As part of the Biosimilar User Fee Act (BsUFA) for fiscal years (FYs) 2018 through 2022, FDA committed to contracting with an independent third party to conduct interim and final assessments of the Program for Enhanced Review Transparency and Communication (“the Program”) for 351(k) Biologics License Applications (BLAs).

The meeting will include (1) a presentation from an independent third-party contractor about its interim assessment of the Program in BsUFA II, (2) an FDA response, (3) perspectives from external stakeholders, and (4) an open public comment period. Registrants will receive more information on how to provide comments prior to the meeting.

This meeting is intended to satisfy FDA’s commitment to host a public meeting about the interim assessment no later than March 2021 (page 14 of the BsUFA II commitment letter).
