Ropes & Gray Podcasts

This edition of Ropes & Gray’s podcast series, Non-binding Guidance, focuses on one of the most fundamental concepts in FDA regulatory law: intended use. On August 2, FDA issued a final rule amending its drug and medical device regulations describing the types of evidence the Agency considers relevant to determining a product’s “intended use.” The new regulations just took effect on September 1. Join Kellie Combs, a partner in Ropes & Gray’s life sciences regulatory and compliance practice, Doug Hallward-Driemeier, a partner in the litigation & enforcement practice and head of the firm’s appellate & Supreme Court practice, and Josh Oyster, a senior associate in the life sciences regulatory and compliance practice group, as they discuss this final rule and what its implementation means for the drug and medical device industry.
