NMPA (国家药监局) drug-APPROVAL events — a specific drug cleared for marketing, granted conditional approval, or given an expanded indication in China — as opposed to nmpa_updates, which is regulatory policy news. 批准新药创新药获批上市 NMPA新药批准. Answers “latest NMPA drug approvals in China”, “2026年8月NMPA批准的新药”, “what new drugs did China approve this month”, “recent Chinese biotech drug approvals”. Sourced from HKEX (Hong Kong Exchange) disclosure filings: any Hong Kong-listed biotech announces an NMPA approval as a regulatory disclosure the same day, and that filing is public and structured. Returns the filing headline (which names the drug and often the indication), the company, the approval date, a best-effort category, and the filing PDF. Coverage is limited to HKEX-listed companies — see coverage_note in the response.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`month`	string	no	A single month, “YYYY-MM” (e.g. “2026-08”). Takes priority over since/until.
`since`	string	no	Earliest approval date, YYYY-MM-DD. Ignored if `month` is set.
`until`	string	no	Latest approval date, YYYY-MM-DD. Ignored if `month` is set.
`query`	string	no	Filter to filings whose headline or company name contains this text (drug name, code like “TY-9591”, or company like “HUTCHMED”).
`limit`	number	no	Maximum approvals to return, 1-40 (default 15).
