Merck has submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for its house dust mite (HDM) sublingual allergy immunotherapy tablet (SLIT-tablet). The application to the FDA is based on results from an extensive clinical development programme that has involved approximately 4,400 patients in North America and Europe and has already seen the product approved in 11 European countries, where it is known as Acarizax. The product has also been launched in Japan, where it is marketed by Torii under the brand name Miticure.
