The FDA has initiated efforts like Operation TrialBlazer to speed up first-in-human trials but faces pressure to further streamline processes to retain clinical research in the U.S. as China gains ground in biotech trials, risking patient access to experimental treatments and U.S. leadership in drug approval.
