The USA's PPD says marketing partner Japan's Takeda has submitted a New Drug Application to the Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare for alogliptin, a highly- selective dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Under the terms of the firms' agreement, the submission will trigger a $3.0-million milestone payment to PPD. The drug was accepted for filing by the US Food and Drug Administration earlier this year (Marketletter March 10). Takeda bought the rights to the agent from PPD for an upfront fee of $15.0 million in 2005.
