As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2023, AVITA Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) submitted a premarket approval supplement application (the “PMA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for its latest device, RECELL GO™. The submission initiated a prioritized, interactive review of the PMA under the FDA’s Breakthrough Device program, which follows a 180-day review cycle.
At the halfway point of the process, the Company received notice from the FDA that additional information regarding the PMA is required for the continuation of a substantive review. This request, which is not unique to the Breakthrough Device Program, places the application file on hold for approximately 4 to 6 months while the Company addresses the FDA's questions. Upon the Company’s submission of a complete response to the FDA’s request, the application will reenter the 180-day cycle, with 90 days remaining in the review period. This timing would imply a product launch between May 1 and July 1, 2024.
