Summary

Description

Following the 1961 thalidomide tragedy in the U.S. President John F. Kennedy signed the 1962 Drug Amendments to the 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This amendment required that new drugs be approved on the basis of evidence submitted to FDA from pre-marketing clinical studies demonstrating not only safety, but efficacy as well. FDA’s implementation of the new requirement, upheld by the Supreme Court, revolutionized the drug supply of the U.S. in the decades to follow.
