Complete Response from FDA for dasiglucagon to prevent and treat congenital hypoglycemia
Zealand Pharma A/S announced that the FDA has issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for Part 1 of the New Drug Application (NDA) for dasiglucagon for the prevention and treatment of hypoglycemia in pediatric patients 7 days of age and older with congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) for up to 3 weeks of dosing
The CRL is related to the timing of a reinspection at a third-party contract manufacturing facility that was completed in August/September 2024. The third-party manufacturer has not yet received its inspection classification following the reinspection. A prior inspection of the facility had identified deficiencies that did not involve dasiglucagon. These prior deficiencies had been resolved as of this reinspection. The CRL did not state any concerns about the clinical data package or safety of dasiglucagon.
The regulatory review of dasiglucagon is being conducted in two parts under the same NDA. Part 1 relates to dosing of up to 3 weeks and Part 2 relates to the use beyond 3 weeks. Supporting the use of dasiglucagon in CHI beyond 3 weeks, the FDA requested additional analyses from existing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) datasets from the Phase III clinical program. Zealand expects to submit these data by the end of 2024.
