Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc.has announced the completion of the rolling submission of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the FDA for voclosporin as a potential treatment for lupus nephritis , a serious inflammation of the kidneys caused by the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus.

There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for LN. The NDA submission includes a request for Priority Review, which, if granted, would shorten the FDA’s review of the NDA to eight months from the time of submission, versus a standard review timeline of 12 months.
