FDA Panel Splits on Sanofi’s Diabetes NDA
January 24, 2019
An FDA advisory committee deadlocked on the safety profile for Sanofi’s NDA for type 1 diabetes drug sotagliflozin.
The Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee considered the drug’s safety as an adjunct to insulin therapy to improve glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes. The committee’s vote was 8-8.
Dan Budnitz, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Medication Safety Program, voted in favor of the drug’s safety profile, but said that the FDA should require a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy to ensure patient use mimics clinical trial conditions.
