Alvotech Resubmits Biologics License Applications for AVT05 and AVT06 to FDA
Alvotech (ALVO) announced the resubmission to the FDA of biologics license applications, or BLAs, for AVT05, a proposed biosimilar to Simponi and Simponi Aria, and AVT06, a proposed biosimilar to Eylea 2 mg. Under a partnership with Teva (TEVA), Alvotech is responsible for the development and manufacturing of AVT05 and AVT06, while Teva is responsible for commercialization. The resubmissions follow the submission of Alvotech's response to the FDA's post-application action letter, or PAAL, related to the company's Reykjavik manufacturing facility. In addition, the company has submitted responses to observations from a routine cGMP surveillance FDA inspection at the facility, completed in May. The company expects the FDA to conduct a six-month review of the resubmitted applications, consistent with the applicable regulatory timelines. AVT03, Alvotech's proposed biosimilar to Prolia and Xgeva, is partnered with Dr. Reddy's (RDY) which, as applicant, is responsible for the U.S. regulatory submission.
