Eli Lil­ly gets a date with FDA ex­perts for once-re­ject­ed rheuma­toid arthri­tis drug baric­i­tinib

The agency is call­ing a ses­sion of its arthri­tis ad­vi­so­ry com­mit­tee on April 23rd to weigh in on Lil­ly’s ap­pli­ca­tion, which was giv­en a stun­ning re­jec­tion for safe­ty is­sues last year that de­railed the phar­ma gi­ant’s ear­li­er promise of scor­ing two new drug ap­provals a year.
