PDUFA VII: Fiscal Years 2023 – 2027

On September 30, 2022, the President signed into law the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act of 2022. This new law includes the sixth reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) that provides FDA with the necessary resources to maintain a predictable and efficient review process for human drug and biologic products.

FDA developed the proposed enhancements for PDUFA VII in consultation with drug industry representatives, patient and consumer advocates, health care professionals, and other public stakeholders from September 2020 through February 2021. FDA transmitted these proposed enhancements to Congress in January 2022, which are referred to in Title 1 of the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act.

The new law ensures that FDA will continue to receive a source of stable and consistent funding during fiscal years 2023-2027 that will allow the agency to fulfill its mission to protect and promote public health by helping to bring to market critical new medicines for patients. This page contains the relevant information related to PDUFA VII and FDA’s implementation of the PDUFA VII enhancements. It also includes information related to the negotiations and consultations prior to the agreement.
