Bill Summary
21st Century Tools for Pain and Addiction Treatment Act
AI Summary
This bill, the 21st Century Tools for Pain and Addiction Treatment Act, requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to hold public meetings to address the challenges and barriers to developing non-addictive medical products (drugs, biological products, or devices) intended to treat pain or addiction. The bill also requires the Secretary to issue guidance documents to help address these challenges, including information on how the FDA may apply expedited approval pathways to non-opioid or non-addictive medical products for pain or addiction treatment, how the FDA considers the risk of addiction and pain management in assessing unmet medical need, and the methods sponsors may use to evaluate pain and demonstrate efficacy for non-addictive products.
