  • 1.  ANDA with two manufacturing sites

    Posted 11-Aug-2014 16:19
    Hello All,

    I would like your suggestion and/or comments on this.

    Can we submit an ANDA with two finished product manufacturing sites (facilities would be very far apart) and if yes, what kind of data would be needed to prove equivalence. Would a BA/BE studies be required for both sites?


    Thanks,
    Mehul

    Hi,

     

    It would depend on what type of product it is.  Immediate release tablet/capsule/soft gel you would only need 1 batch of data from the second site with 3 – 6 months A/S and RT stability data.  No BE would be required.  For some ER or DR tablets, as BE might be required depending on the changes from site to site.

     

     

    Thank you,

    It depends on the dosage form! The primary site should have three batches manufactured (for solid oral-100% of full scale batches etc) and the secondary site if everything is same/similar (i.e. process, equipment etc) one full scale batch would be a starting point to get an agreement from the FDA to approve the second site also! Distance between two sites is not a factor!

    Typo: I meant 10% of full scale batches of primary site!

    So you are asking can the second site registration batch be 10% of full scale?
