Lupin announced that the US FDA has accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for its proposed biosimilar to Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) through a filing using the 351(k) pathway.
The approval of Fulphila was based on a comprehensive package of analytical, nonclinical and clinical data, which confirmed that the product is highly similar to Neulasta and no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and efficacy exist.
The Mundipharma network of independent associated companies says European regulators have approved use of Pelmeg, a biosimilar of Amgen’s white blood cell booster Neulasta.
With an FDA approval for Fulphila, the first U.S. biosimilar to Amgen's Neulasta, Mylan will have its chance to launch a biosim to one of the biggest drug targets in the U.S. market.
