This month’s pharma feature examines two new draft guidances from the FDA covering BIMO inspections. These guidances aim to streamline the data required for biologic or new drug submission applications and aid in the review and inspection process. We discuss the key changes and provide recommendations for sites to prepare for potential inspections.

In our device/medtech feature, we unpack the FDA's new white paper on artificial intelligence in medical products. The paper outlines how CBER, CDER, CDRH, and OCP are collaborating to safeguard public health while fostering responsible AI innovation.
