Intarcia Announces FDA Filing Acceptance of NDA for ITCA 650 for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

Intarcia Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the U.S. FDA has accepted for active review its NDA for ITCA 650, an investigational therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). 

Intarcia looks forward to working closely with the FDA through the review process.ITCA 650 provides continuous delivery of exenatide via an osmotic mini-pump placed just beneath a patient’s skin in the abdominal wall. It is designed to do this by leveraging Intarcia’s innovative and proprietary technology, the Medici Drug Delivery System™. In studies, ITCA 650 mini-pumps were given with a 20mcg/day three-month introductory dose and then followed by a 60mcg/day six-month maintenance dose, which translates to twice-yearly dosing after initiation.
