GlobeNewswire Inc.
Vericel Corporation (NASDAQ: VCEL) today announced the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking the approval of NexoBrid® (concentrate of proteolytic enzymes enriched in Bromelain) for eschar removal (debridement) in adults with deep partial-thickness and/or full-thickness thermal burns. NexoBrid is approved in the European Union and other international markets and has been designated as an orphan biologic in the United States, European Union and other international markets. Vericel holds an exclusive license for North American commercial rights to NexoBrid. Funding and technical support to MediWound Ltd. for development of NexoBrid is provided by the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
The BLA submission for NexoBrid is based on multiple preclinical and clinical studies including the pivotal Phase 3 U.S. clinical study (DETECT) of NexoBrid in adult patients with deep partial-thickness and full-thickness thermal burns up to 30% of total body surface area. The study met its primary endpoint of complete eschar removal as well as all secondary endpoints, including shorter time to eschar removal, a lower incidence of surgical eschar removal, and lower blood loss during eschar removal compared to standard of care (SOC), including both surgical and non-surgical debridement methods. A key safety endpoint, non-inferiority in time to complete wound closure compared with patients treated with SOC, was also achieved. Long-term follow-up data to assess cosmesis, function, and quality of life, including 12-month results from the DETECT study, were also included in the submission.
“The BLA submission for NexoBrid marks an important milestone in our partnership with MediWound, bringing us one step closer to providing NexoBrid as an innovative treatment for the thousands of patients admitted to burn units each year with deep partial-thickness and full-thickness burns who would benefit from rapid and selective eschar removal,” said Nick Colangelo, President and CEO of Vericel. “We look forward, together with MediWound, to working with the FDA during the BLA filing and review process as we seek marketing approval for NexoBrid in the United States.”
Sharon Malka, CEO of MediWound added, “Submitting the NexoBrid BLA has been a team effort and we thank all of the investigators, their teams, our employees and all our partners, especially BARDA and Vericel, for their commitment to the program. This is a major milestone for MediWound and it is gratifying to know NexoBrid is one step closer to being available to help burn victims in the U.S.”
