This session will compare recent hands-on experience with expedited regulatory pathways in EU and US (PRIME and Breakthrough Designation) both from the regulators’ and sponsor’s viewpoint. It will also include analysis of data comparing each program’s utilization and scope. A panel debate will be structured around statements that both panelists and the audience will be able to vote upon with the aim of inspiring honest discussion on the real benefits, drawbacks and future opportunities of these regulatory tools in the EU, US, and globally.

Learning Objectives

Describe Breakthrough Therapy and PRIME program aims, parameters, and regulatory agency experience in implementation; Discuss the sponsor perspectives on utilization of PRIME or Breakthrough Therapy pathways and how decisions about timing of engagement of FDA and EMA are made; Review utilization data of Breakthrough Therapy and PRIME pathways and concurrent and discordant decisions on sponsor applications for these designation.
