Polaris Group Submits BLA for ADI-PEG 20 to US-FDA for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Polaris Group has announced the initiation of the rolling submission of its Biologic License Application (BLA) for ADI-PEG 20 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This submission aims to seek approval for the systemic treatment of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma featuring non-epithelioid histology, in combination with a platinum agent and pemetrexed.
The decision to pursue a rolling submission follows the positive outcomes of the phase 3 trial of ADI-PEG 20, meeting both primary and secondary objectives related to progression-free survival and overall survival. The rolling submission approach allows the company to submit completed modules of the BLA progressively, potentially expediting the regulatory review process and approval timeline.
The initial submission covers the nonclinical and clinical components of the BLA for ADI-PEG 20, with plans to finalize the remaining chemistry, manufacturing, and controls components in the coming months. Polaris Group aims to actively seek priority review status for the BLA upon the final submission, a designation that, if granted, could further accelerate the regulatory review process.
