Covis Pharma Responds to Presiding Officer’s Report Summarizing FDA Advisory Committee Hearing

Tuesday, March 7, 2023

ZUG, Switzerland, March 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Covis Pharma Group (“Covis”), today announced it has submitted a response to the Presiding Officer’s report summarizing the October 17-19, 2022 public hearing and providing recommendations on the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research’s (CDER) proposal to withdrawal approval for Makena® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection), the only FDA-approved treatment to reduce the risk of preterm birth in pregnant women who have had a prior spontaneous preterm birth.

Key Points: 
  • Covis appreciates the opportunity it was afforded to present its view that relevant safety and efficacy data continue to support the approval of Makena, at least in a narrower indication.
  • Nevertheless, Covis respects the recommendations of the Obstetrics, Reproductive, and Urologic Drugs Advisory Committee, and, in light of its recommendations, is seeking to voluntarily withdraw the Makena NDA.
  • Shortly after the hearing, Covis outlined a plan for voluntary withdrawal that would have obviated the need for further proceedings.
  • As the company awaits a final decision by the FDA, Makena remains approved and the product label is unchanged at this time.
