ADMA Biologics, Inc. an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics, announced the commencement of operations and initiation of donor plasma collections at its newest ADMA BioCenters location in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
“ADMA continues to successfully advance its ADMA BioCenters expansion strategy, and in doing so, we believe is well-positioned to ensure continuity of plasma supply to support the significant revenue growth targets for the Company’s commercial Immune Globulin (IG) portfolio,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. “With the opening of this Myrtle Beach plasma collection center, ADMA currently collects plasma from six centers and three additional centers are under construction. The Company remains on track to have 10 or more plasma collection centers licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) by year-end 2023, which we believe will support source plasma supply self-sufficiency as well as sustained quarter-over-quarter revenue growth,” concluded Mr. Grossman.
ADMA BioCenters’ newest, state-of-the-art plasma collection center located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina features automated registration, Haemonetics’ Persona® plasma collection solution for the NexSys PCS® system designed to shorten the donation process and increase collection yields, free Wi-Fi wireless network in the donor collection area, individual flat-screen TVs with cable at each donor station, and highly trained and certified staff who put donor comfort and safety first. At full capacity, the center expects to maintain a staff of up to 50 highly trained healthcare workers. Pursuant to updated FDA direction to obtain approval for plasma collection centers, sponsors are now required to collect plasma donations for three months prior to submitting a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) filing. Accordingly, ADMA expects to file its BLA for the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina plasma collection facility in approximately three months and anticipates a standard 12-month BLA review period by the FDA. In the meantime, ADMA is permitted to collect plasma donations at this site and, once the site is FDA approved, ADMA can utilize the plasma collected for further use in the manufacturing of life saving therapies.
