August saw the OGD refusing to receive only three applications, one standard application and two priority GDUFA II applications. Quite interestingly, thus far this FY, the number of priority-review applications compared to the number of standard-review ANDAs that have been refused to be received (10/37) is quite high considering that there are many more standard-review […]
After a few inquiries about the lack of public approval action reporting for ANDAs at the end of August and thus far through September 25th, it appears that our reporting revealed some type of a problem. Although we do not know the exact nature of the problem as of yet, we received a nice note […]
I have blogged about a problem with the discrepancy in the official August approval numbers that the FDA issues in its Activities Report of the Generic Drugs Program (FY 2019) Monthly Performance (Report) (here) and those appearing on the FDA daily approval list (here) and the FDA All Approvals list (here). The latter two listings […]
According to all of the published approval data on the FDA All Approvals List (here) and the Drugs@FDA: FDA Approved Drug Products (here), the OGD has taken full-approval action on fifty-nine ANDAs and tentative approval action on twelve ANDAs for a total of seventy approval actions in August. But wait – there is something amiss! […]
I don’t know about you but has this year flown by or what? Summer will be over on Labor Day and there will be only one month left in FY 2019. OGD approval actions thru reporting on August 22 show OGD with 53 full approval actions and 11 tentative approval actions. Thus, it looks like […]
According to the FDA, OGD approved 11 ANDAs for Pregabalin (a generic for Lyrica), on Friday, July 19, 2019. However, when looking at the Innovator product’s patent and exclusivity awards, the 180-day pediatric exclusivity expired on June 30, 2019. This got my mind working to try to figure out why the 17-day (June 30 fell […]
With just eleven of the twenty-two working days left in July for the OGD to report approval actions, the number of full approval actions stands at twenty-nine and tentative approval actions sit at eight, for a total of thirty-seven so far this month. These numbers are derived from the FDA’s All Approvals page here. Compared […]
OGD released its official approval and receipt numbers on Wednesday afternoon and, as was predicted (almost) in our previous blog (here), it was somewhat disappointing. We missed the approval actions by one. OGD actually issued 45 approval actions (we found only 44), and they issued 17 (as predicted) tentative approval actions for a total of […]
We reported here that June may be a gloomy month for approval actions. A few days ahead of the release of the official OGD numbers, it looks like we were on target. As reported through this morning on FDA All Approvals List (here), OGD had issued 44 full approval actions and 17 tentative approval for […]
This time of year, in southern California, the marine layer (low fog and clouds) hangs over the first few miles of the coast. We call it June gloom. Everyone either goes inland to see the sun or just waits it out until the Fourth of July weekend when the weather usually turns to the glorious, […]
