Subject:                 RE: One Day Reminder for 1st Committee Meeting for STN 125446/0   Baxter Healthcare Corporation _Coagulation factor IX (recombinant) _ Original BLA

Dear Edward and review team,

 

This email summarizes the 1st Committee meeting for STN 125446/0   Baxter Healthcare Corporation - Coagulation factor IX (recombinant) - Original BLA

 

Issues discussed at the Committee meeting:

 
Ensure the submission is complete.
Response: Submission is complete. Specifically, CMC (chair), APLB, Statistical, DMPQ, and Epidemiology reviewers noted that submission is fileable.
 
Agree the appropriate review level assignment, i.e. a PAS
Response: Original BLA is appropriate.
Ensure a reviewer is assigned to review each section of the application.
Response: Reviewers were assigned to each section of the submission.
Determine if advisory committee meeting is required. If not, then a justification is required in this meeting summary.
Response: No issues requiring advisory committee participation were identified at this time. Advisory committee meeting is not required because indications for the BLA product reasonably overlap with a existing products of this class which includes one recombinant and several plasma-derived factor IX concentrates.

Final decision regarding the advisory committee meeting can be made at the Filing Meeting (scheduled for Thursday, 10/11/2012).
Confirm the review schedule and all future meeting dates. (PeRC and Labeling Meeting)
Response: Review schedule is acceptable. Note that it may be updated when FDA denies the request for priority review.
Identify if consult reviewers are needed in the review process.
Response: No consult reviewers are needed at this time.
Identify any potential issues and confirm adequacy of the data sets.
Response:
1.     Inspection related compliance history already requested as information request.
2.     Statistical part of the submission is not complete at this time, as Baxter submitted the interim data result only.
3.     Chair: Regarding Baxters supporting information provided in the "Request for Priority Review for BLA 125446/0 for the Use of b(4)---------
---- for Prophylaxis Treatment of Hemophilia B Patients", decision was made to deny the request. This decision is supported by Clinical, Epidemiology and CMC reviewers who noted that clinical indications and pharmacological properties of Baxters product do not provide significant advantage over existing products on market.

These deficiencies do not prevent the submission from being filed.
Determine pre-license or pre-approval inspections are necessary. Identify BiMo inspection sites.
Response: Two facilities, Baxter Healthcare Corporation b(4)------------------- and Baxter Healthcare Corporation, --b(4)------------------------------, may be inspected. Decision will be made after the facility-related information including FDA inspection history is reviewed.
Identify follow up activities to be completed before the next meeting (Filing Meeting). 
Response: Issues that may require input from the advisory committee should be discussed prior to the Filing Meeting.

 

P.S. Dear reviewers, if you have additional comments on this BLA please send to the Chair (me) and Edward. Thanks a lot!

 

Best regards,

--mikhail
