#marketwatch Sweden’s Sobi - Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) has kicked off a rolling biologics license application in the US for SEL-212, vying to become a new option for patients with refractory chronic gout that doesn’t respond to current treatments. For patients with gout who cannot get relief using standard therapies, daily life can be a painful, debilitating experience. The disease is a painful form of inflammatory arthritis caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood resulting in crystals being deposited in and around joints, causing swelling, discolouration, and often excruciating pain. #gout #inflammatoryarthritis

The draft guidance spells out the way trial sponsors should structure diversity action plans (DAPs) to increase enrolment of subjects from historically underrepresented communities. #clinicaltrials #FDA
