Summary 
The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) within the US FDA maintains a technical profile of drug products containing nanomaterials that have been submitted to the Agency for review. A review of drug products over the past 50 years highlights the diversity and changing landscape for these products. This talk will discuss several trends observed in the development of drug products containing nanomaterials, including the relative rate of approvals for these products.
