In the month of August FY 2018 fees for generic drug application will be published, which will be based on GDUFA II. We have summarized highlights of GDUFA II fee structure and how it will benefit small business.
No fees for ANDA supplement fees
No facility fees for manufacturing facilities with unapproved ANDA
If you are just contract manufacturer and do not have affiliation with any ANDA holding organization then you will pay only one tenth of proposed facility fees.
Now ANDA sponsor companies will pay fixed annual ANDA Sponsor Program fee which depends on the number of ANDAs owned by companies. ANDA fees are divided in three tiers. small, medium and big.
Facilities which manufacture both API and FDF will only pay FDF facility fee, as per GDUFA I both API and FDF fees were applicable to such facilities.
GDUFA II has brought relief to small companies who have no approved ANDA , they need not pay the facility fee until ANDA is approved. Once ANDA is approved facility is applicable from next fiscal year irrespective whether product is in commercial distribution or not.
GDUFA II has also brought big relief to contract manufacturing organizations (CMO) who just manufacturer the product for another ANDA sponsor and do not hold ownership of other ANDAs or affiliated with companies who own ANDAs .
