Annual On-Time Review Performance for FY 2008
FY 2008 PDUFA Performance Report Table of Contents
The table below summarizes FDA’s performance for FY 2007 and FY 2008 submissions whose reviews were completed during FY 2008. For the purposes of measuring on-time performance only, a review is considered complete either when an action is taken, or when the on-time goal period has expired, whichever occurs first. The on-time review performance for FY 2008 includes reviews that were pending and not overdue from FY 2007 and reviews that were completed on time and pending overdue in FY 2008. FDA review performance for FY 2008 ranged from 71 percent of reviews on time for priority NMEs and BLAs to 95 percent on time for manufacturing supplements not requiring prior approval.

On-time review performance in any given year will impact two fiscal years of performance goals. FY 2008 reviews were a factor in the final FY 2007 performance goal calculations and preliminary FY 2008 performance goal measurements. Likewise, final FY 2008 performance goal calculations will be dependent on FY 2009 review performance.
