Protalix BioTherapeutics granted FDA Fast Track Designation for PRX-102 (Pegunigalsidase Alfa)

Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to pegunigalsidase alfa, or PRX-102, the Company’s plant cell-expressed recombinant, pegylated, cross-linked α-galactosidase-A candidate for the treatment of Fabry disease. The FDA’s Fast Track designation is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs and vaccines for serious conditions that fill an unmet medical need.

“We are very pleased that the FDA has recognized the potential for pegunigalsidase alfa to fill an unmet need for Fabry patients,” said Moshe Manor, Protalix’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The data generated in our clinical trials of pegunigalsidase alfa thus far, as well as nonclinical data, as presented to the FDA with Protalix’s application for Fast Track designation, demonstrate that pegunigalsidase alfa has the potential to address an unmet medical need for Fabry patients, such as the prevention of renal failure, improved survivability and a positive impact on quality of life.
