FDA approves non-insulin Type 2 diabetes drug for kids, the first to hit market in 20 years
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved Novo Nordisk's Victoza, a liraglutide injection, for the treatment of young patients 10 years or older with Type 2 diabetes. Although Victoza has been FDA-approved to treat adults with Type 2 diabetes since 2010, it is the only non-insulin drug approved for children other than metformin, which was approved for pediatric use in 2000. "Victoza has now been shown to improve blood sugar control in pediatric patients with Type 2 diabetes. The expanded indication provides an additional treatment option at a time when an increasing number of children are being diagnosed with this disease," said Lisa Yanoff, acting director of the Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to keep blood sugar at normal levels. It's the most common form of diabetes, normally occurring in patients 45 years or older. However, in the past two decades, its prevalence among younger patients has dramatically risen. More than 5,000 new cases of Type 2 diabetes are now diagnosed each year in the U.S. among people younger than age 20, according to the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention. Shares of Novo Nordisk have gained 10.8% so far this year, while the SPDR S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF has gained 3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 11.8% and the S&P 500 has gained 15.3%.

Hibbett Sports stock falls after disclosing failure to file 10-Q on time
Shares of Hibbett Sports Inc. tumbled 9.3% in afternoon trading Monday, after the athletic gear retailer said it would be unable to file its 10-Q quarterly report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on time, as it needs to further review its accounting. The company in a filing late Friday said the need for further review follows the recent adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's new accounting standards regarding leases. The quarterly report in question is for Hibbett's fiscal first-quarter ended May 4, in which the company reported an adjusted profit, revenue and same-store sales that beat expectations, and raised its earnings and same-store sales guidance. The company does not expect any material changes in results. The stock has still climbed 8.1% over the past three months, while the SPDR S&P Retail ETF has lost 4.8% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 1.1%.
