A bill to provide for the use of emergency use authorization data and real world evidence gathered during an emergency to support premarket applications for drugs, biological products, and devices, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill establishes that certain data and determinations from a request for emergency use authorization for a drug, biological product, or medical device may apply to later regulatory procedures for that product. Specifically, data generated to support a request for emergency use authorization may constitute valid scientific evidence to be considered for various later submissions to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including a request for market approval. Also, when granting emergency use authorization for a medical device, if the FDA determines that the device performs certain simple low-risk examinations, that determination shall apply to certain other regulatory submissions unless additional information contradicts that determination.
