If true, this is really good news. Not only can Dr. Pazdur be the "adult in the room" with this crowd, but he's a world class scientist, seasoned administrator, and compassionate physician of impeachable integrity. With a proven track record at the agency. Good luck Rick 🤞🏻
The Trump administration plans to name longtime FDA oncology expert Richard Pazdur as the nation’s top drug regulator, according to three people.
RICK PAZDUR is now planning to resign at the end of the year — three weeks after taking the job as FDA's top drug regulator.

Big shake-up after a year of turbulence at the agency.
