successfully completed five Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pre-IND meetings for 505(b)(2) products in the month of June, including successful meetings with two of top 10 largest pharmaceutical companies.
In all meetings, the FDA concurred with Camargo’s recommended strategy, giving clients a clear drug development pathway with costs and timing.

In 2006, approximately 20 percent of new drugs were approved through the 505(b)(2) process. Today, the percentage of new, small-molecule drugs approved through this process exceeds 80 percent.

Drugs approved under 505(b)(2) rely in part on data from existing drugs; therefore, the drugs can be developed and achieve FDA approval in as little as 30 months with only a fraction of the number of required trials and at a much lower cost.
