FDA to Create New Drug Shortage Task Force

July 13, 2018

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the agency will form a new drug shortage task force to seek solutions to the ongoing drug shortages.

The task force will be led by Keagan Lenihan, FDA’s associate commissioner for strategic initiatives, and it will expand upon the work of a group formed by the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act of 2012 (FDASIA).

The new initiative comes after what the agency called “a challenging year” in its latest annual report to Congress on drug shortages.
