Once-daily beta-agonist for COPD earns FDA panel support


 

AT A MEETING OF THE FDA'S PULMONARY-ALLERGY DRUGS ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The LABAs currently approved by the FDA are salmeterol, formoterol, and indacaterol.

The FDA usually follows the recommendations of its advisory panels, which are not binding. Panelists have been cleared of potential conflicts of interest related to the topic of the meeting, although a panelist may be given a waiver, but none were granted at this meeting.
