Dr. Antonella Chadha Santuccione from the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products gives a regulator’s view on how (besides a fast-track line), an early dialogue with Authorities, combined with adequate, and agreed upon preclinical work and measures to ensure the safety and interest of the patient, is the best way forward to cut the drug development time and save costs.
