In 2018, the US Food and Drug Administration approved 59 novel drugs. This all-time record was due primarily to the expedited review pathways; 43 of the 59 (73%) novel drug approvals were designated in an expedited review pathway, and 34 of the 59 (58%) were approved for treatment of rare diseases. A review of these novel drugs is summarized. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
