Regeneron Pharmaceuticals said it received a complete response letter from the Food and Drug Administration for its aflibercept 8 mg biologics license application, adding the letter involves inspection findings at a third-party filler.

Regeneron said "no issues with clinical efficacy or safety, trial design, labeling or drug substance manufacturing were identified in the CRL." The company also said it is committed to working with the FDA and the third-party filler to bring aflibercept 8 mg diabetic macular edema treatment to patients as soon as possible.

Aflibercept 8 mg is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Bayer AG.

Regeneron also reported two-year results from a trial of aflibercept, which the company said "demonstrate durable vision gains at extended dosing intervals in diabetic macular edema."

Two-year data from a trial for aflibercept 8 mg in wet age-related macular degeneration are expected in the third quarter, Regeneron said.
