What is happening?
ChemoCentryx has filed an amendment to its New Drug Application (NDA) for avacopan for the cure of Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, following consultations with the US Food and Drug Administration. The amendment addresses issues made during the FDA Advisory Committee meeting on May 6, 2021. The FDA has said that the submission is a substantial modification to the NDA and that a new PDUFA goal date of October 7, 2021 would be established.The NDA is based largely on the results of the avacopan Phase III ADVOCATE study for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis. The FDA’s Arthritis Advisory Committee decided 9-9 on whether avacopan’s effectiveness results warranted approval on May 6. They voted 10-8 that the safety and effectiveness of avacopan is sufficient to warrant authorization, and 10-8 that the benefit-risk profile of avacopan at the proposed dose of 30 mg twice day is adequate to support approval.
