12-4-03: FDA ACCEPTS BLA FOR GENENTECH'S AVASTIN
A Biologics License Application for Genentech's Avastin (bevacizumab) has been accepted by the FDA. As part of the Avastin BLA filing, Genentech requested and has been granted, priority review designation from the FDA. Based on the priority review designation, the FDA has 6 months from the submission date, or by the end of March 2004, to take action on the BLA filing. The final portion of the BLA was submitted under the FDA's Fast Track designation as a treatment for first-line metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with chemotherapy. 'This priority review designation puts us one step closer to delivering a potential new therapy to metastatic colorectal cancer patients and we will continue to work with the FDA as they review our Avastin BLA filing," said Dr Robert Garnick, Genentech's senior vice president, regulatory, quality and compliance.
