Merck KGaA, Circassia score FDA approvals in MS and COPD maintenance

April 2, 2019
By Randy Osborne
The FDA ended last week and started this one with drug approvals, clearing Darmstadt, Germany-based Merck KGaA's Mavenclad (cladribine) tablets for relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults – with a label that includes relapsing-remitting disease as well as active secondary progressive MS (SPMS) – and followed with marketing clearance for Duaklir, a fixed-dose inhaled combination from Circassia Pharmaceuticals Inc., of Oxford, U.K., that pairs long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) aclidinium bromide with long-acting beta agonist (LABA) formoterol fumarate for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) maintenance.
