After AdCom rejection, FDA rebuffs Novo Nordisk’s once-weekly insulin

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has rejected the biologics licence application (BLA) for Novo Nordisk’s once-weekly insulin icodec for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The company did not disclose the details of the complete response letter (CRL) issued by the FDA. But did share that the CRL outlined concerns related to the “manufacturing process and the type 1 diabetes (T1D) indication”. Novo Nordisk also added that the company did not expect to fulfil the requests detailed in the CRL by the end of this year, and consequently will not be refiling the BLA for insulin icodec until next year, at the earliest. The BLA rejection news comes two months after the FDA Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee (AdCom) voted against the approval of insulin icodec for T1D. In a 7-4 vote, the panel found that insulin icodec’s benefits do not outweigh its risks, especially the elevated risk ...

Novo Nordisk Drug Fails Pivotal Test in Hypertension and Chronic Kidney Disease

The Phase 3 results for ocedurenone come less than nine months after Novo Nordisk acquired the drug from KBP Biosciences.

Amgen Puts Its Weight Behind Obesity Drug With Potential Edge Over Lilly, Novo Nordisk Meds

Amgen is confident its injectable obesity drug would have a differentiated profile compared to medications now on the market from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly and it’s now preparing for Phase 3 testing. But an oral obesity drug in Amgen’s pipeline will not advance beyond Phase 1. By Frank Vinluan Amgen aims to challenge the Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly duopoly in the market for injectable obesity medications, and the company is now preparing for Phase 3 testing of an injectable drug candidate that would introduce new competition. While executives are not yet sharing specific details of the clinical data that support these plans, Amgen’s drug candidate could have dosing and manufacturing advantages. The update for the drug, maridebart cafraglutide or MariTide (known in earlier stages of development as AMG 133), came with Amgen’s report of financial results for the first quarter of 2024. CEO Robert Bradway said the company ...

Novo Nordisk’s Awiqli receives CHMP recommendation to treat diabetes in adults

Novo Nordisk has announced that the European Medicine Agency’s advisory committee has recommended Awiqli (once-weekly basal insulin icodec) to treat diabetes in adults. The recommendation from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) was based on positive results from the phase 3a ONWARDS clinical trial programme. Estimated to affect 415 million people worldwide, diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates glucose, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Awiqli works to cover the basal insulin requirements for a week with a single subcutaneous injection. Comprising six phase 3a global clinical trials involving more than 4,000 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, the ONWARDS clinical development programme investigated the efficacy and safety of Awiqli. Results from the programme showed that Awiqli achieved a superior blood sugar reduction and superior time in ...

Novo Nordisk Obesity Pill Flashes the Potential to Beat Wegovy in Weight Loss

An experimental Novo Nordisk obesity pill led to weight loss of 13.1% in a clinical trial, topping results posted in studies of the company’s approved injectable medication Wegovy. It’s early days and more testing is needed, but the preliminary data suggest that this pill has the potential to offer patients superior weight shedding in a more convenient oral formulation. Phase 1 data for the once-daily Novo Nordisk pill, amycretin, were presented Thursday during a company investor event. The study followed participants for 12 weeks. In that span, those who received a placebo lost 1.1% of their body weight. Wegovy, which is administered as a once-weekly injection, was not part of this clinical trial. Published clinical trial results for that drug show it led to weight loss of 5.9% measured at 12 weeks. Wegovy, whose main ingredient is the peptide semaglutide, offers one mechanism of action: activating the GLP-1 receptor to ...

Novo Nordisk Obesity Pill Flashes the Potential to Beat Wegovy in Weight Loss

Novo Nordisk reported its weight loss pill amycretin led to greater weight loss measured at 12 weeks compared to clinical trial results for its blockbuster obesity drug Wegovy.

Reuters

Dangerously low levels of blood sugar—attributed to counterfeit versions of Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic—hospitalized three people in the United States last year, the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) told Reuters. In all last year, the AAPCC revealed that there were 3,316 calls from users of semglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic. It was more than double the number of calls from the previous year and a 15-fold increase from 2019, according to CNN. Most of the calls were for severe episodes of the commonly known side effects of semaglutide, which include nausea, vomiting and stomach pain. Most cases were resolved with intravenous fluids and nausea medications. Of the three dangerous U.S. cases of low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, the AAPCC suspected the users were supplied with fake versions of semaglutide. All three cases were reported from the same regional poison control center, of which there are 55 ...
