FDA Unveils Plausible Mechanism Framework to Accelerate Tailored Therapies for Ultra-Rare Diseases

TL;DR Summary
The FDA issued a draft guidance outlining a Plausible Mechanism Framework to accelerate approvals of genome-editing and RNA-based, individualized therapies that target the root causes of ultra-rare diseases, allowing smaller, robust studies and the use of master protocols. Sponsors must demonstrate the therapy addresses the specific disease mechanism, rely on well-characterized natural history data, and show target engagement or editing; public comments are due within 60 days.
