FDA to review Regeneron’s Eylea for diabetic retinopathy

September 13, 2018 By Sarah Faulkner

Regeneron - updatedRegeneron Pharmaceuticals (NSDQ:REGN) said today that the FDA plans to review the supplemental biologics license application for Regeneron’s Eylea aflibercept injection for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.

The U.S. agency plans to make a decision about the blockbuster drug by May 13, 2019.

Regeneron’s Eylea is dosed using a two-milligram intravitreal injection and is already approved to treat wet age-related macular degeneration, macular edema following retinal vein occlusion, diabetic macular edema and DR in patients with DME.

In March, Regeneron announced results from a Phase III trial evaluating Eylea in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The study met its primary endpoint after 24 weeks – 58% of patients treated with Eylea had a two-step or greater improvement from baseline on the diabetic retinopathy severity scale compared to just 6% of patients receiving a sham injection.
