Imagine a pharmaceutical company that has just received an accelerated approval designation from the FDA for their lead candidate. While this is an exciting milestone, the expedited timelines and deliverables felt like a stretch for the team. They quickly shifted their focus to meeting these new timelines and planning for various scenarios. Evaluating the demands, risks, and benefits of the designation, they wondered, "Can we really pull this off?"
