FDA grants priority review for Arixtra®(fondaparinux sodium) in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes
Pivotal trials of the anticoagulant Arixtra submitted to FDA by GlaxoSmithKline
PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 2, 2006 – GlaxoSmithKline plc [LSE and NYSE: GSK] announced today that the supplemental new drug application for its anticoagulant product Arixtra® (fondaparinux sodium) Injection has been accepted for priority review by the United States Food and Drug Administration. This application was based on positive results from two pivotal, Phase III trials (OASIS 5 and 6) that evaluated Arixtra in the treatment of a broad spectrum of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The sNDA was submitted on July 31, 2006.
The filing submission data included the OASIS 5 clinical trial results, which compared Arixtra to LOVENOX (enoxaparin)* in patients with UA/NSTEMI**1, and OASIS 6, which compared Arixtra to standard therapies (unfractionated heparin or placebo) in STEMI*** patients2.
“GSK is very encouraged by the FDA’s decision, based on these two ground-breaking clinical trials with Arixtra in ACS,”said Dr. Lawson Macartney, Senior Vice President, Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine Development Centre, GlaxoSmithKline. “This application supports our commitment to patients, physicians and the cardiovascular community. We look forward to building on our existing indications with Arixtra .”
ARIXTRA is not currently approved for patients with ACS in any country in the world.
