Make every FDA interaction count

FDA meetings are pivotal moments that can accelerate or derail drug development programs. Whether Type A crisis management, Type B milestone meetings, or Type C guidance sessions, these interactions shape regulatory strategy, define development requirements, and influence approval timelines. Yet many sponsors enter underprepared, waste valuable face time, or leave without clear agreements.

Successful FDA meetings require more than technical knowledge. You need strategic positioning, compelling narratives, and skilled negotiation that balances scientific rigor with regulatory flexibility. Understanding the FDA's perspective, anticipating concerns, and presenting solutions that work for both parties transforms meetings from confrontations into collaborations.

Our FDA meeting specialists include former FDA officials who've sat on both sides of the table. We know how the FDA prepares, what influences their positions, and how to achieve favorable outcomes while maintaining positive relationships.
