ADMA Biologics Announces FDA Approval for BIVIGAM in the Pediatric Patient Setting for Those 2 Years of Age & Older

ADMA Biologics, Inc. recently announced the US FDA has approved the company’s supplemental Biologics License Application submitted under section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act for BIVIGAM. The FDA approval represents the final study report for the Pediatric assessment as required in the post marketing commitment. Additionally, the approval provides for a revision of BIVIGAM’s prescribing information to expand the primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI) indication to pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.

“We are pleased to announce that BIVIGAM has received FDA approval for treating PI in patients aged 2 years and older. Previously, the indication for BIVIGAM was restricted to PI patients aged 12 years and older,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. “This expanded label for BIVIGAM allows ADMA to actively address the treatment needs of younger PI patients earlier in their treatment journey. In the periods ahead, we look forward to offering BIVIGAM as an FDA-approved treatment option for these pediatric PI patients.”

“We extend our gratitude to the collaborative efforts of the PI disease community, physicians, and the invaluable contribution of the children and families who played a pivotal role in advancing this clinical program,” said Kaitlin Kestenberg, Senior Vice President, Compliance & Project Operations. “Enrolling and successfully completing these challenging trials is no small feat, and this approval is a testament to the commendable clinical execution and the dedication of the ADMA team.”

BIVIGAM (immune globulin intravenous, human – 10% liquid) is a plasma-derived, polyclonal, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG). BIVIGAM was approved by the FDA in May 2019 and is indicated for the treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI), including, but not limited to the following group of genetic disorders: X-linked and congenital agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and severe combined immunodeficiency. BIVIGAM contains a broad range of antibodies similar to those found in normal human plasma. These antibodies are directed against bacteria and viruses and help to protect PI patients against serious infections. BIVIGAM is a purified, sterile, ready-to-use preparation of concentrated human Immunoglobulin antibodies.

ADMA Biologics is an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics for the treatment of immunodeficient patients at risk for infection and others at risk for certain infectious diseases. ADMA currently manufactures and markets three United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved plasma-derived biologics for the treatment of immune deficiencies and the prevention of certain infectious diseases: BIVIGAM (immune globulin intravenous, human) for the treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI); ASCENIV (immune globulin intravenous, human – slra 10% liquid) for the treatment of PI; and NABI-HB (hepatitis B immune globulin, human) to provide enhanced immunity against the hepatitis B virus. ADMA manufactures its immune globulin products at its FDA-licensed plasma fractionation and purification facility located in Boca Raton, FL. Through its ADMA BioCenters subsidiary, ADMA also operates as an FDA-approved source plasma collector in the U.S., which provides its blood plasma for the manufacture of its products. ADMA’s mission is to manufacture, market and develop specialty plasma-derived, human immune globulins targeted to niche patient populations for the treatment and prevention of certain infectious diseases and management of immune compromised patient populations who suffer from an underlying immune deficiency, or who may be immune compromised for other medical reasons. ADMA has received US Patents: 9,107,906, 9,714,283, 9,815,886, 9,969,793 and 10,259,865 and European Patent No. 3375789, among others, related to certain aspects of its products and product candidates.
