U.S. District Court Rules in Veloxis Litigation
PR Newswire - Fri Jun 12, 1:06PM CDT
Veloxis Pharmaceuticals A/S (OMX: VELO) today announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in favor of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the lawsuit filed by Veloxis against FDA. The Court's ruling leaves intact FDA's October 30, 2014 tentative approval of Envarsus XR (tacrolimus extended-release tablets), which delays full approval for use in newly transplanted kidney transplant recipients ("de novo" patients). Veloxis has today submitted revised labeling to FDA with the goal of making Envarsus XR available as soon as possible for kidney transplant patients who wish to convert from twice-daily tacrolimus products to once-daily Envarsus XR. Veloxis expects its amendment to the labeling to be a Class 1 labelling change to the Envarsus XR NDA and subject to a 2-month PDUFA target timeline for FDA review. With an expected 2-month labeling review timeline, Veloxis plans to launch in the conversion segment in 4Q2015 following successful labeling review and approval by the FDA. PDUFA timelines are internal targets for the FDA and are not binding commitments. The actual review timeline may be shorter or longer than the target. Approval in the de novo setting will be delayed until expiration of the exclusivity period for Astellas' Astagraf XL® which will occur in July 2016, or Jan 2017 if pediatric exclusivity extension is awarded to Astellas.
