With the COVID-19 crisis stretching into its third year, the 2021 batch of new drug approvals clearly demonstrates that the sector has learned how to operate in a pandemic. All told, the industry nabbed 55 FDA approvals in 2021. They include the controversial accelerated approval for Biogen's Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm, Pfizer's record-shattering COVID-19 vaccine, Comirnaty, and many others. Not all 2021 approvals commanded as many headlines as Aduhelm and Comirnaty. Aside from those notable companies, also represented in 2021's crop of new approvals were Amgen, Bristol Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Regeneron. And among the dozens of new drugs green-lit last year, companies such as BridgeBio, ChemoCentryx and Apellis won their first-ever FDA approvals, setting them up to make their commercial debuts.

The FDA struggled to keep up with its inspection duties during the pandemic, leading to regulatory delays for certain drugmakers. In November, the agency reported that 55 new drug applications were facing inspection delays. Avadel Pharmaceuticals and UCB were among those to experience inspection-related delays in 2021. â 2021 drug approvals: In a year dominated by COVID, biopharma managed to deliver 55 new drugs 1. #Verquvo 2. #Cabenuva 3. #Lupkynis 4. #Tepmetko 5. #Ukoniq 6. #Breyanzi 7. #Evkeeza 8. #Cosela 9.
