\"Bristol-Myers<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee meeting reached a decision regarding the New Drug Application, by\u00a0The \u00a0Bristol-Myers Squibb Company\u00a0and\u00a0AstraZeneca for the investigational compound dapagliflozin\u00a0for treatment of type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

Dapagliflozin is being investigated as a monotherapy in addition to diet and exercise, and in combination with other anti-diabetic agents in addition to diet and exercise, to evaluate its effect on blood sugar levels (or HbA1c) in adults with type 2 diabetes. Dapagliflozin, an inhibitor of SGLT2, a target in the kidney, would potentially be the first in a new class of insulin-independent, oral type 2 diabetes agents.\u00a0 The drug causes blood glucose to be eliminated through the urine.
The committee voted\u00a06 yes<\/em> and 9 no<\/em> on the question: \u201cDo the efficacy and safety data provide substantial evidence to support approval of dapagliflozin as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus?\u201d.<\/p>\n

Despite the outcome of the meeting, Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca remain committed to the dapagliflozin clinical development program and say they will continue to work closely with the FDA to support the review of this investigational compound.<\/p>\n

The FDA Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee based its voting on a review of data from the comprehensive dapagliflozin global clinical development program included as part of the FDA New Drug Application submission. This submission included data of up to two years in duration and involved approximately 6,000 individuals in 40 clinical studies. The trials were designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy (as measured by HbA1c) of dapagliflozin in the approximately 4,200 patients who received dapagliflozin and were at various stages of the continuum of type 2 diabetes. In accordance with FDA guidelines, the New Drug Application also included data assessing the cardiovascular safety of dapagliflozin in adults with type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

The FDA is not bound by the Advisory Committee\u2019s recommendation but takes its advice into consideration when reviewing New Drug Applications. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date for dapagliflozin is October 28, 2011.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
