Novartis said Tuesday that the USFDA marked its investigational sickle cell drug crizanlizumab for Priority Review, which could be the first monoclonal antibody targeting the P-selectin mediated multi-cellular adhesion in sickle cell disease.
Novartis has secured its crizanlizumab (SEG101) Breakthrough Therapy designation US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the prevention of vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) in patients of all genotypes with sickle cell disease (SCD).
The Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted 10 to 3 that the overall Benefit-Risk profile of Emmaus Life Sciences’s Endari for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD) is favorable.
