Severe Eczema Drug Is Approved by F.D.A.; Price Tag Is $37,000 a Year. Debbie Byrnes suffered from severe eczema, but her skin is almost completely clear after using Dupixent for two years. The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved a drug to treat people with a serious form of eczema, a potential breakthrough for people who have suffered for years without relief.
The company then submits an application (usually about 100,000 pages) to the FDA for approval, a process that can take up to two and a half years. After final approval, the drug becomes available for physicians to prescribe. At this stage, the drug company will continue to report cases of adverse reactions and other clinical data to the FDA. The research-based pharmaceutical industry currently invests some US$12.6 billion a year in new drug development.
