Internal documents seen by the media show that the US Food and Drug Administration has delayed the review of two drugs selected for the Trump administration's new fast-track program because the agency's scientists raised concerns about their safety and effectiveness, including a patient's death while taking one of the drugs. FDA reviewers have delayed the review of an experimental drug by Disc Medicine for treating a rare blood disorder by two weeks because of concerns about the trial data and its potential for misuse. They also postponed the review of Tzield, a drug by French pharmaceutical company Sanofi for treating late-stage type 1 diabetes, for over a month due to adverse event reports, including two adverse events related to seizures and blood clotting and one death event.
