FDA Grants Trofinetide Priority Review

Categories: Blog, Homepage

ACADIA has shared the exciting news that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed the documents received as part of the New Drug Application (NDA) for trofinetide, and they have determined that the application is complete and can be filed. They also determined that trofinetide qualifies for Priority Review. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) dictates that from the date of the NDA filing, the FDA has 6 months to review the NDA and share the result with ACADIA. The date of the decision is called the PDUFA action date and the PDUFA date is March 12, 2023.

QUICK FACTS:

  • Trofinetide is not currently approved by the FDA.
  • The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) acknowledged receipt of a New Drug Application (NDA) for Trofinetide on Sept. 12, 2022.
  • Now the FDA will review the NDA for Trofinetide.
  • The FDA will make its decision on March 12, 2023, as to whether Trofinetide will be an approved drug for Rett syndrome.
  • If Trofinetide receives FDA approval in 2023, additional work will be needed before it becomes commercially available by prescription (manufacturing, insurance coverage determinations).
