Acceptance of imported drug applications:

In the first quarter of 2019, China CDE accepted a total of 222 applications for imported drugs. Among them, the number of applications for therapeutic biological products was the highest, reaching 73 acceptance; the second was the new drug of Class 1, with 47 acceptance; The Class 5.1 and Class 5.2 drugs were basically the same, with 37 and 42 acceptance respectively; Class 2.4 drugs were the least, with only 19 acceptance.

Among the 222 imported drug acceptance, 138 of them are clinical applications, and the other 80 are marketing applications. And in all the drug varieties for marketing application, 6 of them are put in the priority review track of CDE: Nivolumab injection (Bristol-Myers Squibb), Adalimumab injection (AbbVie), Patezumab injection (Roche), Dabrafenib capsule (Novartis), Trametinib tablets (Novartis) and Pralatrexate injection (Mundipharma).
