That sort of stance might be problematic for the industry. While Epstein Becker & Green’s Bradley Merrill Thompson doesn’t know the details of the specific requests FDA made, he’s concerned that this might be a trend. “While I have no inside information on what happened, of late I've been hearing many sponsors of combination products express concerns that human factors experts within the agency — at CDRH and CDER — are not on the same page,” he told your correspondent.
