Halozyme Therapeutics (HALO) said Friday the US Food and Drug Administration approved Roche's subcutaneous treatment for multiple sclerosis using Halozyme's drug delivery technology for a faster, twice-a-year 10-minute administration.
The FDA's approval of Ocrevus Zunovo is based on phase 3 trial data, which showed non-inferior levels of the medicine in the blood when administered subcutaneously, and a safety and efficacy profiles on par with the intravenous formulation for both relapsing multiple sclerosis and primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
The company's shares were up over 2% in recent trading.
