Amicus Therapeutics Receives Notification of PDUFA Date Extensions for AT-GAA

PHILADELPHIA, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FOLD) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the review period by 90 days for the Biologics License Application (BLA) for cipaglucosidase alfa and the New Drug Application (NDA) for miglustat, the two components of AT-GAA. The revised PDUFA action dates for miglustat and cipaglucosidase alfa are August 29, 2022 and October 29, 2022, respectively. The Company continues to expect the FDA to approve the applications together.

The FDA extended the PDUFA dates to allow additional time to review information submitted by the Company as part of its ongoing reviews. The extension of the review timeline was not related to requests for any additional clinical data. The Company also expects that the additional time will allow for the completion of the pre-license approval inspections necessary at the WuXi Biologics manufacturing site in China.

“We continue to work collaboratively with the FDA as it completes its review of the AT-GAA applications,” said John F. Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Amicus Therapeutics. “We want to thank the FDA for its continued diligence during the review process. We remain deeply committed to bringing AT-GAA to as many people living with Pompe disease as quickly as possible and delivering on our promise to become the potential new standard of care.”
