CV Therapeutics submits regadenoson
CV Therapeutics submits regadenoson: CV Therapeutics and Astellas submit an NDA for their novel cardiac imaging stress agent regadenoson May 14. The application is supported by two Phase III trials, which demonstrated noninferiority compared to Astellas' currently marketed stress agent Adenoscan (adenosine). CVT is highlighting a potential safety benefit for regadenoson over competing stress agents, including the market leader Adenoscan (1Pharmaceutical Approvals Monthly May 2005, p. 12).
