FDA to Lex­i­con: Yeah, that's still gonna be a no from us

Lex­i­con’s last hopes for a quick res­ur­rec­tion of its Type 1 di­a­betes drug in the US have been quashed.

The Texas-based biotech an­nounced that the FDA’s Of­fice of New Drugs has de­clined its ap­peal of the com­plete re­sponse let­ter from the agency re­ject­ing their SGLT1/2 drug. The sec­ond re­jec­tion is the lat­est bump in a long, rough slide for a com­pa­ny whose drug so­tagliflozin once gar­nered $300 mil­lion up­front and $1.4 bil­lion in po­ten­tial mile­stones to be Sanofi’s new prospec­tive di­a­betes block­buster.
