A record number of generic drugs have been approved this year.

In August the FDA approved the first generic drug, potassium chloride oral solution, under a new approval pathway created to expedite the development and review of a generic sole source drug.

With the new expediting process, Commissioner Gottlieb believes that record highs will be achieved year on year.

In 90 fast-paced minutes attorneys Chad Landmon and Suchira Ghosh of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP will methodically lay out the various policies, how they've been implemented, how generic drug manufacturers can engage with them and identify possible issues. Attendees will learn the following: 

    --  The new pathways to expedite approval of generic drug applications,
        including 180-day exclusivity
    --  Best practices to obtain exclusivity and the top don'ts for losing
        exclusivity
    --  Recent FDA policy statements and guidance on generic drugs and their
        impact on regulatory and quality professionals
    --  Substantive changes to REMS standards that impact ANDAs
    --  FDA's other policy initiatives: prioritizing generic drug review; spur
        generic approvals to increase competition and lower cost, while
        maintaining quality
    --  How the real cost saving benefit provided by generics doesn't come into
        full effect until there are multiple generic versions available
