Amicus Therapeutics announces regulatory and clinical updates for AT-GAA in Pompe disease
10 September 2018 - Amicus Therapeutics announced today regulatory and clinical advancements in its development program AT-GAA for Pompe disease.
During the third quarter, Amicus held a Type C meeting with the United States FDA in order to discuss the regulatory path for AT-GAA. Specifically, Amicus sought input on the design of a pivotal study for full approval for AT-GAA, other supplemental clinical studies in Pompe disease patients, and whether Amicus may pursue an Accelerated Approval pathway in the United States at this time. Amicus has now received final written minutes from the Type C meeting, in which the FDA noted “the importance of expediting new treatments to Pompe patients as fast as possible.”
Amicus has incorporated key elements of feedback from the FDA, including the Type C meeting, along with the prior scientific advice received from the EMA and plans to initiate a pivotal study in 2H18.
