3-Hour Virtual Seminar on FDA's section 804 Drug and 801(d)(1)(B) Biologic Importation Programs

Overview:

This presentation outlines the two proposed pathways through which HHS and FDA will allow for the importation of certain drugs originally intended for non-US markets.

Notably, both pathways rely on parties other than the federal government-such as states, wholesalers, pharmacists, and manufacturers-to demonstrate that eligible drugs can be imported into the US safely and with the required cost savings.

Why you should Attend: Some prescription drug products are priced much higher in the U.S. than abroad, raising questions about the adequacy of competition in U.S. markets for these drugs and whether new policy approaches, such as importation under section 804, might effectively limit prices in those markets and protect consumers from unreasonable price increases.

FDA has determined that a narrow implementation of section 804 through time-limited programs, overseen by states or certain other government entities (with possible co-sponsorship by a wholesaler or pharmacist), could enable importation to occur in a manner consistent with the certification criteria.

This implementation could potentially provide relief to some American consumers from the burden of rising prescription drug prices.
