This ODAC reference document goes back to 1993:

With a little effort, you should be able to answer your question—at least for the period from 1993 to the present. Regards, Dew

You mention drugs and ODAC so this doesn't apply but I remember a case with a medical device for depression (Medtronics) that received a positive recommendation and then was given a non-approvable (I believe). One of the most entertaining conference calls followed where the then CEO berated the FDA (he has since been forced to resign). I believe the device was later approved despite the non-approvable.
