Re: BLA 125400 – Deferred Pediatric Study

 

Background: On 2/16/2012, the sponsor had a meeting with FDA on a matter 
unrelated to this BLA. Following the meeting, the sponsor spoke to me about the 
deferred pediatric study for BLA 125400. After looking further into the matter, 
they now believed that they would not be able to enroll enough subjects for they 
study they had committed to on 1/27/2012. If that was their position, I asked 
them to send in an official submission stating their position (submission#31).

 

Teleconference minutes and FDA’s action to submission#31:

 

On internal review of this submission, with FDA CDRH consultation with Dr. 
Robert Betz, and SGE periodontal consultants Dr. Mark Reynolds, FDA believes 
that the study is feasible, and should be conducted. These views are consistent 
with those stated at the CTGT AC on 11/17/2011 for this BLA. Furthermore, FDA 
identified the following deficiencies with the pediatric protocol that was 
submitted on 1/27/2012 (submission#25), and requested the following protocol 
revisions:

 

1) Conduct the study in subjects between 12-18 years old

2) Change the primary efficacy endpoint to AG instead of KT; change the success 
rate from 50% to 65%; sample size will be ~75 evaluable subjects

3) Either use a two-sided test at 0.5 significance, or a one-sided test at 0.025

4) Submit the final protocol by 12/31/2012 instead of March 31, 2013.

 

The sponsor agreed to conduct the deferred pediatric study, and revise the study 
protocol. This agreement and protocol revisions were submitted in BLA 125400 
submission#35, dated 2/28/2012. The study will be completed by September 30, 
2016 and the final study report will be submitted by March 31, 2017.
