FDA advisory panel decides tivozanib falls short for advanced renal cell carcinoma


 

AT AN FDA ADVISORY PANEL MEETING

Aveo is developing tivozanib with Astellas Pharma. It is also being studied in combination with other targeted treatments or with chemotherapy regimens in patients with RCC, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer, according to Aveo. It has not been approved in any country.

The FDA usually follows the recommendations of its advisory panels. The deadline for the FDA review to be completed is July 28, according to Aveo. Panelists have been cleared of potential conflicts of interest related to the topic of the meeting. Occasionally, a panelist may be given a waiver, but not at the tivozanib meeting.
