Description

In the Federal Register of July 8, 1997 (62 FR 36558), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the availability of the revised Form FDA 356h, Biologics License Application (BLA) entitled “Application to Market a New Drug, Biologic, or an Antibiotic for Human Use.” This document provides guidance on the content and format of the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section and the EstablishmentDescription section of a Biologics License Application for a Human Plasma-Derived Biological Product, Animal Plasma or Serum-Derived Product. For these products, FDA is now implementing the BLA (revised Form FDA 356h) and will accept that application, instead of two separate license application submissions, the product license application (PLA) and the establishment license application (ELA).
