中国过去几年在大规模投资、庞大的人才库建设以及监管改革的加速推动下，生物技术生态体系蓬勃发 展，并迅速崛起为创新药强国。 他表示，美国在新药研究的一期临床试验方面受制于严格的流程，落后于中国。在2月18日发表在《新 英格兰医学杂志》（NEJM）上发表的一篇文章中，马卡里指出，FDA未来审批新药，只需要基于一项 关键临床试验，而不再需要沿用六十多年来的"双试验"的黄金标准。 自1960年代以来，FDA在审批新药时至少要求进行两项大规模、长周期的临床试验，以确认临床研究结 果并非偶然，具备可重复性。不过，过去五年来，FDA已经默认在一些肿瘤药及罕见病药物审批中采用 单项研究作为依据，约有60%的新药凭借单项临床研究获批。 马卡里在文章里算了一笔经济账。他表示，现在做新药研发，动辄烧掉十几亿美元，很大一部分砸在临 床试验上。FDA认为，单项试验能实质性降低药企的研发成本，这会带来药物开发的激增。 中国过去几年在大规模投资、庞大的人才库建设以及监管改革的加速推动下，生物技术生态体系蓬勃发 展，并迅速崛起为创新药强国。 摩根士丹利的数据显示，中国目前正在进行的临床试验比美国多，占全球新药批准的近三分之一。 相比之下，美 ...
