Regulatory Update for Teplizumab At-Risk Type 1 Diabetes
On 22 November 2021, PRVB provided a regulatory update for the Teplizumab At-Risk Type 1 Diabetes Approval Pathway. The company is ecstatic that they were able to achieve an agreement with the FDA on moving forward with the popPK model. This allows them to create comparability data.
PRVB is pleased by these preliminary findings, which they feel are compatible with the knowledge of teplizumab’s target-mediated clearance process and might potentially explain the discrepancies seen in the initially disclosed single, fractional low dosage PK/PD investigation in healthy volunteers. Last but not the least, they intend to continue the conversations with the FDA as they examine the data and determine the next steps toward the Company’s aim of eventually giving teplizumab to T1D patients at risk of developing the end-stage insulin-dependent illness.
