Richard Pazdur took the top job at FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research after receiving vows that he would be leading CDER free from political interference.

Also featured in this week's episode: new funds from European VCs Medicxi and Sofinnova Partners, FDA’s new plausible mechanism pathway and the Trump administration’s “most favored nation” drug-pricing plan, which is turning out to be much more less onerous to drug companies than its original description suggested.
