What is difference between BLA and NDA?
To formally request approval to market a new drug in the United States, Sponsors must submit either a New Drug Application (NDA) or a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA. As their names suggest, BLAs relate to biological products while NDAs generally pertain to traditional small molecule drugs.

How long does it take for a BLA to be approved by FDA?
As per the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), the FDA agreed to review the majority of BLAs within 10 months of 60 day filing and for the priority submissions it has been cut down to 6 months of 60 day filing date.
