The FDA has extended its Prescription Drug User Fee Act date for the biologics license application for NT-501, a treatment for macular telangiectasia type 2, according to a press release from Neurotech Pharmaceuticals.

“We are committed to providing the agency any information needed to complete the review of the NT-501 BLA,” Richard Small, CEO of Neurotech, said in the press release. “Neurotech will continue in our effort to bring this important therapy to [macular telangiectasia type 2] patients."

As Healio previously reported, two parallel phase 3 trials of NT-501 met the primary outcome of ellipsoid zone loss, which was measured using OCT.
