Intercept Faces Uphill Battle for Impending FDA Adcom; Briefing Documents Released
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Briefing documents have been posted (view here) for FDA’s Gastrointestinal Drugs Advisory Committee (GIDAC) meeting to discuss the use of Intercept’s obeticholic acid (OCA) for the treatment of pre-cirrhotic liver fibrosis due to NASH. For context, the OCA adcom is on Friday, May 19, 2023 (previous FENIX insight). Recall, in January 2023, FDA accepted the NDA for OCA seeking accelerated approval as a Class 2 resubmission and assigned a PDUFA date of June 22, 2023 (previous FENIX insight). Of note, Intercept's stock price decreased as much as -22% in intraday trading following the release of the briefing documents. Below, FENIX provides insight into the potential outcome of the OCA FDA adcom.
