Abstract
The US Food and Drug Administration's controversial decision to grant accelerated approval to aducanumab (Aduhelm), a therapy for Alzheimer's disease, has motivated multiple policy reforms. Drawing a case series of other drugs granted accelerated approval and interviews of senior FDA officials, I argue that reform should be informed but not defined by aducanumab. Rather, structural reforms are needed to reshape FDA's core priorities and restore the regulatory system's commitment to scientific rigor.
