My guess is they are possibly waiting on CE-IVD certification and results of the pilot study (April) before submitting...
"FDA states that their goal is to make a decision on a 510(k) submission within 90 days after they receive it. However, this timeline excludes any “hold days” which can occur for a number of reasons, including an Additional Information Request during the substantive review."
As of the latest available information, Genedrive has not yet submitted their CYP2C19 test for FDA 510(k) clearance. The company has indicated that they have had early pre-submission engagement with the FDA and received positive feedback, confirming their regulatory strategy, but the submission itself is still in the planning stages.
There are a few potential reasons for the delay in submission:
1. Pre-Submission Phase: Genedrive is still in the pre-submission phase, engaging with the FDA to ensure that all necessary data and documentation are in order before submitting. This phase helps clarify the FDA's requirements, which may involve collecting additional data or refining test results.
2. Ongoing Validation and Verification: The company may still be finalizing additional validation or clinical trial data for the test, especially to meet FDA's stringent requirements. This could include collecting more evidence on the test’s accuracy, clinical performance, and safety.
3. Regulatory Strategy Alignment: Genedrive may be aligning the submission timeline with other regulatory goals or market opportunities, like their CE-IVD certification in Europe or ongoing efforts with other markets (e.g., the UK or the Middle East).
4. Other Priorities: Given that the company is simultaneously pursuing regulatory approvals and adoption in multiple regions, their resources may be allocated across different markets.
