Approval timeline#

Side panel#

Shows the selected drug: its use, name, ingredient and sponsor; Status, First approved and Generic applications; the label's indication with its link; and its FDA applications. For an anti-amyloid antibody it adds the drug's full record: products, decisions and Latest decision, in full →.

When the page first loads, the panel shows the drug with the most recent decision.

Anti-amyloid decisions: did the agency hold its position?#

A grid with the five threads down the side and every decision across the top. Each cell shows a status pill for each position the agency took on that thread in that decision; hover a pill for its thread and decision, and select it to read the position. A dash means no position is recorded. Select All positions → for the threads page.

Advisory committee votes#

One stacked bar per decision that went to an advisory committee, labelled with the committee date and question number. Blue is yes, orange is no, beige is uncertain or abstain. Each bar shows the counts and cites the minutes or review it comes from; hover a segment for its count. Decisions made without a vote are listed underneath as not referred or none mentioned in the letter.

Pending applications#

A short card: “Not published by FDA.” It shows the latest committee meeting notice and when the sources were last checked. What the record watches → opens the full Pending section.
