National Cancer Institute Director Ned Sharpless will serve as acting FDA Commissioner when Scott Gottlieb leaves the agency next month, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Tuesday.
"It will be an honor to advance the FDA's critical public health mission and build on its progress toward the priorities laid out by President Trump, Secretary Azar, and Commissioner Gottlieb alongside the leadership and staff of the agency," Sharpless said in a statement. Gottlieb's resignation took Washington and the health-care community by surprise. Some wondered what would happen to some of the initiatives he led, such as a crackdown on teen vaping. Shares of Marlboro cigarette maker Altria retreated after Azar announced Sharpless' appointment.
In an email to FDA staff, Gottlieb said Sharpless is a"valued colleague to the FDA and is deeply committed to public health."

FDA approves first immunotherapy regimen for breast cancerThe US Food and Drug Administration granted its first approval to an immunotherapy regimen for breast cancer, the agency announced Friday.
