Chelsea Therapeutics (CHTP) FDA Advisory Panel Recommendation Could Change Its Trading Levels |
Posted: January 15, 2014 |
Chelsea Therapeutics International, Ltd. (CHTP) Symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a chronic disorder that is caused by an underlying neurogenic disorder, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy or pure autonomic failure. Symptoms of nOH include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, fatigue, poor concentration, and fainting episodes when a person assumes a standing position. These symptoms often severely limit a person's ability to perform routine daily activities that require standing or walking for both short and long periods of time. It is estimated that nearly 300,000 patients suffer from chronic symptomatic nOH in the U.S. and EU combined. CHTP reported that the FDA Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee (CRDAC) voted 16-1 to recommend approval of NORTHERA(TM) (droxidopa) for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in patients with primary autonomic failure (Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy and pure autonomic failure), dopamine beta hydroxylase deficiency and non-diabetic autonomic neuropathy. The FDA is not bound by the CRDAC's recommendation but will take it into consideration when reviewing the New Drug Application (NDA) for Northera. A Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date for the Northera NDA has been scheduled for February 14, 2014. CHTP acquired global development and commercialization rights to droxidopa (L-DOPS), or NORTHERA, from Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. in 2006, excluding Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan. CHTP is a biopharmaceutical development company that acquires and develops innovative products for the treatment of a variety of human diseases, including central nervous system disorders.
