The patient voice in generic medicine development
The US public benefits from reduced costs and improved access to treatment enabled by availability of generics drug products. Patients offer a unique perspective when advocating for accessibility to high-quality and affordable generics. As critical stakeholders, it is important that the FDA Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) captures patient perspectives, needs, and priorities to help better inform patients. This session will explore the role of patients in generic drug development, OGD’s patient engagement sessions to date and the opportunities that can be used to improve patient engagement.
