FDA panel backs Glaxo inhaler for adults, not adolescents

2015-03-20 02:54:36| Biotech - Topix.net

The Food and Drug Administration panel of experts voted 18-2 against using the British drugmaker's Breo Ellipta in asthma patients ages 12 to 17. That followed a positive vote of 16-4 supporting the drug's use in asthma patients 18 and up. Breo Ellipta is already approved in the U.S. for a type of chronic lung disease, but Glaxo is hoping to expand the drug's use to the much larger patient population of roughly 37 million Americans with asthma.
