Drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has launched an abbreviated new drug application for Cozaar (tamoxifen) in the US, the company said Thursday.
The new drug application was filed by GlaxoSmithKline and the US government in the US in late August.
It is the first US application to launch on the same regulatory pathway to market Cozaar in the same indication. The new drug application is the first of a new class of drugs that is to be approved for off-label use in the United States.
GSK will be marketing Cozaar under the same label and labeling as its other major cholesterol-lowering drugs.
The new drug application will provide generic alternatives to the brand-name drug and will be approved in the US by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of heart failure and other related heart disease. The drug is used in heart failure due to its anti-hypertensive effect and for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome.
GSK will also be marketing a generic version of the drug, also called Ambrisentan.
The FDA approved the drug for treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis in adults and patients with severe pneumonia.
In December, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning to the public of the potential side effects of Ambrisentan. The company said the potential side effects were similar to those seen with some other drugs, including the drug used to treat ulcers.
GSK's new drug application is an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), which will be submitted to the FDA in the US for approval.
GSK is not making any payment to the FDA, according to the company. "GSK has been an early adopter of the new drug application."
GSK has already made a payment of $6.5 million to the FDA, but the amount will be split between a $2.5 million and $6 million payment by the FDA.
GSK is also planning to launch a generic version of Ambrisentan as an alternative to the brand-name drug.
The company said it was working on an ANDA for the US market in the coming months.
The company said it will continue to work with the FDA to approve the drug applications for it in the US and to market the brand-name drug to the US market.
GlaxoSmithKline's CEO, John LechleiterGlaxoSmithKline CEO, John Lechleiter, said, "The recent announcement of a generic application for Cozaar for the treatment of heart failure is a welcome sign that we are seeing the launch of more new drugs in the US and in other countries."
The company said the FDA has approved it for the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis in adults and patients with severe pneumonia.
The company said its application to the US market would continue to be submitted to the FDA in the next six months.
GSK is working with the FDA to ensure it receives approval from the agency to launch the new drug application in the US market.
Drugmaker Merck & Co (MSZ) has also made an ANDA for Cozaar, it said in an interview in December. The company said the ANDA would be submitted to the FDA in the next six months.GSK is also working on an ANDA for ambrisentan, which has been approved for use in the US market as an alternative to the brand-name drug.
GSK said the ANDA would be submitted in the same timeframe as the drug applications to be submitted to the FDA in the US market.
GSK said that the company has received approval to launch the drug in the US market in the second half of next year.
