CTD application format only applicable to BLAs for this subset of products? Vaccines Plasma Derivatives Monoclonal Antibodies Allergenic Extracts Biotech DerivedTherapeutics BloodComponents Peptides ICH CTD? Whole Blood SomaticCell & GeneTherapy Blood Related Devices Tissues Xenotransplantation
BLA - Section 601.2Application for Biologics Licenses • Describes content of application • Describes procedures for filing
NDA - Section 314.50Content and Format of Application • Describes form and content, e.g., • Application form • Numbers of copies (archival copy) • Index • Summaries • Case report tabulations • Case report forms • Labeling • etc.
The question is NOT “Will CBER be accepting the CTD instead of the BLA?” The question being asked is “Will the CTD application format be applicable to all BLAs?”
NDA - Section 314.50 Describes content of application Describes procedures for filing Describes format BLA - Section 601.2 Describes content of application Describes procedures for filing DOES NOT describe format Application Format - Regulatory Requirements?
Migration from ELA/PLA to BLA Construct BLA req’ments and Form 356h format • ELA/PLA • Req’ments Issue guidance for content & format for product categories
BLA/Form 356h Issuance of Guidances • 8/96: Therapeutic rDNA-derived products and monoclonal antibody products for in vivo use • 1/97: Autologous somatic cell therapy products • 1/99: Vaccines & related products • 2/99: Plasma derivatives, animal plasma, serum-derived products • 3/99: Biological in-vitro diagnostics • 4/99: Allergenic extracts or allergen patch tests • 5/99: Human blood & blood components
BLA Content • Req’ments • “CMC” guidance • “CMC” guidance • “CMC” guidance Formatting of BLA to CTD Construct CTD BLA Revise guidance for new format
CBER’s Acceptance of CTD • Question of acceptance of CTD format prior to issuance of guidance • Use of CTD format not precluded in advance of guidance • URGE early communication -- assure all required content included in submission
CBER’s CTD Implementation Process • Revise “CMC” guidances to map CTD to BLA • “Specified Products” currently in process • Staff training • Workshops likely
