American drug and biotechnology companies are currently in the process of developing 850 new drugs targeted at women. These drugs, which are either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the FDA, include drugs for breast and ovarian cancer, autoimmune diseases, depression, and Alzheimer's disease.

Among the drugs are an arthritis medication that uses nanotechnology to target and a migraine medication that selectively blocks transmission of pain signals to the brain.

According to PhRMA:

"In separate reports, PhRMA has found that researchers are working on 299 medicines for heart disease and stroke ... and 98 medicines for lung cancer".
