With the evolving Regulatory enforcement for advanced therapies, such as, cellular and gene therapy products and other complex biologics/biosimilars that require extensive evaluation of quality, safety and efficacy aspects of drug products, Health authorities started implementing the risk-based review procedures for Biologics License Applications (BLAs) approval. As a result, there might be chances for missing out on mandatory information in the Biologics License Applications that could lead to an RTF (Refuse-to-File) action by the US FDA. Therefore, BLA sponsors prefer to be associated with a substantial Regulatory partner with significant experience in Regulatory consulting for Biologics and Biosimilar products. Freyr assists sponsors with end-to-end Regulatory support for BLA submission process, starting from pre-BLA meetings/BPD meetings to post-approval LCM (Life Cycle Management) activities. Additionally, our highly experienced team members provide Regulatory support for marketing authorizations and required LCM for various biological products that are approved in both Regulatory paths (i.e. 351(a) innovator biologics Regulatory pathway and 351(k) Biosimilar Regulatory pathway).
