In the letter, the FDA stated that the inconsistent progression-free survival and overall survival results and imbalance in post-study treatments make the TIVO-1 results uninterpretable and inconclusive when making a risk-benefit assessment necessary for drug approval, and recommended that AVEO conduct an additional clinical study to support approval of tivozanib for the treatment of advanced RCC.
The FDA also stated that the proposed dissolution acceptance criterion was not supported by the provided dissolution data, and would need to be updated and resubmitted.
