The cost for a drug company to develop a new drug and gain FDA approval can range from hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars. This figure includes expenses for research and development, clinical trials, regulatory fees, and other associated costs. The FDA charges specific fees for services such as New Drug Application (NDA) submissions, which can amount to several million dollars. Overall, the financial burden reflects the lengthy and complex process required to bring a new drug to market.

Poorly! When a drug company comes up with a new drug many studies and trials must be done on the drug first and then passed by the FDA. Lately it appears the FDA is not doing their job!
The cost for filing an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the FDA typically ranges from $70,480 to $141,000, depending on the type of application and the size of the company submitting the application. Additional fees may apply for drug master file submissions or other specific requests.
The FDA requires two things of any drug: it must be safe and effective. So if it either is not safe, or it is not effective, the FDA won't approve.
False. When a company produces a new drug for the market, it assigns a generic name to the product. After testing and approval by the FDA, the drug company gives the drug a trade name (often something short and east to remember when advertised).
NDA means New Drug Application. This application is available at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). When the sponsor of a new drug believes that enough evidence on the drug's safety and effectiveness has been obtained to meet the FDA's requirements for marketing approval, the sponsor submits to the FDA a new drug application (NDA). In other words, when a pharmaceutical company creates a new drug, the company must contact the FDA and demonstrate that the new drug has a particular quality and that the drug is safe and effective. In this case, the pharmaceutical company will have to fill out a new drug application (NDA). If the NDA is approved, then the product may be marketed in the United States. The application must contain data from specific technical viewpoints for review. The review is a comprehensive analysis of clinical trial data and other information prepared by the FDA drug application reviewers. A review is divided into sections on medical analysis, chemistry, clinical pharmacology, biopharmaceutics, pharmacology, statistics, and microbiology. For internal tracking purposes, all NDA applications are assigned an NDA number. The NDA number is a six-digit number assigned by the FDA staff to each application for approval to market a new drug in the United States. A drug can have more than one application number if it has different dosage forms or routes of administration. ANDA means Abbreviated New Drug Application. This application is available at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) contains data that, when submitted to the FDA, provides for the review and ultimate approval of a generic drug product. Generic drug applications are called "abbreviated" because they are not required to include preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) data to establish safety and effectiveness. Instead, a generic applicant must scientifically demonstrate that its product is bioequivalent (i.e., performs in the same manner as the original drug). Once approved, an applicant may manufacture and market the generic drug product to provide a safe, effective, low cost alternative to the public. For internal tracking purposes, all ANDA applications are assigned an ANDA number. The ANDA number is a six-digit number assigned by the FDA staff to each application for approval to market a generic drug in the United States. A generic drug must be the same as the brand-name drug in dosage, safety, strength, how it is taken, quality, performance, and intended use. Before approving a generic drug product, the FDA requires many rigorous tests and procedures to assure that the generic drug can be substituted for the brand-name drug. The FDA bases evaluations of substitutability or "therapeutic equivalence" of generic drugs on scientific evaluations.
There is a new drug that has just been approved by the FDA called Marquis.

A Type I error is committed whenever a true null hypothesis is rejected. A Type II error is committed whenever a false null hypothesis is accepted. The best way to explain this is by an example. Suppose a company develops a new drug. The FDA has to decide whether or not the new drug is safe. The null hypothesis here is that the new drug is not safe. A Type I error is committed when a true null hypothesis is rejected, e.g. the FDA concludes that the new drug is safe when it is not. A Type II error occurs whenever a false null hypothesis is accepted, e.g. the drug is declared unsafe, when in fact it is safe. Hope this helps.
FDA drug testing if very thourough and extensive. It could take up to 4 years for a new drug to be deemed safe enough for sale in the U.S.
