As a result of the GAIN Act, legislation authored by Rep. Phil Gingrey, M.D., the FDA this week conferred special status to the drug dalbavancin. GAIN Act aims to spur development of new drugs to treat the growing number of “superbugs.” It ...also streamlines and fast-tracks the FDA review process, ensuring patients have access to life-saving treatments.See More
Dalbavancin is being developed for treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections and is the second drug to receive the designation since GAIN Act was signed into law by President Obama in July 2012.
