July 15 (Reuters) - British drugmaker AstraZeneca Plc said on Monday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declined to approve its diabetes treatment, Farxiga, for use as a supplement to insulin in adults with Type-1 diabetes.
The company said the regulator had issued a complete response letter, declining its application for using Farxiga in the new indication.
