Is the FDA Approving More Drugs?
A recent UPI report focused on the number of FDA approvals.
United Press International - Health Business - Analysis: FDA approving more drugs:
The report states that September and October were strong and there have been 83 approvals putting it in line with 2004 results. However, this may be temporary and not a long term trend. I think the lack of a lead and the possibility of even more legislation regarding drug safety will likely slow down the process.
I personally think the low-lying fruit has been picked over throughly and now there needs to be more validation of potential drug targets in order to facilitate research and allow for more potential drugs to be developed. Until more valid targets are discovered, I think the rate of drug development will continue to be sluggish.
