Despite that result, the FDA is expected to decide by the end of March whether the drug—sotagliflozin, brand name Zynquista—should be made available in the United States, The New York Times reported. The drug, used along with insulin, is a once-daily pill meant to help type 1 diabetes patients manage their blood glucose levels.

Some of the advisory panel members voted against Zynquista because it carries an increased risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, The Times reported.

Drug makers Sanofi and Lexicon Pharmaceuticals said they will continue to work with the FDA through the review process for the drug.
