OctaplasLG™ will be manufactured at the following locations:
Octapharma AB
S-112 75
Stockholm, Sweden
 
Octapharma Pharmazeutika Produktionsges.m.b.H

A-1100 Vienna, Austria
 
Filing Recommendation
Based on preliminary review of STN 125416_0 by all committee members, this original BLA for OctaplasLG™, pooled plasma (human), solvent detergent treated may be filed.
