Webinar for Policymakers

The final installment of our three-part webinar series focuses on antibiotic development and invites expert speakers to consider how the regulatory process impacts investment in antibiotic development and commercialization. Speakers will discuss strategies to improve clinical trials for antibiotics, the impact of international regulatory harmonization, and how real-world evidence might augment the regulatory review and clinical success of novel antibiotics. Specifically, speakers will explore:

  • Challenges associated with clinical trials for antibiotics, including: 
    • Conducting robust clinical trials among small patient populations (such as those with rare drug-resistant infections);
    • Achieving adequate and meaningful clinical trial enrollment; and
    • Advancing evidence of patient outcomes;
  • Strategies to incentivize clinical trials among geographies beyond the U.S. where antibiotic resistance patterns are different or result in a higher burden of disease;
  • The impact of the regulatory pathway on developing antibiotics for unmet needs; and
  • How advancing international harmonization for bacterial infection indications might mitigate developmental barriers.

RELATED REPORT | Bolstering Public Health Preparedness by Investing in Post-Market Incentives for Novel Antibiotics

Durg-resistant infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threaten global public health, and access to innovative, novel antibiotics is critical to prepare for future health emergencies. On October 23, 2023, Duke-Margolis published “Bolstering Public Health Preparedness by Investing in Post-Market Incentives for Novel Antibiotics” to describe opportunities for policymakers to establish pull incentives for novel antibiotics that advance public health preparedness and the bioindustrial base.
