Regeneron Pharmaceuticals said the Food and Drug Administration approved Veopoz to treat patients aged 1 year old and up who have CHAPLE disease.

The biotechnology company said the approval of Veopoz addresses pre-approval inspections issues related to the aflibercept 8 mg biologics license application. FDA action on the application is expected in the next few weeks, Regeneron said.

CHAPLE is a rare hereditary disease that can cause potentially life-threatening gastrointestinal and cardiovascular symptoms.

Regeneron said Veopoz would be the first treatment for adults and children with CHAPLE.

There are fewer than 10 patients with CHAPLE disease identified in the U.S., Regeneron said.
