Drug approvals by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are making a strong comeback after a lull in 2016. Market intelligence firm Evaluate says 28 new drugs were given the green light in the year to 19 July 2017, which has already exceeded the 26 approved in 2016.

Evaluate believes the FDA is on track to approve up to 43 new drugs this year and hopes this will address fears of a regulatory or innovative slowdown.
