Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XI of the Social Security Act to protect access to genetically targeted technologies.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Social Security Act to protect access to genetically targeted technologies by modifying the definition of a "qualifying single source drug." Specifically, the bill extends the period of market exclusivity from 7 to 11 years for "advanced drug products" that use genetically targeted technologies. An advanced drug product is defined as a drug that incorporates technology capable of modifying gene function, such as suppressing, up-regulating, or activating a gene or its associated gene product. This change aims to provide longer market protection for innovative drugs that use advanced genetic technologies, potentially incentivizing pharmaceutical research and development in this emerging field of medicine. The bill seeks to support continued investment in cutting-edge genetic therapies by giving drug developers a longer period of market exclusivity before generic competitors can enter the market.
