In May BBDF had its first meeting with the FDA to get input and direction on our plan for clinical trials. This meeting was a huge milestone and an important first step in the process to develop BBDF’s drug combination for the treatment of juvenile Batten disease.

We are happy to report that the FDA gave very positive feedback and it was clear they want to help us reach our goal. To put it into context, our regulatory consultants reported that they had never attended a meeting where the FDA was so interactive, motivated and engaged. The FDA guidelines provide a clear path forward for our program and do include some action items for us to address which will help set us up for success when we submit the final package. BBDF, our consultants and advisors are rolling up our sleeves and getting to work in order to get these Batten kids treated as quickly as possible!
