Am­i­cus chief John Crow­ley is snubbed at the FDA on his lat­est pitch for quick drug re­view. He'll be back, but an­a­lyst sees big de­lay

Am­i­cus CEO John Crow­ley’s lat­est pitch to put a new drug on a path­way to ac­cel­er­at­ed ap­proval has run in­to a hur­dle at the FDA. Crow­ley ac­knowl­edged in a state­ment out ear­ly Mon­day that a meet­ing with reg­u­la­tors failed to gen­er­ate much en­thu­si­asm for a quick re­view of AT-GAA (ATB200/AT2221) based on what they’ve seen so far in a Phase I/II tri­al.

But Crow­ley $FOLD, who re­cent­ly over­came the odds in win­ning a re­ver­sal of the FDA’s de­ci­sion to ini­tial­ly re­ject Galafold, isn’t about to stop now. The com­pa­ny says it plans to keep press­ing, just as it did ear­li­er this sum­mer af­ter the EMA al­so held up a stop sign to a con­di­tion­al ap­proval.
