The document discusses the Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) process for generic drugs in the United States. An ANDA is a request to the FDA to manufacture and market a generic drug without needing to conduct clinical trials. If approved, the generic drug will be listed in the Orange Book. The ANDA process aims to reduce drug prices and development time compared to innovator drugs. It requires generics to have the same active ingredients and be bioequivalent but not necessarily identical. The Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 established provisions for ANDA submissions and patent certifications.
