Introduction to FDA Review and Approval of Biological Products Introduction to FDA Review and Approval of Biological Products Jason Conaty Hogan Lovells US LLP October 14, 2020 Agenda • Basic principles; definitions and jurisdiction – What a biologic is and where it fits relative to drugs, devices, etc. • Pathways to market • Requirements for approval • Expedited programs • Marketing exclusivity Sources of Law • Public Health Servises Act (PHSA) (1944) – Biological products (biologics) – Biosimilars (2010) • Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (FDCA) (1938) – Food – Drugs – Medical devices – Cosmetics – Tobacco (2010) Centers • Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) • Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) • Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) • Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition • Center for Tobacco Products • Center for Veterinary Medicine Intended Use • Intended use is the objective intent of the person legally responsible for the product’s labeling • Evidence of intended use – Expressions of the person responsible for labeling or circumstances surrounding the product’s distribution – Look to, e.g., labeling claims, advertising, statements by company or its representatives Drugs FDCA 201(g) • The term “drug” means – articles recognized in the official United States Pharmacopoeia, official Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, or official National Formulary; and – articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in man or other animals; and – articles (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals; and – articles intended for use as a component of any [such] article Biologic PHSA 351(i) • The term “biological product” means a virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, vaccine, blood, blood component or derivative, allergenic product, protein, or analogous product, . applicable to the prevention, treatment, or cure of a disease or condition of human beings Drug vs Biologic • Similar to a drug, is “applicable to the prevention, treatment, or cure of a disease or condition of human beings” • A subset of articles – Often thought to mean a product derived from a living source (animal or plant), as opposed to chemically synthesized, but not quite so – Some products that fall within the definition of “biological product” have been approved as drugs, but they were “deemed to have been licensed” as biologics in March 2020 Device FDCA 201(h) • Medical devices, like drugs, are articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, or to affect structure/function of the body • Subset of articles – Distinguished from a drug in that it does not achieve its primary intended purpose through chemical action within or on the body, or by being metabolized Cosmetic FDCA 201(i) • Article intended to be applied to, or introduced into, the body to cleanse (but not a soap), beautify, promote attractiveness or alter appearance – Claims of effect on structure/function can be problematic, which is why you see claims to “reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines” – FDA has taken the position that the presence of certain ingredients that are active ingredients in drugs make a product a drug, regardless of claims Dietary Supplement FDCA 201(ff) • A product intended to supplement the diet that contains certain types of ingredients (e.g., vitamin, mineral, herb) and is intended for ingestion • Permitted to include structure/function claims subject to disclaimer Tobacco FDCA 201(rr) • A product made or derived from tobacco and intended for human consumption, or any component, part or accessory, but not any such product that meets the statutory definition of drug, device or combination product – Distinction is based on intended use; product intended for use in diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, or to affect structure/function is not a tobacco product supplement drug device biologic cosmetic tobacco Pathways • Biologics License Application (BLA) – 351(a) BLA – branded innovator pathway – 351(k) biosimilar • New Drug Application (NDA) – 505(b)(1) NDA – branded innovator pathway – 505(j) abbreviated NDA (ANDA) – generic drugs – 505(b)(2) NDA hybrid pathway • Medical devices – Pre-Market Approval (PMA) – 510(k) clearance Combination Products • Therapeutic and diagnostic products that combine drugs, devices, and/or biological products 21 CFR 3.2(e) – Physically, chemically, or otherwise combined or mixed and produced as a single entity; – Packaged together in a single package or as a unit – Packaged separately, but specifically labeled for use with one another • The constituent components (e.g., drug, biologic, device) can be approved under separate marketing applications (NDA, BLA, PMA/510(k)), or under a single marketing application Jurisdiction • Primary mode of action (PMOA) – An investigational product will be assigned to CDER/CBER or CDRH for lead review depending on the PMOA of the product – If the PMOA is “chemical action” then the combination will typically be reviewed as a drug (or biologic as the case may be) • One marketing application, or two? – When a drug or biologic is combined with a device, there is a strong policy preference for the combination drug/device or biologic/device to be approved under a single marketing authorization, typically an NDA or a BLA • Request for Designation (RFD) – The sponsor of an investigational product can submit a RFD to the Office of Combination Products • Intercenter Agreements – Historically, jurisdictional questions had been the subject of three “Intercenter Agreements” that were entered into by CDER, CBER and CDRH in 1991 – Much of what the agreements covered has since been formalized by rulemaking and guidance Biological Products Protein Therapeutics, BLAs, Biosimilars Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) • Enacted on March 23, 2010, as part of the ACA • Created a pathway for the approval of biosimilars in the U.S. • Created a pathway for making interchangeability determinations for biosimilars • Established 12-year reference biologic exclusivity • Established a system for pre-approval patent litigation between pioneers and biosimilars • The BPCIA also amended the definition of biological product to include added the terms “protein (except any chemically synthesized polypeptide)” • Established a 10 year transition mechanism for consolidating the approval of all biological products under the biologics system (= Protein products) • In December 2019, Congress made a further amendment, striking the exception for “chemically synthesized polypeptides” • As of March 23, 2020, NDAs for protein products were “deemed to be a licensed” under BLAs Proteins • The term “biological product” means a virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, vaccine, blood, blood component or derivative, allergenic product, protein, or analogous product . Proteins Previously Regulated as • insulin products Drugs • somatropin products • chorionic gonadotropin products • desirudin products • follitropin products, urofollitropin products, and menotropins products • hyaluronidase products • imiglucerase products • mecasermin products • pancrelipase products • pegademase products • pegvisomant products • sacrosidase products • somatropin products • taliglucerase alfa products and velaglucerase alfa products • thyrotropin alfa products Regulatory Definition of Protein • “A protein is any alpha amino acid polymer with a specific, defined sequence that is greater than 40 amino acids in size.” • “When two or more amino acid chains in an amino acid polymer are associated with each other in a manner that occurs in nature, the size of the amino acid polymer . will be based on the total number of amino acids in those chains, and will not be limited to the number of amino acids in a contiguous sequence.” 21 CFR 600.3(h)(6 “Full” 351(a) BLA • Under 351(a), a BLA will be approved if it: – Demonstrates the product is safe, pure, and potent – Demonstrates the manufacturing facility meets standards designed to assure that the product continues to be safe, pure, and potent • The regulations add only that the applicant “Shall submit data from nonclinical and clinical studies which demonstrate that the manufactured product meets prescribed requirements of safety, purity and potency.” 21 CFR 601.2 Historical Fexibility • Diversity of products, from blood to vaccines to allergens • Biologics Act (1902): regulated manufacturing and labeling but not the products themselves • Recodified as PHSA (1944): “safety, purity, and potency” • FDCA (1938) and its major amendments left the regulation of biologics untouched • Administration shunted about before landing at FDA in 1972, while philosophy and standards of biologics regulation remained nebulous • FDAMA (1997), Congress instructed FDA to “minimize differences in the review and approval” of biologics and drugs Standard for Approval of a “Full” BLA • The substantive content of a BLA for a modern therapeutic protein is generally seen as coincident with that of a full NDA under 505(b)(1) • In practice, a BLA is expected to conform to the ICH standards for preparing the Common Technical Document (ICH-CTD) • The CTD includes placeholders for specific kinds of preclinical and clinical data • Must contain sufficient data to show that the product is safe, pure, and potent • Each product is approved with a labeling and claims, and each claim must be supported by “substantial evidence” “Substantial Evidence” of Effectiveness • “Substantial

  • List of Approved Ndas for Biological Products That Were Deemed to Be Blas on March 23, 2020
    List of Approved NDAs for Biological Products That Were Deemed to be BLAs on March 23, 2020 On March 23, 2020, an approved application for a biological product under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) was deemed to be a license for the biological product under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (see section 7002(e)(4)(A) of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009). To enhance transparency and facilitate planning for the March 23, 2020, transition date, FDA compiled a preliminary list of approved applications for biological products under the FD&C Act that were listed in FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the Orange Book) and that would be affected by this transition provision. FDA posted this list on the FDA website in December 2018, and periodically updated this list before the March 23, 2020, transition date. The September 2019 update to this preliminary list added certain administratively closed applications related to approved applications for biological products that were on the December 2018 version of this list. The January 2020 update to the preliminary list reflected a change to the definition of “biological product” made by the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, which was enacted on December 20, 2019. Section 605 of this Act further amended the definition of a “biological product” in section 351(i) of the PHS Act to remove the parenthetical “(except any chemically synthesized polypeptide)” from the statutory category of “protein.” FDA has provided below a list of each approved application for a biological product under the FD&C Act that was deemed to be a license (i.e., an approved biologics license application (BLA)) for the biological product on March 23, 2020.

  • September 2017 ~ Resource #330909
    −This Clinical Resource gives subscribers additional insight related to the Recommendations published in− September 2017 ~ Resource #330909 Medications Stored in the Refrigerator (Information below comes from current U.S. and Canadian product labeling and is current as of date of publication) Proper medication storage is important to ensure medication shelf life until the manufacturer expiration date and to reduce waste. Many meds are recommended to be stored at controlled-room temperature. However, several meds require storage in the refrigerator or freezer to ensure stability. See our toolbox, Medication Storage: Maintaining the Cold Chain, for helpful storage tips and other resources. Though most meds requiring storage at temperatures colder than room temperature should be stored in the refrigerator, expect to see a few meds require storage in the freezer. Some examples of medications requiring frozen storage conditions include: anthrax immune globulin (Anthrasil [U.S. only]), carmustine wafer (Gliadel [U.S. only]), cholera (live) vaccine (Vaxchora), dinoprostone vaginal insert (Cervidil), dinoprostone vaginal suppository (Prostin E2 [U.S.]), varicella vaccine (Varivax [U.S.]; Varivax III [Canada] can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer), zoster vaccine (Zostavax [U.S.]; Zostavax II [Canada] can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer). Use the list below to help identify medications requiring refrigerator storage and become familiar with acceptable temperature excursions from recommended storage conditions. Abbreviations: RT = room temperature Abaloparatide (Tymlos [U.S.]) Aflibercept (Eylea) Amphotericin B (Abelcet, Fungizone) • Once open, may store at RT (68°F to 77°F • May store at RT (77°F [25°C]) for up to Anakinra (Kineret) [20°C to 25°C]) for up to 30 days.

The high transmission rate and the emergence of diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants demand rapid and effective approaches to preventing the spread, diagnosing on time, and treating affected people. Several COVID-19 vaccines are being developed using different production systems, including plants, which promises the production of cheap, safe, stable, and effective vaccines. The potential of a plant-based system for rapid production at a commercial scale and for a quick response to an infectious disease outbreak has been demonstrated by the marketing of carrot-cell-produced taliglucerase alfa (Elelyso) for Gaucher disease and tobacco- produced monoclonal antibodies (ZMapp) for the 2014 Ebola outbreak. Currently, two plant-based COVID-19 vaccine candidates, coronavirus virus-like particle (CoVLP) and Kentucky Bioprocessing (KBP)-201, are in clinical trials, and many more are in the preclinical stage. Interim phase 2 clinical Citation: Maharjan, P.M.; Choe, S. trial results have revealed the high safety and efficacy of the CoVLP vaccine, with 10 times more Plant-Based COVID-19 Vaccines: neutralizing antibody responses compared to those present in a convalescent patient’s plasma.
