FDA puts pe­di­atric aGVHD drug on pri­or­i­ty re­view lane — will they go vir­tu­al with the ad­comm?

De­spite wor­ries about reg­u­la­to­ry de­lays due to new work arrange­ments un­der Covid-19, the FDA ap­pears in­tent to go full speed ahead with its every­day work, not on­ly grant­i­ng pri­or­i­ty re­view to a stem cell ther­a­py for acute graft ver­sus host dis­ease but al­so plot­ting an ad­vi­so­ry com­mit­tee meet­ing for it.
