PDUFA target action date

Meaning

A target date for an FDA review action under the prescription drug user fee framework. It is not a promise of approval. Dates may be extended, and public disclosure often comes from the company.

In TrialRedline

Calendar entries show where the date came from and whether it is an exact day or a broader period, such as a month. A target date and a published FDA decision appear as separate event types.
