About Fast Track Designation
Fast Track Designation is an FDA process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review of, medicines to treat serious conditions and fill unmet medical need. The FDA created this process to help deliver important new drugs to patients earlier, and it covers a broad range of serious illnesses. Fast Track Designation can lead to an Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, if certain criteria are met.
