NEW MOLECULAR ENTITY APPROVAL TIMES DOWN SLIGHTLY IN FIRST HALF OF 1995
Executive Summary
New molecular entities are being approved by FDA slightly faster in 1995 than last year, although the 11 NMEs approved to date do not exceed the number cleared by the agency in the first eight months of 1994. FDA will need at least as many approvals in the last four months of the year to meet the 22 NMEs approved last year.
