Regulatory Intelligence on Biologics Recalls Immunoglobulins and Vaccines are Involved in More Recalls than Other Drug Classes

Summary

GBI Researchs report, Regulatory Intelligence on Biologics Recalls Immunoglobulins and Vaccines are Involved in More Recalls than Other Drug Classes, provides in-depth analysis of biologics recalls issued or reported with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its constituent agencies. The report analyzes biologics recalls on the basis of the reason for recall, therapy area, drug class, dosage forms and the recalling company, on a year-to-year basis from 20072010. The report is built on data and information sourced from the FDA database of biologics recalls and in-house analysis by GBI Researchs team of industry experts.

GBI Research found that biologics recalls have significantly increased from 20042010 due to a number of underlying causes, which are explained in detail in the report. Of biologics recalls made between these years, recalls for vaccines and immunoglobulins were higher than other drug classes. The reasons for recalls varied from serious adverse events, labeling errors and quality defects, to manufacturing defects. Of the biologics recalled since 2004, the highest number of recalls occurred in 2010, followed by 2008. In 2010, the infectious diseases and immunodeficiency disorders therapy areas had the most biologics recalls.
