I'm wondering if the FDA has guidelines on how effective a drug must be to get approval. If there were no or few other drugs on the market to treat a specific condition, would they approve something that had a lower efficacy rating as opposed to a proposed drug for which there are many alternatives available?
I'm also wondering what, if any, type of political appointments (other than commissioner) are made there.
