    Hi!

    Please can you help me understand the legislative (CFR) requirements for extractables and leachables for a US marketing application (BLA):

    If I perform an extractables and leachables risk assessment that indicates no risk for any contact materials used for drug substance or drug product manufacture - must I still perform a E and/or L study?

    If so, can I perform a "worst-case" leachables study or is there a mandatory requirement to perform an extractables study?

    Thank you very much in advance for any expert insight!
