Find New Drug Approvals (NDA) and Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA) Issued in a Particular Year for a Specific Company by the FDA?

TOPIC: An ANDA (Abbreviated New Drug Application) is a required application that must be sent to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in order to market a product in the U.S. An ANDA must be submitted for the generic version of the brand name drug providing the FDA how your generic version is similar to the brand name of a drug.

A NDA (New Drug Application) is a required application that must be sent to the FDA in order to market a product in the U.S. A NDA is required for all new drug products (never sold in the U.S. previously) that you want to market. The NDA application is required to provide the FDA with all the pre-clinical and clinical data regarding the safety and efficiency of the product, as well as all the manufacturing processes.

Summaries of drug approval for prescription and generic drugs appear about every two weeks and are covered by FDAnews (File 182), which is a good file for current awareness since it updates daily. Approval contains the applicant, ingredients of the drug, the drug name (lab code) and indications. It also includes both ANDA and NDA approvals and type of approval. Some may be tentative approvals and will list the reason for the caution. Additionally, other articles are also included for drugs where there may be a problem (e.g., “Teva Wins Tentative Approval…”).

In this example, you will look for ANDA and NDA drug approvals issued by the FDA for the pharmaceutical company Teva in 2005 and 2006.

TEXT:
Teva said it has launched its generic version of Pfizer's blockbuster antidepressant Zoloft in the U.S., after a delay caused by late-stage production issues.
 
The Israeli drug firm has begun selling 25-, 50- and 100-mg tablets of Zoloft (sertraline HCl), indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder, the company said Aug. 14. As the first generic drugmaker that successfully challenged the Zoloft patent, Teva will be the only generic drugmaker allowed to sell those doses of the drug for the next six months. U.S. sales of Zoloft were approximately $3.1 billion for the 12 months ending June 2006, Teva said, citing IMS Health data. In its June 30 announcement that the FDA has granted final approval to Teva
to make generic Zoloft, Teva said the company was "in receipt of final labeling and is making preparations to launch this product in the latter part of July."
. . . .
This is Teva's third generic blockbuster drug launch with marketing exclusivity this year. In April, the company launched its 10-, 20- and 40-mg versions of Bristol-Myers Squibb's cholesterol drug Pravachol (pravastatin sodium) after a protracted court battle with Apotex and the FDA
http://www.fdanews.com/gl/23--9/drugapprovals/54913-1.html (Generic Line, May 3). Brand sales of those doses were $1.5 billion for the 12 months ended December 2005, according to Teva.
In late June, the company launched 5-, 10-, 20- and 40-mg generic versions of Merck cholesterol drug Zocor (simvastatin), which had U.S. sales of approximately $4.1 billion for the 12 months ended March 2006, Teva said
 
http://www.fdanews.com/gl/23--13/courts/57090-1.html (Generic Line, June 28).
 
While Teva is basking in the afterglow of three fantastic generic launches in the U.S., as that market matures, future growth will increasingly be driven by foreign generic sales as well as its
brand products including Copaxone and Azilect, Merrill Lynch analyst Gregg Gilbert said in a recent research note. --
