New drug filings increased slightly from 64 to 65 between fiscal years 2018 and 2019, while new drug approvals declined from 53 to 45. Notable innovation has occurred in specialty diseases like cancer and orphan drugs, which require high prices to generate significant sales. The pharmaceutical industry needs continued innovation to drive long-term revenue growth by pursuing therapies for specialized populations.

Note: FDA's standard review clock is 12 months and priority review clock is 8 moths from the date of filing. Since the FDA date of filing acceptance is 60 days after filing, the approval clocks from the
date of acceptance are two months shorter than from the date of filing.
