In an earlier post (here), we projected the June approval number to be 52 full approval actions and 19 tentative approval actions. This morning the FDA published its official approval actions as well as other metrics (here) and our projections were spot on. The total of 71 approval actions (52 + 19) were exactly what […]
On July 1, OGD updated its monthly statistical report for May 2022 (here). The additional stats (while not particularly remarkable) outline the workload output for the ANDA review and approval process and should be of interest to most of us that pay attention to OGD output. Highlights of the final May statistical report appear below. […]
Well, just like that, OGD posted the official approval actions along with some other metrics for May and also updated the rest of the April statistics. We have been touting the May approval action and we were ever-so-close but missed by one. The actual official May approval actions are as follows: Full approval actions 84 […]
June looks fairly strong but likely not as strong as May’s projected unofficial total (ninety‑three full and tentative actions). With postings through June 14th on the FDA’s Daily and All Approval lists (here and here), as of 10:30 a.m. on June 16, 2022, there were twenty‑three full‑approval actions and nine tentative‑approval actions. This total of […]
The March statistical update to the Generic Drugs Program Activities Report – Monthly Performance brings the refuse-to-receive (RTR) count back to a manageable number of three, which has been seen every month so far this FY except for last month, which saw triple that number. The OGD also acknowledged sixty‑two ANDAs in March. Other metrics […]
If we say so ourselves, we totally nailed the full-approval actions for March when we reported the unofficial number at sixty-three (see previous post here) but, at the same time, we missed big time on the tentative-approval actions, which we reported at four – well, the official TA approval actions were just reported at eighteen! […]
According to the Activities Report of the Generic Drugs Program | GDUFA II Quarterly Performance published yesterday, the Office of Generic Drugs is looking at over 1,712 ANDAs that are pending Agency action. While down a bit from the 1,749 reported at the end of the first quarter, the number jumped from the end of […]
The OGD updated its usual February statistical report late yesterday (April 18, 2022) to complete the month’s reporting. To start out with a bit of a startling number, February saw nine ANDAs issued refuse‑to‑receive (RTR) letters. This is triple the number in any month this FY (only three RTRs were reported in each of the […]
We were close with our estimates for February approval actions, but the FDA reported one fewer full-approval action than we did (fifty-nine vs. sixty) and, upon review, note that it was because one of the ANDAs was listed in a separate line item as an action. Sorry we missed that! Of the fifty-nine full-approval actions, […]
Late Wednesday afternoon, the FDA posted official metrics for the items mentioned above. This was a p quick turnaround for these figures as they usually come out about the middle of the month. The OGD report (here) lists 61 full approval actions (we missed on our predictions by 1), which included 7 first generic approvals, […]
