An abbreviated licensure pathway for biologics was created by the 2009 Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act. Biologics demonstrated to be biosimilar to or interchangeable with FDA-approved products can use the 351(k) biologics license application pathway. Biosimilars BLAs submitted under the 351(k) pathway have a 12 month user fee goal for FDA action. Updated weekly.
