best-in-class opportunities aren’t limited to cancer, but are also playing out in other settings such as immunology.
The editors then discuss a recent event that hosted FDA commissioner Rob Califf and four former commissioners, all of whom agreed a major role of the FDA commissioner is to protect the agency from political interference.
Washington Editor Steve Usdin also previews his conversation with FDA’s Richard Pazdur, and Editor in Chief Simone Fishburn details takeaways from her Q&A with James Sabry, who recently became CBO at BioMarin Pharmaceutical.
