News Briefs: HHS Unveils Draft Guidance on Using March-In Rights

On Dec. 8, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology and HHS unveiled draft guidance (88 Fed. Reg. 85593) on framework for exercising march-in rights on taxpayer-funded drugs and other products. The framework “specifies that price can be a factor in considering whether a drug is accessible to the public,” the administration said. That was one of other “new actions to promote competition in health care and support lowering prescription drug costs for American families.” Comments must be received by 5 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 6.
