Ozanimod is a novel, oral, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 (S1PR1) and 5 (S1PR5) receptor modulator. Upon its preliminary review, the FDA determined that the nonclinical and clinical pharmacology sections in the NDA were insufficient to permit a complete review.

Celgene intends to seek immediate guidance, including requesting a Type A meeting with the FDA, to ascertain what additional information will be required to resubmit the NDA.

We remain confident in ozanimod's clinical profile demonstrated in the pivotal program in relapsing forms of MS," said Jay Backstrom, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Regulatory Affairs for Celgene. We will work with the FDA to address all items.
