BioCryst Pharma Says FDA Grants Fast Track Designation For BCX4161 - Quick Facts
(RTTNews) - BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BCRX) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or FDA has granted Fast Track designation for BCX4161, a novel, orally administered, selective inhibitor of plasma kallikrein in advanced clinical development for the treatment of hereditary angioedema.
BioCryst is enrolling HAE patients in the OPuS-2 trial of BCX4161; a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial conducted in the U.S. and certain EU countries, with the goal of demonstrating the efficacy and safety of BCX4161 treatment for 12 weeks in approximately 100 patients with HAE. BioCryst expects to report results from OPuS-2 by the end of 2015.
The Fast Track designation process of the FDA is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review and approval of drugs intended to treat serious or life threatening conditions and that address unmet medical needs.
A drug that receives Fast Track designation is usually eligible for more frequent written communication and meetings with the FDA to discuss the drug's development plan and the collection of appropriate data supporting drug approval. Priority Review and Rolling Review may be granted, if relevant criteria are met. Rolling Review allows a drug company to submit completed sections of its New Drug Application (NDA) for review by FDA on an ongoing basis, rather than wait until the entire NDA is completed and then reviewed.
