Advanced Innovative Partners Receives FDA'S Orphan Drug and RPD Designations for Hepatoblastoma Imaging Biomarker

MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, May 6, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Advanced Innovative Partners (AIP) is pleased to announce that the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) Designation for a radiopharmaceutical for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, diagnosis and clinical management of pediatric patients with Hepatoblastoma (HB).

Roseanne Satz, AIP’s Chief Executive Officer commented “We are very excited to be contributing to advancing management for children suffering from rare diseases. In addition to the award of these designations, we are now completing our IND application enabled by a successful meeting with FDA.”

HB is a malignant hepatic tumor and is the most common pediatric liver cancer. It is more common in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis and can occur in patients with other pre-existing liver conditions. About 5% of HB cases are associated with genetic factors, especially overgrowth syndromes. HB is the most common pediatric liver tumor in children under 5 years old and accounts for approximately 1-4% of all malignant tumors in children. 0.5-1.5 children per million are diagnosed with HB each year in the US, with incidence increasing in recent years.

The FDA defines an RPD as a serious or life-threatening disease primarily affecting individuals aged 18 years or younger that impacts fewer than 200,000 children in the United States. The program is intended to facilitate development of new drugs and biologics for the prevention and treatment of RPDs. Hepatoblastoma is recognized as a rare pediatric disease by the National Institute of Health’s Office of Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD), the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER) and the European Community’s Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products.

Upon FDA marketing approval of the Hepatoblastoma imaging biomarker with RPD designation, AIP would be eligible to receive a tradable Priority Review Voucher (PRV). A PRV allows a company to use the voucher to accelerate the FDA review period of a New Drug Application (NDA). The voucher, if awarded, may be sold or transferred; PRVs have been sold for between US$ 68 million and $ 350 million.
