                shall be conducted and published by the end of fiscal 
                year 2013 (to examine the performance of the adjustment 
                since fiscal year 2009), and the second review shall be

                workload volume and complexity and present options to 
                discontinue, retain, or modify any elements of the 
                adjustment. The reports shall be published for public 
                comment. After review of the reports and receipt of 
                public comments, the Secretary shall, if warranted, 
                adopt appropriate changes to the methodology. If the

                the first report, the changes shall be effective for 
                the first fiscal year for which fees are set after the

        and paragraphs (1) and (2), further increase the fee revenues 
        and fees established in subsection (b) if such an adjustment is 
        necessary to provide for not more than 3 months of operating 
        reserves of carryover user fees for the process for the review 
        of human drug applications for the first 3 months of fiscal 
        year 2018. If such an adjustment is necessary, the rationale 
        for the amount of the increase shall be contained in the annual 
        notice establishing fee revenues and fees for fiscal year 2017. 
        If the Secretary has carryover balances for such process in 
        excess of 3 months of such operating reserves, the adjustment

               TITLE IX--DRUG APPROVAL AND PATIENT ACCESS

SEC. 901. ENHANCEMENT OF ACCELERATED PATIENT ACCESS TO NEW MEDICAL 
              TREATMENTS.

    (a) Findings; Sense of Congress.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
                    (A) The Food and Drug Administration (referred to 
                in this section as the ``FDA'') serves a critical role 
                in helping to assure that new medicines are safe and 
                effective. Regulatory innovation is 1 element of the 
                Nation's strategy to address serious and life-
                threatening diseases or conditions by promoting 
                investment in and development of innovative treatments 
                for unmet medical needs.
                    (B) During the 2 decades following the 
                establishment of the accelerated approval mechanism, 
                advances in medical sciences, including genomics, 
                molecular biology, and bioinformatics, have provided an 
                unprecedented understanding of the underlying 
                biological mechanism and pathogenesis of disease. A new 
                generation of modern, targeted medicines is under 
                development to treat serious and life-threatening 
                diseases, some applying drug development strategies 
                based on biomarkers or pharmacogenomics, predictive 
                toxicology, clinical trial enrichment techniques, and 
                novel clinical trial designs, such as adaptive clinical 
                trials.
                    (C) As a result of these remarkable scientific and 
                medical advances, the FDA should be encouraged to 
                implement more broadly effective processes for the 
                expedited development and review of innovative new 
                medicines intended to address unmet medical needs for 
                serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions, 
                including those for rare diseases or conditions, using 
                a broad range of surrogate or clinical endpoints and 
                modern scientific tools earlier in the drug development 
                cycle when appropriate. This may result in fewer, 
                smaller, or shorter clinical trials for the intended 
                patient population or targeted subpopulation without 
                compromising or altering the high standards of the FDA 
                for the approval of drugs.
                    (D) Patients benefit from expedited access to safe 
                and effective innovative therapies to treat unmet 
                medical needs for serious or life-threatening diseases 
                or conditions.
                    (E) For these reasons, the statutory authority in 
                effect on the day before the date of enactment of this 
                Act governing expedited approval of drugs for serious 
                or life-threatening diseases or conditions should be 
                amended in order to enhance the authority of the FDA to 
                consider appropriate scientific data, methods, and 
                tools, and to expedite development and access to novel 
                treatments for patients with a broad range of serious 
                or life-threatening diseases or conditions.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        the Food and Drug Administration should apply the accelerated 
        approval and fast track provisions set forth in section 506 of 
        the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 356), as 
        amended by this section, to help expedite the development and 
        availability to patients of treatments for serious or life-
        threatening diseases or conditions while maintaining safety and 
        effectiveness standards for such treatments.
    (b) Expedited Approval of Drugs for Serious or Life-Threatening 
Diseases or Conditions.--Section 506 (21 U.S.C. 356) is amended to read 
as follows:

``SEC. 506. EXPEDITED APPROVAL OF DRUGS FOR SERIOUS OR LIFE-THREATENING 
              DISEASES OR CONDITIONS.

    ``(a) Designation of Drug as Fast Track Product.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall, at the request of 
        the sponsor of a new drug, facilitate the development and 
        expedite the review of such drug if it is intended, whether 
        alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, for the 
        treatment of a serious or life-threatening disease or 
        condition, and it demonstrates the potential to address unmet 
        medical needs for such a disease or condition. (In this 
        section, such a drug is referred to as a `fast track product'.)
            ``(2) Request for designation.--The sponsor of a new drug 
        may request the Secretary to designate the drug as a fast track 
        product. A request for the designation may be made concurrently 
        with, or at any time after, submission of an application for 
        the investigation of the drug under section 505(i) or section 
        351(a)(3) of the Public Health Service Act.
            ``(3) Designation.--Within 60 calendar days after the 
        receipt of a request under paragraph (2), the Secretary shall 
        determine whether the drug that is the subject of the request 
        meets the criteria described in paragraph (1). If the Secretary 
        finds that the drug meets the criteria, the Secretary shall 
        designate the drug as a fast track product and shall take such 
        actions as are appropriate to expedite the development and 
        review of the application for approval of such product.
    ``(b) Accelerated Approval of a Drug for a Serious or Life-
Threatening Disease or Condition, Including a Fast Track Product.--
            ``(1) In general.--
                    ``(A) Accelerated approval.--The Secretary may 
                approve an application for approval of a product for a 
                serious or life-threatening disease or condition, 
                including a fast track product, under section 505(c) or 
                section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act upon a 
                determination that the product has an effect on a 
                surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict 
                clinical benefit, or on a clinical endpoint that can be 
                measured earlier than irreversible morbidity or 
                mortality, that is reasonably likely to predict an 
                effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other 
                clinical benefit, taking into account the severity, 
                rarity, or prevalence of the condition and the 
                availability or lack of alternative treatments. The 
                approval described in the preceding sentence is 
                referred to in this section as `accelerated approval'.
                    ``(B) Evidence.--The evidence to support that an 
                endpoint is reasonably likely to predict clinical 
                benefit under subparagraph (A) may include 
                epidemiological, pathophysiological, therapeutic, 
                pharmacologic, or other evidence developed using 
                biomarkers, for example, or other scientific methods or 
                tools.
            ``(2) Limitation.--Approval of a product under this 
        subsection may be subject to 1 or both of the following 
        requirements:
                    ``(A) That the sponsor conduct appropriate post-
                approval studies to verify and describe the predicted 
                effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other 
                clinical benefit.
                    ``(B) That the sponsor submit copies of all 
                promotional materials related to the product during the 
                preapproval review period and, following approval and 
                for such period thereafter as the Secretary determines 
                to be appropriate, at least 30 days prior to 
                dissemination of the materials.
            ``(3) Expedited withdrawal of approval.--The Secretary may 
        withdraw approval of a product approved under accelerated 
        approval using expedited procedures (as prescribed by the 
        Secretary in regulations which shall include an opportunity for 
        an informal hearing) if--
                    ``(A) the sponsor fails to conduct any required 
                post-approval study of the drug with due diligence;
                    ``(B) a study required to verify and describe the 
                predicted effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality 
                or other clinical benefit of the product fails to 
                verify and describe such effect or benefit;
                    ``(C) other evidence demonstrates that the product 
                is not safe or effective under the conditions of use; 
                or
                    ``(D) the sponsor disseminates false or misleading 
                promotional materials with respect to the product.
    ``(c) Review of Incomplete Applications for Approval of a Fast 
Track Product.--
            ``(1) In general.--If the Secretary determines, after 
        preliminary evaluation of clinical data submitted by the 
        sponsor, that a fast track product may be effective, the 
        Secretary shall evaluate for filing, and may commence review of 
        portions of, an application for the approval of the product 
        before the sponsor submits a complete application. The 
        Secretary shall commence such review only if the applicant--
                    ``(A) provides a schedule for submission of 
                information necessary to make the application complete; 
                and
                    ``(B) pays any fee that may be required under 
                section 736.
            ``(2) Exception.--Any time period for review of human drug 
        applications that has been agreed to by the Secretary and that 
        has been set forth in goals identified in letters of the 
        Secretary (relating to the use of fees collected under section 
        736 to expedite the drug development process and the review of 
        human drug applications) shall not apply to an application 
        submitted under paragraph (1) until the date on which the 
        application is complete.
    ``(d) Awareness Efforts.--The Secretary shall--
            ``(1) develop and disseminate to physicians, patient 
        organizations, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and 
        other appropriate persons a description of the provisions of 
        this section applicable to accelerated approval and fast track 
        products; and
            ``(2) establish a program to encourage the development of 
        surrogate and clinical endpoints, including biomarkers, and 
        other scientific methods and tools that can assist the 
        Secretary in determining whether the evidence submitted in an 
        application is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit 
        for serious or life-threatening conditions for which 
        significant unmet medical needs exist.
    ``(e) Construction.--
            ``(1) Purpose.--The amendments made by the Food and Drug 
        Administration Safety and Innovation Act to this section are 
        intended to encourage the Secretary to utilize innovative and 
        flexible approaches to the assessment of products under 
        accelerated approval for treatments for patients with serious 
        or life-threatening diseases or conditions and unmet medical 
        needs.
            ``(2) Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
        construed to alter the standards of evidence under subsection 
        (c) or (d) of section 505 (including the substantial evidence 
        standard in section 505(d)) of this Act or under section 351(a) 
        of the Public Health Service Act. Such sections and standards 
        of evidence apply to the review and approval of products under 
        this section, including whether a product is safe and 
        effective. Nothing in this section alters the ability of the 
        Secretary to rely on evidence that does not come from adequate 
        and well-controlled investigations for the purpose of 
        determining whether an endpoint is reasonably likely to predict 
        clinical benefit as described in subsection (b)(1)(B).''.
    (c) Guidance; Amended Regulations.--
            (1) Draft guidance.--Not later than 1 year after the date 
        of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human 
        Services (referred to in this section as the ``Secretary'') 
        shall issue draft guidance to implement the amendments made by 
        this section. In developing such guidance, the Secretary shall 
        specifically consider issues arising under the accelerated 
        approval and fast track processes under section 506 of the 
        Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by subsection 
        (b), for drugs designated for a rare disease or condition under 
        section 526 of such Act (21 U.S.C. 360bb) and shall also 
        consider any unique issues associated with very rare diseases.
            (2) Final guidance.--Not later than 1 year after the 
        issuance of draft guidance under paragraph (1), and after an 
        opportunity for public comment, the Secretary shall issue final 
        guidance.
            (3) Conforming changes.--The Secretary shall issue, as 
        necessary, conforming amendments to the applicable regulations 
        under title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, governing 
        accelerated approval.
            (4) No effect of inaction on requests.--If the Secretary 
        fails to issue final guidance or amended regulations as 
        required by this subsection, such failure shall not preclude 
        the review of, or action on, a request for designation or an 
        application for approval submitted pursuant to section 506 of 
        the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by 
        subsection (b).
    (d) Independent Review.--The Secretary may, in conjunction with 
other planned reviews, contract with an independent entity with 
expertise in assessing the quality and efficiency of biopharmaceutical 
development and regulatory review programs to evaluate the Food and 
Drug Administration's application of the processes described in section 
506 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by 
subsection (b), and the impact of such processes on the development and 
timely availability of innovative treatments for patients suffering 
from serious or life-threatening conditions. Any such evaluation shall 
include consultation with regulated industries, patient advocacy and 
disease research foundations, and relevant academic medical centers.

SEC. 902. BREAKTHROUGH THERAPIES.

    (a) In General.--Section 506 (21 U.S.C. 356), as amended by section 
901, is further amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsections (a) through (c) as 
        subsections (b) through (d), respectively;
            (2) by redesignating subsection (d) as subsection (f);
            (3) by inserting before subsection (b), as so redesignated, 
        the following:
    ``(a) Designation of a Drug as a Breakthrough Therapy.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary shall, at the request of 
        the sponsor of a drug, expedite the development and review of 
        such drug if the drug is intended, alone or in combination with 
        1 or more other drugs, to treat a serious or life-threatening 
        disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence 
        indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement 
        over existing therapies on 1 or more clinically significant 
        endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early 
        in clinical development. (In this section, such a drug is 
        referred to as a `breakthrough therapy'.)
            ``(2) Request for designation.--The sponsor of a drug may 
        request the Secretary to designate the drug as a breakthrough 
        therapy. A request for the designation may be made concurrently 
        with, or at any time after, the submission of an application 
        for the investigation of the drug under section 505(i) or 
        section 351(a)(3) of the Public Health Service Act.

        shall model at least 3 separate segments on the medical 
        technologies market as candidate targets for the new incentive 
        system and consider different medical innovation inducement 
        prize design issues, including the challenges presented in the 
        implementation of prizes for end products, open source dividend 
        prizes, and prizes for upstream research.
            (2) Market segments.--The segments on the medical 
        technologies market that shall be considered under paragraph 
        (1) include--
                    (A) all pharmaceutical and biologic drugs and

    (c) Elements.--The study conducted under subsection (a) shall 
include consideration of each of the following:
            (1) Whether a system of large innovation inducement prizes 
        could work as a replacement for the existing product monopoly/
        patent-based system, as in effect on the date of enactment of 
        this Act.
            (2) How large the innovation prize funds would have to be 
        in order to induce at least as much research and development 
        investment in innovation as is induced under the current system 
        of time-limited market exclusivity, as in effect on the date of 
        enactment of this Act.
            (3) Whether a system of large innovation inducement prizes 
        would be more or less expensive than the current system of 
        time-limited market exclusivity, as in effect on the date of 
        enactment of this Act, calculated over different time periods.
            (4) Whether a system of large innovation inducement prizes 
        would expand access to new products and improve health 
        outcomes.
            (5) The type of information and decisionmaking skills that 
        would be necessary to manage end product prizes.
            (6) Whether there would there be major advantages in 
        rewarding the incremental impact of innovations, as benchmarked 
        against existing products.
            (7) How open-source dividend prizes could be managed, and 
        whether such prizes would increase access to knowledge, 
        materials, data and technologies.
            (8) Whether a system of competitive intermediaries for 
        interim research prizes would provide an acceptable solution to 
        the valuation challenges for interim prizes.
