Gottlieb At FDA: Industry Will Look For User-Fee Deal Support, Restrained Regulations
Executive Summary
After months of waiting on whether President Trump would pick a conventional FDA commissioner candidate or go off the beaten path, the White House appears to be taking the former approach. Trump is expected to nominate Scott Gottlieb, a George W. Bush administration FDA alum, physician and long-time conservative voice on health policy. Gottlieb will favor reduced regulatory burdens, and industry hopes he will help push forward a device user-fee reauthorization agreement.
