What is Johnson Fistel investigating? On September 6, 2022, Eiger provided an update on the status of its planned request for emergency use authorization (EUA) of peginterferon lambda. Following a cooperative and extensive pre-EUA information exchange with FDA regarding the Phase 3 TOGETHER study of peginterferon lambda for COVID-19, the agency has indicated that it is not yet able to determine whether the criteria for the submission of an application and issuance of an EUA are likely to be met. FDA has indicated that it will consider any new information and data from the TOGETHER study to support a EUA as well as the company's plans for the further development of peginterferon lambda for COVID-19. Eiger remains in active dialogue with FDA and will provide additional information to the agency that the company believes could be supportive of a EUA.
