Axogen's Avance Nerve Graft BLA PDUFA Date Extended to December 5

Axogen's Biologics License Application for Avance Nerve Graft has been extended by the FDA to December 5, 2025, due to a Major Amendment designation for substantial new manufacturing and facility data. The FDA anticipates providing feedback on product labeling in November 2025.

Axogen, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXGN) has received an extension for its Biologics License Application (BLA) for Avance® Nerve Graft from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date has been pushed back to December 5, 2025, following a communication from the FDA indicating that substantial new manufacturing and facility data submitted by Axogen is considered a Major Amendment to the BLA. This designation allows for additional review time, with the FDA anticipating feedback on product labeling in November 2025.

The FDA's decision to extend the PDUFA goal date suggests a proactive approach to compliance and product approval, acknowledging the significance of the new data provided by Axogen. However, this extension may also signal potential delays in product approval, which could negatively impact the company's market position and financial performance. The need for additional time for FDA review and labeling feedback may lead to uncertainties among investors regarding the company's future prospects and timeline for product commercialization.

Axogen specializes in technologies for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair, with various products designed to assist in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. The company's products are available in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The FDA's extension highlights the rigorous review process for biologics and the importance of robust manufacturing and facility data in ensuring product safety and efficacy.
