Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted its plans to address the agency's concerns over its leukemia treatment product candidate.

The London-listed biopharmaceutical group--that develops new therapies and treatments for blood diseases--said Thursday it had submitted a detailed plan for its HEMO-CAR-T investigational new drug, or IND, which was supported by laboratory tests to address the FDA's concerns.

On July 10, the company said the FDA was concerned with the splicing that occurs during the manufacturing of the lentivirus used in its acute myeloid leukemia treatment product.

"We are now working hard to complete the schedule of work set out in the plan and to resubmit the IND as expeditiously as possible in order to move forward with clinical trials of HEMO-CAR-T," Chief Executive Vladislav Sandler said.

Shares at 0734 GMT were up 0.02 pence, or 1.5%, at 1.68 pence.
