MHRA and NICE invite early adopters to trial accelerated aligned pathway – six months ahead of schedule
10 October 2025 - Aligned pathway will streamline decisions on licensing and value for medicines, helping patients to benefit from them sooner.
Pharmaceutical companies who make qualifying medicines can now take advantage of a streamlined approvals pathway for medicines much earlier than anticipated.
The MHRA and NICE are now offering some pharmaceutical companies early access to the aligned pathway six months earlier than projected, as user research begins to shape the next phase of the programme. The pathway is now accepting applications from manufacturers who make medicines which have been designated by the NICE and the MHRA for early access.
