FDA Approved Four New Gene Therapies, Other Novel Agents in 2022

While the FDA may not have approved the most drugs in a year in 2022, it still gave the green light to a number of agents, many of them specialty medications, as well as granted additional indications to existing therapies. The FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved 39 new molecular entities in 2022, and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) approved 12 biologic license applications, including four new gene therapies in the second half of the year. AIS Health, a division of MMIT, asked some industry sources what the most notable 2022 FDA approvals were and why they were so important.
