We previously reported that after a public meeting held on May 25, 2017, the FDA’s Oncologic Drug Advisory Committee (ODAC) recommended Pfizer’s proposed biosimilar to Amgen’s Epogen®/Procrit® for approval across all indications. The ODAC committee voted 14-1 in favor of approval of Pfizer’s application.
Surprisingly, however, the FDA did not approve the application as expected.
