FDA Reviews More Drugs Faster Than Europe Or Canada.

The AP (5/17, Perrone) reports in a story appearing on over 230 news sites on a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, based on "analysis by researchers at Yale and the Mayo Clinic" finding that "the US approved more new medicines in less time than Europe and Canada in the last decade, challenging long-standing criticisms that the Food and Drug Administration lags behind its peers in clearing important new drugs." Overall, the study found that "between 2001 and 2010, the FDA's typical review of a new drug was about 15 percent faster than those by the European Medicines Agency and Health Canada."

MedPage Today (5/17) reports, "The speed at which the FDA approves medications has significantly improved since the passage of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) in 1992."
