Therapeutic Biological Products
On October 1, 2003, FDA transferred certain product oversight
responsibilities from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research (CBER) to the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
(CDER). This consolidation provides greater opportunities to further
develop and coordinate scientific and regulatory activities between
CBER and CDER, leading to a more efficient, effective, and
consistent review program for human drugs and biologics. FDA
believes that as more drug and biological products are developed for
a broader range of illnesses, such interaction is necessary for both
efficient and consistent agency action. Under the new structure, the
biologic products transferred to CDER will continue to be regulated
as licensed biologics.
To
see which product classes have been transferred and which will
remain at CBER, please refer to Transfer
of Therapeutic Products to the Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research.
The therapeutic biological products now under CDER's review
include:
- Monoclonal antibodies for in-vivo use
- Cytokines, growth factors, enzymes, immunomodulators; and
thrombolytics
- Proteins intended for therapeutic use that are extracted
from animals or microorganisms, including recombinant versions
of these products (except clotting factors)
- Other non-vaccine therapeutic immunotherapies
