FDA To Accept Wright’s PMA Amendment For Augment Bone Graft

The agency has agreed to accept Wright Medical’s PMA amendment for its embattled Augment bone graft, saving the firm from going to a dispute resolution panel this spring.

In a rare change of heart, FDA has agreed to accept Wright Medical Group NV’s PMA amendment with additional clinical data for its Augment bone graft instead of proceeding with a planned meeting of the agency’s dispute resolution panel, Wright announced March 10.

Wright said the PMA amendment, which the firm expects to submit around March 31, will include analyses of pre-existing radiographic films of clinical study patients before and after the procedure.
