BIOTECH'S LOST ARCHIVE

FDA submissions contain unparalleled details about the design of clinical trials, manufacturing processes, safety assessments, and reviewer correspondences, but this information is not publicly available. This article details a proposal for a legally grounded mechanism for democratizing FDA filings. Freeing FDA submissions from obscurity would level the playing field for small biotech firms, academic teams, and nonprofits and enable AI-driven regulatory intelligence tools that dramatically lower compliance costs and accelerate approval timelines. AI stands to revolutionize drug development, but only if it can be trained on high-quality unredacted datasets.
