The drug's safety profile remained consistent, with pruritus as the most common adverse event. The findings were presented at the virtual International Liver Congress™ 2020, highlighting OCA's potential long-term benefits.

Intercept Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ICPT) announced that the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the New Drug Application (NDA) of obeticholic acid (OCA) aimed at treating fibrosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The FDA found the benefit-risk profile of OCA uncertain, recommending additional safety and efficacy data from the ongoing REGENERATE study. The NDA, based on 35 clinical trials involving 1,700 NASH patients, is pivotal as there are currently no approved therapies for this disease. The company plans to meet with the FDA to discuss the CRL.
Intercept Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ICPT) announced a postponement of the FDA advisory committee meeting scheduled for June 9, 2020, regarding its NDA for obeticholic acid (OCA) to treat liver fibrosis due to NASH. The delay will allow for the review of additional data that the company plans to submit soon. This change means the FDA's review will likely extend past the PDUFA target action date of June 26, 2020. Intercept remains optimistic about its NDA submission, having previously received priority review and Breakthrough Therapy designation for OCA.
