The US Food and Drug Administration’s top drug regulator, Rick Pazdur, has submitted his resignation to the agency, citing 26 years of service. Pazdur joined the agency after being convinced by Commissioner Marty Makary to take on the role, which aims to bring stability to an agency plagued by months of upheaval. His departure comes days after top vaccine regulator Vinay Prasad raised concerns about regulatory requirements for new vaccines.
