APPENDIX C: List of Approved Applications

FY 99 Priority NDAs/BLAs | FY 99 Standard NDAs/BLAs | Terms and Coding| Notes

Tables(Priority and Standard NDA/BLA Approvals by Fiscal Year):
FY 1999 Priority | FY 1999 Standard | FY 1998 Priority | FY 1998 Standard | FY 1997 Standard | FY 1996 Priority | FY 1996 Standard | FY 1995 Standard

This appendix updates the detailed review histories of the NDAs and PLA/BLAs submitted and approved under PDUFA. It shows approvals of all PDUFA-related submissions that took place in FY 00 as well as FY 99 approvals of FY 99 submissions. Earlier PDUFA approvals were listed in previous performance reports.

The following two tables summarize the review histories for all approved applications submitted from FY 95 through FY 99. The tables show the average first review, second review, and approval times. Note that times are in months, not all applications required a second review, and some required more than two reviews. The mean total approval times shown in the tables will increase in the future as additional applications are approved.

Table Notes

  1. This application was originally submitted on 6/16/97 and was withdrawn on 9/17/97 because of insufficient data. It was resubmitted on 5/26/99. This date was used to calculate the total approval time.
  2. This application was submitted on 2/14/90 and withdrawn on 10/27/92. It was resubmitted on 5/3/99. This date was used to calculate the total approval time.
  3. The total approval time for this NDA was adjusted. The firm encountered a problem with the container when the product was shipped. Six months were excluded from the total approval time while the firm resolved the problem.
  4. The total approval time for this NDA was adjusted. The firm first submitted this application as a supplement when it should have been submitted as an NDA. The time period from 10/1/97 to 6/18/98 was excluded from the total approval time.
  5. The total approval time for this NDA was adjusted. The firm submitted new studies supporting a new indication. The time period from 2/20/98 to 1/14/00 was excluded from the total approval time.
  6. The total approval time for this NDA was adjusted because of insufficient safety and efficacy data. The time period from 3/19/98 to 3/30/99 was excluded from the total approval time.
  7. The total approval time for this NDA was adjusted. The firm submitted two pivotal studies using an active comparator that was not approved in the U.S. At FDA's request, the firm undertook additional evaluations to characterize the unapproved comparator. The time period from 3/24/99 to 9/24/99 was excluded from the total approval time.
  8. The total approval time for this NDA was adjusted. The time period from 9/18/96 to 8/19/99 was excluded from the total approval time because the sponsor had to find a new manufacturer, the final study report for the US clinical trial was completed and submitted late in the review, and stability issues had to be addressed before the sponsor could resubmit the application for review. The time period from 2/18/00 to 3/31/00 was excluded from the total approval time while the sponsor prepared for a facilities reinspection
  9. The total approval time for this NDA was adjusted. The time period until an acceptable inspection was received (9/3/98 to 5/19/99) was excluded from the total approval time.
