The U.S. FDA named the first nine recipients of the recently unveiled commissioner’s national priority voucher (CNPV) program aimed at addressing unmet public health needs by shortening regulatory review times to as little as one to two months. For one of those firms, Disc Medicine Inc., which submitted an NDA for bitopertin for rare genetic disorder erythropoietic protoporphyria in September, that could mean a potential approval before the end of 2025.
On the same day that FDA Commissioner Martin Makary spoke in a fireside chat during the 2025 Biotechnology Innovation Organization’s International Convention, the agency unveiled a pilot commissioner’s national priority voucher program that will enable companies to receive a shortened FDA review time of one to two months.
