QIDP 4th edition
Status 8/3/2015

>>> For the latest QIDP list, please click HERE  <<<

Since our last QIDP blog from April 8, 2015, several new drugs have made the list which now includes 41 compounds. Below a table which includes compound, sponsor and development stage (Phase). It also indicates whether a drug has been the topic of a more detailed write-up here in our blog pages. As before, the table is searchable.

This is a snapshot of a dynamic situation. If I made a mistake or omitted a drug which should have been included, please leave me a comment.
