The drugmaker said the application was granted priority review and has an action date of October 24.
"We know Zejula plays an important role in helping women with ovarian cancer whose disease has progressed despite initial therapy," said Hal Barron, chief scientific officer & president at GSK's Research & Development unit.
"Our hope is that over time, our ongoing clinical trials will demonstrate that this medicine can benefit even more patients," added Barron.
