RT Journal A1 Lexchin J T1 New drugs and safety: What happened to new active substances approved in canada between 1995 and 2010? JF Archives of Internal Medicine JO Archives of Internal Medicine YR 2012 FD November 26 VO 172 IS 21 SP 1680 OP 1681 DO 10.1001/archinternmed.2012.4444 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archinternmed.2012.4444 AB Monitoring the safety of drugs is increasingly recognized as a major issue in light of recent experience with products such as rofecoxib and rosiglitazone. Previous work found that the probability of new drugs either acquiring a black box safety warning or being withdrawn for safety reasons was 20% over a 25-year period1 and that oncology drugs that were granted a priority review were more likely to be subject to labeling changes than were drugs with a standard review.2
