FDA must have the trust of the American people. Trust must be earned through transparency. The best form of transparency is to have everything out in the open and permit all stakeholders to view AND participate. Decisions cannot be made in a black box. This benefits review divisions by giving them “cover” for unpopular but scientifically/ethically sound decisions. It benefits patients by letting them see the data and trust the process. Yes there’s a cost. But it’s a no brainer to have AdComs.
