Biologics License Application (BLA), BLA Submission, BLA Filing, BLA Submission Process

Biologics License Application (BLA)

Biologics License Application (BLA) - Overview

Health Authorities (HAs) have begun implementing risk-based review procedures for the approval of Biologics License Applications (BLAs) due to evolving Regulatory enforcement for advanced therapies like cellular and gene therapy products, as well as other complex biologics/biosimilars that necessitate a thorough evaluation of drug product quality, safety, and efficacy aspects. As a result, there might be chances of missing out on mandatory information in the Biologics License Applications that could lead to a Refuse-to-File (RTF) action by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Therefore, BLA sponsors prefer to be associated with a proven Regulatory partner with significant experience in Regulatory consulting for biologics and biosimilars.

Freyr assists sponsors with end-to-end Regulatory support in the BLA submission process, from pre-BLA meetings/BPD meetings to post-approval Lifecycle Management (LCM) activities. Additionally, our experienced team provides Regulatory support for marketing authorizations and relevant LCM for various biological products approved in both the Regulatory paths (i.e., 351(a) Innovator Biologics Regulatory pathway and 351(k) Biosimilar Regulatory pathway).

What Our Clients Say?

It is good for submission. And I understand today is a holiday, so I have to thank Freyr team for doing this. FDA called us and is trying to close out the CBE-30 filed in March and wanted these documents as soon as possible. So, I truly appreciate your assistance, even on a day off.

This project, eCTD DMF conversion, was against a very tight schedule and required dedicated resources. Freyr provided the dedicated resources needed to meet our immediate Regulatory filing requirements. Freyr was always on schedule/or exceeded the dates outlined in the project plan. All changes were handled within 24 hours and notifications of changes were promptly provided. This project is not yet complete but has been very successful at this point.

Excellent! Congratulations to the team for this accomplishment! Thank you everyone for your hard work on this. In addition, please let us know what is needed for the submission of the Type III DMF to Health Canada. I assume we will need to update some of the initial administrative documents, but most of the content is identical to the Type IV DMF.

And given the industry we are in and how we operate, it is possible to realize our dreams only with the help of partners like you - who share our beliefs and push hard with their own collective might.
