Novo Nordisk A/S: Novo Nordisk discontinues development of vatreptacog alfa following analysis of phase 3 results
Novo Nordisk today announced the decision to discontinue the development of vatreptacog alfa, a fast-acting recombinant factor VIIa analogue for haemophilia patients with inhibitors. The decision follows analysis of the data from the phase 3a trial adeptTM 2. On 9 August, Novo Nordisk announced that a few patients in the trial had developed anti-drug antibodies to vatreptacog alfa, one patient with a potentially neutralising effect.
