The final version states eligible submissions must demonstrate significant benefits over available treatment options; must not require an advisory committee meeting or new Risk Evaluation and Medication Strategy; and must include clinical trial end points that are “easily interpreted.” 

The final version is not significantly different from the drafted guidelines posted July 22, 2022, according to a Nov. 7 report from Regulatory Focus. The final rule clarifies some terminologies, clarifies the eligibility and submission process, and aligns the guidance with the real-time oncology review website. It also rejected calls to expand the guidance to cover cell and gene therapies.

At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
