Gadopiclenol: another milestone achieved

Bracco is very excited about the Priority Review granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the New Drug Application (NDA) of the investigational high-relaxivity, macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) Gadopiclenol, which follows the acceptance of the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) made by Guerbet for the product in the European Union, as well as a duplicate MAA by Bracco.

"A Priority Review designation means that FDA will take action months earlier compared with standard applications, and is a recognition by the U.S. Agency about the possible improvements in safety and/or effectiveness that Gadopiclenol, if approved, could provide to patients and to MRI healthcare professionals"

"It is a very important milestone in the collaboration between Guerbet and Bracco to bring this new MR agent to clinical fruition in the earliest possible time."
