Pandemic Flu Products to Get Special Regulatory Treatment

March 16, 2009
Sponsors of experimental drugs and vaccines for pandemic influenza should be prepared for special attention from the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), the agencies say. Drugs that treat seasonal influenza may not be as effective against pandemic flu, so trials of flu drugs to treat a pandemic should be conducted differently, according to an FDA draft guidance. Comments are due May 21.
