🔍 Navigating the New FDA-LDT Rule: Winners and Losers in Diagnostic Laboratory Testing 🥇🥉 📖As the FDA introduces stricter regulations for Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs), the implications for established and emerging diagnostic laboratories are starkly different. 🏆 Strategic Advantages for Established Labs: 📌 Grandfathering Provision & NYS CLEP carve out: The FDA’s grandfathering clause allows on market LDTs and those approved by NYS CLEP to operate under enforcement discretion. This distinctly benefits established labs that have a broad portfolio of on market tests, providing them stability and continuity that new labs lack. Myriad Genetics' latest earnings call, featuring insights from COO Sam Raha reveals how established laboratories may emerge as winners: https://lnkd.in/daMqhZGS 📢Favorable Regulation: "Our current view is that this finalized version of the rule is more favorable than the preliminary guidance," notes Raha. 📢Compliance and Experience: "All of our on-market tests meet CAP/CLIA, New York State requirements...we have a strong quality assurance regulatory affairs organization," Raha adds, highlighting Myriad's preparedness and long-standing FDA collaboration. 📈 Strategic Insight: The regulatory shift is likely to create a bifurcated market where established diagnostic laboratories can capitalize on their entrenched positions and regulatory expertise. 👉Established laboratories are likely to face fewer disruptions compared to startups, which must navigate complex regulatory frameworks from scratch. 👉Established laboratories generally have more extensive resources and infrastructure to manage regulatory changes, which can be a significant hurdle for startups with limited capital and smaller teams. 🤔 How will this affect innovation in the diagnostics industry?… #Diagnostics #FDALDTRule #BusinessStrategy
