fast-track

Explanation:
I would leave it untranslated.

...Bij de FDA bestaat er de mogelijkheid om bij de ontwikkeling van geneesmiddelen voor ernstige, levensbedreigende aandoeningen een versnelde verwerking aan te vragen, waardoor er al binnen een paar jaar registratie kan plaatsvinden (zogenoemde ‘fast-track-behandeling)....

I think it would be best to use fast track, since it is the FDA that is granting the 'fast track designation' to a drug. It is the name of a specific program defined by the FDA. See link for definition:

Misschien kan je het zo doen: heeft een Fast Track status (versnelde toelatingsprocedure) toegekend ...

snelle procedure

Explanation:
Wordt o.a. hiervoor gebruikt.

"This will be achieved by a combination of the reduction by half of the length of time available for the consultation of Member States on Commission decisions, the introduction of conditional authorisations and a fast-track procedure, together with a more formalised approach to the availability of medicinal products on a compassionate-use basis."

"Dit zal worden bereikt door een combinatie van maatregelen, zoals de halvering van de beschikbare tijd voor de raadpleging van de lidstaten over beschikkingen van de Commissie, de invoering van voorwaardelijke vergunningen en van een snelle procedure, alsmede een formelere benadering van de verstrekking van beschikbare geneesmiddelen uit medelijden."

Reference

Reference information:
The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) includes Section 112, "Expediting study and approval of fast track drugs." This section mandates the Agency to facilitate the development and expedite review of drugs and biologics intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions and that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. Fast track adds to existing programs, such as accelerated approval, the possibility of a "rolling submission" for a marketing application. An important feature of fast track is that it emphasizes the critical nature of close early communication between the FDA and sponsor to improve the efficiency of product development.
