Authorized by the 21st Century Cures Act, the FDA’s Oncology Center of Excellent (OCE) is the first intra- center institute working across different functional areas of the agency. In the past two years, the OCE has launched more than 10 initiatives, ranging from promoting collaboration in cancer trial design and analysis to providing consistent review of safety signals across different drug classes. Among these diverse programs, several directly and immediately affect oncological drug development: Project Equity, Project Optimus, and Project Front Runner. Project Equity aims to enhance the diversity of clinical trial participants, while Project Optimus focuses on reframing the dose selection paradigm. Project Front Runner is part of an ongoing effort to reevaluate the accelerated approval pathway. It encourages sponsors to develop a comprehensive strategy to provide expedited access of innovative medicines to patients, while minimizing the period of uncertainty before clinical benefits of these therapeutics can be verified or refuted. Since approximately half of the approvals for cancer were through the accelerated pathway in the past decade, we are witnessing some of the most consequential changes in the oncological regulatory environment.
This webcast will provide an overview of these three programs and discuss their implications for oncological drug development. The goal is to help the audience better navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, which provides both challenges and opportunities.
