Overview

Peptide drugs follow specific regulatory pathways that differ from small molecules and large biologics.

US Pathways

  • NDA: New Drug Application for novel peptides
  • ANDA: Abbreviated NDA for generic peptides
  • 505(b)(2): Hybrid application using literature data
  • BLA: For recombinant peptide biologics

European Pathways

  • Centralized procedure: EMA approval for EU-wide marketing
  • National procedure: Single-country approval
  • Biosimilar pathway: For recombinant peptide follow-ons

Key Requirements

  • Comprehensive CMC documentation
  • Comparability studies for generics
  • Immunogenicity assessment
  • Clinical endpoint or bioequivalence studies
