FDA panel to discuss Dyax' angiodema drug

19 January 2009

US Food and Drug Administration's Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee will meet to discuss Dyax' Biologics License Application for  DX-88 (ecallantide) in the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary  angiodema next month.

The submission was based primarily on data from two placebo-controlled  Phase III trials, known as EDEMA3 and EDEMA4. In those studies, DX-88  demonstrated statistically-significant improvements over placebo in both  the primary and secondary endpoints and was found to be well tolerated.
