US FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf has said: “A successful FDA is a critical factor for better public health in this changing world. ...we need to give consumers and patients even more confidence that their food is safe and their medical products are safe and effective.” Since our Eastern Asia population is equivalent to 21.62% of the total world population (and five times America’s), East Asia Regulatory Authorities have an even higher mission to provide people with more confidence in their environment and in safe, efficacious and convenient treatments to alleviate their suffering from disease. In this session, regulatory authorities from PMDA, CFDA, MFDS and TFDA will provide highly-anticipated updates from their respective regulatory environments, and inform industry how to work closely with regulatory authorities to accelerate the review and approval process and approval for new, innovative medicines which can bring great benefit and hope to patients and their families.
