NEW YORK, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has throughout the last decades added four major ways it can speed up the market approval of new drugs, ranging from Fast track (1988), Accelerated approval (1992), Priority review (1992) to the most recent Breakthrough therapy (2012).
This pipeline update, Cancer Drugs in the FDA Fast Lane, gives a thorough account on which cancer drugs the FDA has chosen to favor for one or more of the above mentioned fast lane programs. Each drug carries in-depth information detailing overall developmental progression for each drug, targets, pathways, indications etc. helping you to analyze trends and facts on what could tip the FDA in your favor. Now be warned this is not really an exact science as Percy Ivy, associate chief of the Investigational Drug Branch at the US National Cancer Institute's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program in Rockville, Maryland, expressed it by likens the definition of a breakthrough drug to US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's notorious 1964 definition of pornography: "You're just going to know it when you see it," Ivy says.
There are today 133 companies plus partners developing 154 cancer drugs in the FDA fast lane drugs in 1382 developmental projects in cancer. In addition, there are 5 suspended drugs and the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last years amount to another 57 drugs. Cancer Drugs In The Fda Fast Lane Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 166 different targets. All included targets have been cross-referenced for the presence of mutations associated with human cancer. To date 159 out of the 159 studied drug targets so far have been recorded with somatic mutations. The software application lets you narrow in on these mutations and links out to the mutational analysis for each of the drug targets for detailed information. All drugs targets are further categorized on in the software application by 50 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referrals to BioCarta, KEGG, NCI-Nature and NetPath.
