brody: the fda says that it is not. the fda is set up to be largely immune from political influence. supposed tons are be judged purely on science -- by a team of scientists and doctors. this is something that could be changing. what happened here is that when evan morris made this political network of doctors and patients to talk to members of the conference -- congress, it may be fda go by the book. they could not cut corners, they could not immediately rescinded, because they had a whole bunch of members of congress that were concerned. they needed to make sure they did everything right. meant a morris, that delay. >> did the senator get money from genentech? brody: good question. i do not recall that he did. i do not believe he did. he definitely did not from evan , he probably got money from the political action committees of genentech. >> so what is this thing called national media? who is the gentleman that runs it? runs a string of media consulting firms in washington. a ad buyingia is company in washington. whe

and then we submit this data to a regulatory body like the fda for approval. this process has many interactions and false starts, very often you start with a basic drug substance you believe it's going to be efficacious, but it's toxic. or you remove the toxicity, and you find it's no longer efficacious. there's multiple attempts to try and get the right medicine with the right distribution. that's risk profile is favorable. to beth illustration this process -- best illustrate this process, i'll share with you our first in class drug for the treatment of advanced breast cancer, one of the deadliest and most poorly understood cancers. the medicine started with original research done by independent researchers that identified and characterized sigh clip-dependent -- [inaudible] which are key regulators of cell growth division. through research, at ucla, we were able to identify the right population for our compound, and by 2008 we had an acceptable molecule that we believe appropriately interfered with -- to disrupt the growth of tumors. this result was that afte

mckinney: the fda as recently within the last couple of years has made it very clear that the scienceda sees it, simply does not merit such a warning at this time. sharyl: the fda also did say, though, the growing body of evidence to support a possible association between genital talc exposure and serous ovarian cancer is difficult to dismiss? mr. mckinney: god bless 'em. and i don't know anyone who is arguing that what we know today about talcum powder use or chocolate consumption or red wine consumption is what we will believe 30 years from now. but based on what we know today, certainly the fda believes and many of the rest of us believe that there's no reason to hold the makers or the sellers of talcum powder liable to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, much of which the plaintiffs' bar is going to greedily call its own. sharyl: mckinney says money-grubbing plaintiffs' lawyers are descending upon a sympathetic court in st. louis, missouri, where the talc industry lost those three big cases and where more than 1000 more lawsuits are pending. mr. mckinney: they chose a gia

in 2014 and 15200 new medicines were approved by the fda. many of them were for rare diseases, cancers and other conditions, where there were no good treatments available. the pipeline across the pharmaceutical industry for new medicines has never been more promising. with more than 7000 medicines under development, an average of 70% of drugs across the pipeline are potentially first in class medicines. that is, that drug has not been discovered before. that mechanism had not been discovered before. what do you attribute this progress? i believe it is the result of focused investment in highly risky drug discovery and development combined with advances in basic research from our university and other types of institutions. from discovery through fda approval, developing a new medicine, on average, takes 10 t $2.6 billion. that is the number from boston university. less than 12% of the potential medicines that make it to phase i clinical trials are approved by the fda. you can look at the study and you can quibble about how it was done. i can g

paul: what else the problem at fda. >> the culture.its identity is glownld power and control, whether it's especially drug makers, fan pharmaceuticals, and and a square out of every dollar spent in the u.s. economy and they are not going to give you have that control. >> generic drugs are slow to come to market and more. you you have got to do the clinical trial to the get a drug approved. they are huge clinical trials. which is hard in the case of anti-biotics. and if you read the new england journal much medicine, there are endless articles about redesigning these clinical trials. the 21st century cures act speeds up that process. and there is a lot of institution at pushback against doing that. they say sit will slower standards. but you have got to do something like that if you are going to get the new drugs. >> on the super bug problem, it's a step forward. the fda will need radical change if we are going to tap the potential of modern medicine. paul: it's more when individualized treatment. are they rethinking these kinds of tria

in 2014 and 2015, over 40 new medicines were approved by the fda. many were for an array of diseases where there was no good treatment available. the pipeline across the pharmaceutical industry for new medicines has never been more promising. with more than 7000 medicines under development, around the world, and an average 70% of drugs across the pipeline are potentially first in class medicines. that drug has not been discovered before. that mechanism has not been discovered before. what do we attribute this progress? i believe it is the result of focused investment in highly risky undertaking of drug discovery and development, combined with advances in basic research from our universities in the nih. from discovery through fda approval, developing new medicine on average takes 10 to 15 years in costs $2.6 billion. less than 12% of the potential medicines make it to initial trials -- you can look at this and you can quibble about how it was done. i can give you a very easy way of knowing what the costs are of the drug. pfizer spends a lean dollars a

and with the fda, we have more work to do. sh line here in the united states. and we're working on the protocols and doing the diligence on the feasibility of the study that the fda requested. >> you're putting that very diplomatically. here's how i understood it. the fda refused your request for accelerated approval of this drug. this after european regulatorser approved it using the same data the fda said was insufficient. saying people need access to these drugs wochblt your experience be a classic example of that? >> i think in this case, this is a drug that we developed for many years. we've heard from patients and patients do want the drug. we do disagree with the fda. while we have a great wrim fda. we're committed to working through issues and to doing work that the fda requested. but of course, we'll continue to evaluate what's in the best interests of apparents. >> overall, the fda's process for approving drugs these days, is it too slow? they have tried to pick up the pace a little bit. and the portrayedoff between s

they're streamlining going on all the time in the fda. they're continuing to improve, and the life science industry is improving because we're starting to really meet some of these unmet needs in life sciences, you know, cure some illnesses that haven't been cured before, going after some orphan diseases. so i think the streamlining is always going on, and i'm really happy to see the dialogue about that. the government and the industry working together to serve the patients better. >> all right. that's peter gassner. he's the founder and ceo of veeva systems off a record quarter. thank you for coming on "mad money." >> thanks, jim. glad to be here. >> all right. this is another software service stock that has a great market and it's getting bigger.
