Insulin is a life-saving drug that many Americans depend on to treat their diabetes. In recent years, however, increases in the prices of insulin products have raised serious concerns about the ability for many patients to access the insulin needed to survive. The FDA is holding this public hearing to receive input from stakeholders as the Agency prepares for the submission and review of applications for biosimilar and interchangeable insulin products.  FDA anticipates that these products, once they are approved, will bring new competition to the insulin market and help provide affordable treatment options to patients with diabetes.

The entrance for public meeting participants (non-FDA employees or contractors) is through Building 1, where routine security check procedures will be performed. For parking, security and other visitor information, please refer to Public Meetings at the FDA White Oak Campus.
