Spectrum submitted a Biologics License Application to FDA for ROLONTIS as a treatment for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in December 2018. Spectrum voluntarily withdrew its BLA in March 2019 and resubmitted the application in October 2019. The company claimed that the viability of ROLONTIS and the preparations the Company had made in advance of the FDA’s inspection of its manufacturing facility. In reality, the ROLONTIS manufacturing facility maintained deficient controls which decreased the prospects that the FDA would approve the ROLONTIS BLA in its current form.
On August 6, 2021, FDA issued a Complete Response Letter stating deficiencies related to manufacturing and indicated that a reinspection of the Company’s manufacturing facility would be necessary. After this news, Spectrum’s stock price fell over 21% on August 6, 2021.
