ADVENTRX Meets Primary Endpoint in ANX-530 Marketing-Enabling Clin...(U.S. Food Drug & Cosmetic Act (FDCA) all...),Health

Date:11/16/2007

U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FDCA) allows the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve a follow-on drug on the basis of data in the scientific literature or conclusions regarding safety or effectiveness made by the FDA in the approval of other drugs. This regulatory pathway potentially makes it easier for drug manufacturers to obtain rapid approval of new forms of drugs based on the FDA's approval of the original drug. Some examples of products that may be allowed to follow a 505(b)(2) path to approval are drugs that have a new dosage form, strength, route of administration, formulation or indication. Upon approval, a drug may be marketed only for the FDA-approved indications in the approved dosage forms. Further clinical trials are necessary to gain approval for the use of the product for any additional indications or dosage forms. To the extent a Section 505(b)(2) applicant is relying on the FDA's findings for an already-approved drug, the applicant is required to certify to the FDA concerning any patents listed for the approved drug in the FDA's Orange Book publication, which may include a certification that listed patents are invalid or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of the new drug.
