Biologics License Applications (BLA) Submission – Overview
The Biologics License Application (BLA) serves as the critical gateway for the development and approval of biological medicinal products, which play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of life-threatening and chronic health conditions. Biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly developing biologics to address unmet medical needs, making the BLA submission process crucial for timely market access.
Given the US FDA’s focused attention on BLA approvals, applicants face the challenge of selecting the optimal development and submission strategy to ensure a successful filing and approval. Advanced therapies, including cellular and gene therapy products, as well as complex biologics and biosimilars, require rigorous evaluation of quality, safety, and efficacy. Risk-based review procedures by Health Authorities have added complexity to submission requirements, increasing the risk of missing mandatory information and triggering Refuse-to-File (RTF) actions.
X Pharma Plus supports sponsors with end-to-end BLA Regulatory services, from pre-BLA and Biologics Product Development (BPD) meetings to post-approval Lifecycle Management (LCM) activities, including supplements, annual reports, and Lot Distribution Reports (LDRs). With robust infrastructure and specialized expertise, X Pharma Plus ensures comprehensive Regulatory support for marketing authorizations and post-approval management of both innovator biologics (351(a)) and biosimilar products (351(k)) under the US FDA pathways.
