After disappointing 2016, new drug approvals roared back to life in 2017

New drug approvals all but screeched to a halt in 2016, with a measly 22 new OKs after a pair of bountiful years. But the FDA wasted no time in 2017, signing off on 12 drugs in the first quarter alone—besting its record for the same period of any year in recent history.

FDA rolls out an early and historic OK for Spark’s pioneering gene therapy

Spark Therapeutics $ONCE has scored an historic FDA approval of Luxturna, the world’s first such AAV-delivered gene therapy designed to cure a rare eye disease triggered by a genetic mutation.
