European Medicines Agency Accepts Marketing Authorization Application for Asfotase Alfa As a Treatment for Patients with Hypophosphatasia
July 24, 2014 European Medicines Agency Accepts Marketing Authorization Application for Asfotase Alfa as a Treatment for Patients with Hypophosphatasia -- Application designated for review under accelerated assessment process -- CHESHIRE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALXN) today announced that the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for asfotase alfa, an investigational, first-in-class targeted enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP), has been validated and granted accelerated assessment by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The acceptance of this MAA marks the beginning of the review process in the European Union (EU) for this potential new treatment. "HPP is a devastating disease for patients and their families due to progressive deterioration of bones and muscle weakness, which can result in impaired respiratory function, severe disability and death," said Leonard Bell, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alexion. "If approved, asfotase alfa would be the first therapy for patients with this life-threatening disorder." The EU filing includes positive data from 68 patients with pediatric-onset HPP (ranging from newborns to 66 years of age) enrolled in three pivotal prospective studies and their extensions, as well as a retrospective natural history study in infants. In April, Alexion initiated the rolling submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for asfotase alfa as a treatment for patients with HPP with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
