Biohaven's Taldefgrobep Alfa Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Biohaven announced that it received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for taldefgrobep alfa, a novel anti-myostatin adnectin, for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Fast Track designation enables important new drugs to reach patients earlier by facilitating more frequent communications with the FDA and expeditious review of a drug which treats a serious condition and fills an unmet medical need. Biohaven previously received orphan drug designation from the FDA for taldefgrobep in the treatment of SMA.
