Updates to FDA's Processes and Their Impact on Medical Affairs Teams

Medical affairs teams must adapt to changing timelines and adjust their skillsets accordingly.

Pharmaceutical Companies' Reaction

According to Dr. William Soliman, pharmaceutical companies will likely react to the administration's efforts by compromising on prices for some branded drugs.

We’ve seen Pfizer doing a deal with Trump, and I think other companies will follow. If they can come to a compromise for even just some branded drugs, that’s a happy middle-ground.

Dr. Soliman believes that in exchange for dropping prices, pharmaceutical companies will push for the administration to push back tariffs, as seen in the Pfizer deal.

Timeline for Impact on Drug Pricing

Dr. Soliman notes that the impact on drug pricing will primarily be felt by elderly patients under Medicare, while the effect on those with commercial plans remains to be seen.
