Each month, members of the Program On Regulation, Therapeutics, And Law (PORTAL) review the peer-reviewed medical literature to identify interesting empirical studies, in-depth analyses, and thoughtful editorials on pharmaceutical law and policy.
Below are the papers identified from the month of December. The selections feature topics ranging from the timing of extensions in drug indications, to the FDA’s efforts to engage patients across the spectrum of medical product development, to the impact of medical schools’ industry interaction policies on resident behavior. A full posting of abstracts/summaries of these articles may be found on our website.
