c. Extend the clinical research phase.

PRIMEXAM.COM

, Once the Investigational New Drug Application has been approved, the drug can receive
highest priority within the agency, which is called fast tracking. A smallpox outbreak would
become a priority concern in the world. Orphan diseases are not researched in a priority
manner. Preclinical research is not omitted. Extending any phase of the research would mean a
longer time to develop a vaccine. The FDA must ensure that all phases of the preclinical and
clinical research phase have been completed in a safe manner.
