Medicines in Development
Patients with a wide range of life-threatening and debilitating illnesses today live in the hope tomorrow will bring a new medicine that will improve or even save their life. America’s biopharmaceutical research companies are researching and developing new medicines to meet unmet need and continuing research and development even after U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, all with the goal of improving patients’ health, quality of life, and saving lives.
Since 2000, nearly 900 new medicines have been approved by the FDA, helping patients live longer, healthier lives. Among the remarkable new treatments reaching patients are the first gene therapies for devastating rare genetic disorders impacting infants and children, curative treatments for hepatitis C, a range of CAR-T cell therapies driving unprecedented remission rates for cancer patients as well as immunotherapies and targeted therapies widely regarded as driving accelerated drops in cancer mortality for U.S. patients in recent years.
