Investment in US rare disease biotech has increased following the FDA's Priority Review Voucher (PRV) program renewal, while UK rare disease companies lack a similar incentive and face funding challenges. The UK's MHRA is consulting on faster regulatory frameworks, but industry leaders suggest a PRV-like incentive is needed to boost UK biotech investment and competitiveness.
