ZURICH--Novartis AG (NVS) said Tuesday its Signifor injectable drug has received U.S. regulatory approval for treating patients with a life-threatening hormonal disorder.
Basel-based Novartis said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had approved long-acting-release Signifor for use in treating acromegaly patients who have either failed to respond to surgery, or for whom surgery isn't an option. The approval comes after two late-stage studies demonstrated the drug provided better disease control than existing therapies.
Acromegaly is a rare disorder caused by the over production of growth hormones, often originating from a benign tumor on the pituitary gland. Roughly 60 in one million people are estimated to develop acromegaly.
Novartis last month received Signifor approval from European regulators for treating the same hormonal disorder.
