Bayer (BAYN: DE) has announced that its Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Stivarga (regorafenib) will be reviewed under the US Food and Drug Administration’s priority review scheme.

The decision means that the FDA should provide a decision on the German pharma major’s application within six months, boosting hopes that the company can reverse declining sales of the product.
