Incentives for Filing a Product Through the 351(k) Pathway

Steven Lucio of Novation discusses how Teva's Granix (tbo-filgrastim), which was filed through a 351(a) pathway, was approved for only 1 indication--and it was not the indication considered to be the "most definitive" for that particular product. As a result, uptake of this product may be affected, says Lucio. Conversely, within the 351(k) structure, companies would potentially be able to extrapolate across indications.
