The biotech industry has long operated on a simple premise: FDA-regulated, evidence-based science determines how medicines reach patients, not litigation. That premise was already tested in an earlier Texas case challenging mifepristone鈥檚 Food and Drug Administration approval 鈥 an unprecedented effort to unwind decades of scientific review through the courts.
