Novo Nordisk files MAA for faster-acting insulin aspart in the EU

4 December 2015

Danish diabetes care giant Novo Nordisk (NOV: N) today announced the submission to the European Medicines Agency of the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for the approval of faster-acting insulin aspart.

Faster-acting insulin aspart is a mealtime insulin for improved control of postprandial glucose excursions and has been developed for the treatment of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Faster-acting insulin aspart is insulin aspart (NovoRapid) in a new formulation in which two new excipients have been added to ensure early and fast absorption.

Novo Nordisk expects to file the new drug application for faster-acting insulin aspart with the US Food and Drug Administration before year-end 2015.
