TOPIC: 
The 21st Century Cures Act – An Overview

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: The 966-page 21st Century Cures Act (Public Law No 114-255) passed both houses of Congress by wide margins in late 2016 and was duly signed by outgoing President Obama in December 2016. The Cures Act has a bit of something for everybody – which in part explains its strong bi-partisan support. It includes funding to address the opioid crisis; an expedited pathway for “breakthrough” medical devices; clarifying FDA authority over medically-related software, patient-focused drug development and use of “real world evidence;” NIH funding, changes to the regulation of combination products; and promotion of access to mental health and substance abuse care to name a few. This presentation will provide an overview of key provisions of the Cures Act with emphasis on those provisions most affecting the development of drugs, biologics and devices, offer some insight into FDA work to implement the Cures Act, and consider the potential impact on the Cures Act of current congressional efforts to reform/repeal/replace the ACA.
