For healthcare professionals. Expected dates come from company announcements and can change; the FDA may act earlier or later. Not medical advice.

What a PDUFA date is

Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, the FDA sets a goal date for acting on each application: about 10 months after filing for a standard review and 6 months for a priority review. Companies usually announce the date when the FDA accepts the application. The FDA can act early, extend the date by 3 months after a major amendment, approve, or send a complete response letter explaining why it cannot approve yet.

How we keep this calendar

Every date links to the company's announcement it comes from, with the announcement's date. After the goal date we check FDA's records and update the entry with the outcome and its FDA source. Approved new drugs get their own page on our approvals list.
