Pre-Launch Activities Importation Requests (PLAIR)
|
USFDA’s PLAIR program allows
the foreign drug product manufacturer for the
importation of an unapproved finished dosage form drug product in preparation
for market launch. [Based on anticipated approval of a
pending new drug application (NDA) or an abbreviated new drug application
(ANDA)].
An overseas manufacturer can
import unapproved finished dosage form drug product into the US after the PLAIR
has been granted and the Division of Import Operations has been notified of the
entry number.
Typically, the PLAIR approval
process will take approximately 10 business days from the date of submission;
however, the processing time may be longer or shorter, depending on the number
of requests received by FDA and other aspects of the request.
A PLAIR amendment can be
submitted after the PLAIR has been granted. A PLAIR amendment may take up to 1-
2 business day(s) to process, however, the processing time may be shorter or
longer, depending on the number of amendments received by FDA.
Important
Facts to Remember

A PLAIR can only be
submitted for an original pending application for unapproved finished dosage
drug product (no more than 60 days prior to anticipated approval or goal date).
It does not apply to approved drug applications with a pending supplement.
|
A PLAIR can only be
submitted for an unapproved finished dosage form drug product (not for API or
a bulk drug ingredient).

The PLAIR request should
be submitted by the sponsor or the applicant holder on firm’s letterhead.
|
Before submitting a
PLAIR, foreign drug product manufacturer must ensure the actual quantities planned
to import.
|
The quantity of drug
product imported into the US must match with the quantity stated in the
original PLAIR submission.
|
The PLAIR request
should be submitted only to the email address, CDER-OCPLAIR@fda.hhs.gov, at
least one month before the proposed arrival date of the shipment to allow
sufficient time to process the request but no more than 60 days prior to
anticipated approval.
