Frequently asked

Where does the FDA publish drug approvals? +

The FDA publishes novel drug approvals on its Drugs Development and Approval Process pages, with the formal approval letter and labeling on Drugs@FDA. New drug applications, biologic license applications, and emergency use authorizations each have their own publication channel. GovPing tracks all of them, including the Federal Register entries that make the rules binding.

How do I track FDA medical device recalls? +

FDA medical device recalls publish on the FDA Recalls page, with a separate firehose for Class I (most serious), Class II, and Class III. Many recalls also generate Federal Register notices. For non-US devices, also watch MHRA in the UK, BfArM in Germany, and ANSM in France: products often hit those alerts days before US notification.

What is ClinicalTrials.gov and who has to register a trial? +

ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of clinical trials. By federal law, sponsors of Phase 2-4 studies of FDA-regulated drugs and devices must register the trial before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. The registry includes most international trials sponsored by US-based organizations. Non-compliance can trigger civil penalties under the FDA Amendments Act.

Where do hospital licensing actions get published? +

Hospital licensing actions live with state health departments, not the federal government. Each state DOH maintains its own discipline page. Joint Commission accreditation and CMS Conditions of Participation findings are tracked separately. GovPing covers state DOH actions for jurisdictions that publish them online and the federal CMS Survey & Certification surveys that drive Medicare reimbursement.

How fast does the FDA publish drug safety communications? +

Within 24 hours of a serious safety signal, in most cases. Drug Safety Communications and Drug Safety-related Labeling Changes publish weekly on the FDA's Drug Safety website, with REMS modifications and boxed warning additions handled separately. GovPing publishes each safety communication as it lands, with the affected drug, signal type, and recommended action parsed out.
