The modern pharmaceutical industry began in earnest during the 1930s," the authors note. "The rate of NME approvals of
this nascent industry remained at a relatively low level (averaging fewer than four NMEs per year) until 1950."
Thereafter, FDA began to regularly approve in excess of 10 NMEs each year until the 1980s,
when it began to regularly approve more than 20 NMEs each year. Its approval rate peaked in 1997,
when the agency approved a whopping 55 NMEs—a number the agency has never again come close to matching.
