New FDA Approved NMEs of 2009 (so far)
A brief note, really just a picture of a table of the New Molecular Entities of 2009 - there will undoubtedly be a few more approved this year, but this is the story so far.
24 New NMEs; of which 5 are biologicals, 5 are Natural Product derived, 14 are synthetic small molecules. 12 of the drugs have a black box warning at launch. 13 of the NMEs are orally dosed, and 13 pass the Rule of Five.
Now back to thinking about EU grants.....
