GlobeNewswire Inc

Alvotech (NASDAQ: ALVO), a global biotech company specializing in the development and manufacture of biosimilar medicines for patients worldwide, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a complete response letter (CRL) for Alvotech’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for AVT02, a high-concentration biosimilar candidate for Humira® (adalimumab). The CRL noted that certain deficiencies, which were conveyed following the FDA’s reinspection of the company’s Reykjavik facility that concluded on March 17, 2023, must be satisfactorily resolved before the application can be approved. No other deficiencies in the application were noted by the FDA. Alvotech provided the FDA comprehensive responses to the inspection observations on April 3, 2023, and is awaiting communication from the agency assessing those responses.
Alvotech’s second BLA for AVT02, which contains data to support approval as a biosimilar and additional information supporting potential interchangeability designation – remains under review by the FDA, with a Biosimilar User Fee Amendment (BsUFA) goal date of June 28, 2023. Satisfactory outcome of the facility reinspection remains the key requirement for approval.

“We look forward to working with the FDA to resolve any outstanding issues identified in the reinspection,” said Robert Wessman, Chairman and CEO of Alvotech. “We are committed to manufacturing AVT02 for patients in the United States, especially a potentially differentiated Humira biosimilar that provides a high-concentration formulation and is interchangeable.”
