SAN DIEGO, March 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Nasdaq:ADMP) ("Company") announced that today it received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its New Drug Application (NDA) Epinephrine Injection USP 1:1000 0.3mg Pre-filled Single Dose Syringe (PFS) product, for the emergency treatment of acute anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction. On May 28, 2014, Adamis submitted an NDA to the FDA pursuant to Section 505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, as amended, for approval of the Epinephrine PFS product.
A CRL is issued by the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research when it has completed its review of a file and questions remain that preclude the approval of the NDA in its current form. The questions raised by the FDA pertain only to Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) relating to the volume of dose delivered by the syringe, including the ability to deliver volume within the levels contained in the labeling claim and as required by the FDA. No other safety or efficacy issues were raised, and the New Drug Application will remain open until the CMC issues are resolved.
Dr. Dennis J. Carlo, President and CEO of Adamis, stated, "We are reviewing the CRL and plan to request a meeting with the FDA to discuss the letter, including clarifying the product delivery volume specifications. Although we expect to have more clarity with respect to timing, we believe we can satisfy all of the requests in the CRL and will work closely with the FDA to address the items raised in the CRL and finalize its review of our NDA. Adamis remains committed to bringing the epinephrine PFS to market."
