(Nasdaq: ICPT), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat rare and serious liver diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) in response to the Company\u2019s New Drug Application (NDA) for obeticholic acid (OCA) for the treatment of pre-cirrhotic fibrosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).<\/p>\n<p>The FDA indicated in the CRL that it has completed its review of the NDA and determined that it cannot be approved in its present form. Based on the content of the CRL, any resubmission of an NDA for OCA in NASH would require, at a minimum, successful completion of the long-term outcomes phase of the REGENERATE study. As a result of the CRL, Intercept has decided to discontinue all NASH-related investment, restructure the Company\u2019s operations to strengthen its focus on rare and serious liver diseases, and drive an accelerated path to profitability beginning in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile this is clearly not the outcome that we have worked toward, I\u2019m proud of the impact that Intercept has made to move the science of NASH forward and bring the field closer to a treatment option,\u201d said Jerry Durso, President and Chief Executive Officer of Intercept. \u201cIntercept thanks the scientists, clinicians and patients whose contributions to the clinical development of OCA in NASH have significantly advanced the understanding of this deadly disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Durso continued, \u201cWe believe that taking decisive action to reshape Intercept will improve our long-term ability to grow our business, innovate for patients, and create value for shareholders. We remain committed to the liver community and will continue to advance our leadership in rare and serious liver diseases where Intercept has deep expertise and a recognized dedication to therapeutic innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Conference Call on Friday, June 23, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. ET<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>The Company will host a conference call on Friday, June 23, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. ET to address the restructuring and provide updated financial guidance.
