21st Century Cures Act to accomplish goal

According to 21st Century, the 21st Century Cures Act will accomplish what it set out to do, delivering safe new cures and treatments to patients across the nation.

To celebrate, 21st Century outlined the five themes that are included in the legislation.

“We’re closing in on what’s truly a once-in-a-generation, transformational opportunity to change the way we treat disease,” Fred Upton (R-MI), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said.

The five themes featured include: “delivering hope, removing barriers to research collaboration, incorporating patient feedback into the drug development process, promoting personalized medicine and modernizing clinical trials.”

A breakdown of why #CuresNow is needed by patients and families throughout the U.S., according to 21st Century, can be found on energycommerce.house.gov.
