21st century schizoid bill:
Scott Whitaker, president and chief executive of the Advanced Medical Technology Association, a trade group for device makers, hailed the bill for creating “an expedited pathway for breakthrough medical technologies – those that offer the best hope for patients with life-threatening diseases” and few treatment options. In reviewing new devices, the bill says, the F.D.A. shall consider the “least burdensome” means of showing their safety.
In considering whether to approve new drugs or new uses for medications, the bill says, the F.D.A. shall pay more attention to “patient experience data” showing the impact of a disease or treatment on patients’ lives, and their treatment preferences.
Das' mooi. Levert wel wat slachtoffers op, schat ik zo in, maar goed, alles voor de wetenschap nietwaar.
Maar hoe?
“While the bill authorizes $4.8 billion to the N.I.H. over the next 10 years — on average, a mere $480 million a year — this is barely a quarter per year of what the House passed last year,” Ms. DeLauro said. “There is also no guarantee that the appropriators will follow through and provide funding each year.”
Ai, 450 miljoen. Budget is 31 miljard. Per jaar. Da's niet echt een klapper. En elk jaar gaan ze d'r weer over praten. Tja. We'll see. De industrie is er blij mee. En dat geeft te denken. Mooi voor beleggers, hopelijk mooi voor patienten.
Een bizonder goedenmorgen overigens.
