Psychedelic drug development is experiencing intense and renewed interest from the pharmaceutical industry, and the potential for these therapies to target areas of urgent unmet need. Opportunities exist for prepared sponsors to take advantage of expedited approval pathways and reach the market ahead of the competition. 

With our extensive knowledge of expedited programs, psychedelics, and psychiatric indications, we can help clinical trial sponsors gain new drug approval by:

  • Achieving initial fast track and breakthrough designations
  • Leveraging designations to accelerate clinical development though early and effective health authority interactions
  • Preparing for the challenging timelines associated with Priority Review, rolling submissions, and Advisory Committees
  • Sharing industry best practices and submission experience
