Lexicon Pharmaceuticals received a complete response letter from the Food and Drug Administration for its treatment of type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The FDA's response, which according to the agency indicates its review of an application is complete and the application isn't ready for approval, was expected and aligns with the pharmaceutical company's previously disclosed decision to discontinue the treatment and focus solely on its clinical development pipeline. Shares fall 9%, to 65 cents, in postmarket trading.
