FDA hits Am­i­cus with de­lay on 'break­through' Pompe drug

AT-GAA, Am­i­cus Ther­a­peu­tics’ lead Phase III drug for Pompe dis­ease, was at the cen­ter of at­ten­tion dur­ing the Q1 call with in­vestors Mon­day. Ex­ecs talked about their high hopes for an ap­proval by the Ju­ly 29 PDU­FA date, and an­a­lysts were ask­ing ques­tions about launch prepa­ra­tion.

The FDA, though, needs more time to make a de­ci­sion.

Just af­ter the mar­ket closed on Tues­day, Am­i­cus put out word that the FDA has pushed back its re­view pe­ri­od by 90 days. The agency was deal­ing with two sep­a­rate ap­pli­ca­tions — a BLA for cipaglu­cosi­dase al­fa and an NDA for miglu­s­tat — for the two com­po­nents of AT-GAA, with PDU­FA dates sched­uled two months apart.
