Drug ap­provals: FDA pub­lish­es dataset of CDER ap­provals since 1985

To pro­vide re­searchers with more ac­cu­rate and ac­ces­si­ble da­ta about his­toric drug ap­provals, the FDA on Fri­day re­leased a dataset con­tain­ing in­for­ma­tion about all new drugs and bi­o­log­ics ap­proved by the Cen­ter for Drug Eval­u­a­tion and Re­search (CDER) dat­ing back to 1985.

“FDA cre­at­ed the com­pi­la­tion to fa­cil­i­tate da­ta ac­ces­si­bil­i­ty, trans­paren­cy, and ac­cu­ra­cy when re­searchers seek in­for­ma­tion about an ap­proved drug,” the FDA writes, adding that the com­pi­la­tion should ac­cu­rate­ly re­flect “the state of each ap­pli­ca­tion at the time of ini­tial reg­u­la­to­ry ap­proval.”
