After two stellar months, the OGD approvals (at least through mid-June) appear to have slowed down a bit, with 31 full-approval actions and six tentative-approval (TA) actions reported through June 16th (here). While there is still time for the approval pace to pick up during the latter part of June, with 37 total approval actions […]
A sneak peek at the Office of Generic Drugs’ May 2024 approval actions should put a smile on the industry’s face as the OGD hit the highest number of total approval actions so far this FY in May. The OGD issued a total of 84 approval actions last month, consisting of 72 full-approval actions and […]
Well, the numbers look good (as we predicted); however, we missed by a few in our crystal ball calculations. It is possible that at least 2-3 approvals for alternate strengths of previously approved products showed up in the charts, so we were a bit high on the projected full approval numbers (see here) and that […]
April’s unofficial totals for approvals actions were discussed in a previous blog post here, and we mentioned that April showers might bring May flowers. Well, the bloom of approvals so far in May might rival the bloom of flowers that we’re seeing in the California deserts this year! The approval actions posted through May 16th […]
Well, it must be true that April showers bring May flowers. A shower of approvals in April is something we haven’t seen in a while. The OGD unofficially issued sixty-eight full-approval actions and eleven tentative-approval actions for a total of seventy-nine for the month. We still must wait for the official numbers to be posted, […]
With the first half of the month in the books and postings up through April 17, 2024, the OGD has issued thirty full-approval actions and seven tentative-approval actions. At this rate, it is possible that the OGD will hit or break sixty full-approval actions in April. This could be the first month that the OGD goes […]
This month we will pat ourselves on the back as we captured the correct number of approval and tentative approval actions in our calculation of the unofficial numbers in our post here. We were more patient when looking at the February data from the daily approval page (which must be pieced together because it only […]
As the saying goes, March came in like a lion but went out like a lamb. The OGD issued only 48 full-approval actions and 13 tentative-approval actions for a total of 61. The beginning days of the month looked relatively strong but that kind of petered out towards the end of the month. The 48 […]
Thus far, the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) has issued a total of 32 full-approval actions and 7 tentative-approval actions for a total of 39 approval actions through March 21st. Unless there is considerable upward action on approvals through the end of the month, it is likely that March will be the lowest month for […]
A month and half after the close of the January books, we now get a look at the output and incoming workload of the Office of Generic Drugs for January 2024, the fourth month of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024. I will provide some of the highlights of the Generic Drugs Program Monthly Report, but you […]
