SAN DIEGO, Jan. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ:ADMP) (“Company” or “Adamis”) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has accepted for review the Company’s New Drug Application (“NDA”) for its Epinephrine Pre-filled Syringe (“PFS”) product candidate for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis. Filed on December 15, 2016, the resubmission was intended to address the issues raised by the FDA in the agency’s June 2016 Complete Response Letter (“CRL”). The FDA indicated that it considered the resubmission to be a complete response to the CRL.
About the Product
Adamis’ EPINEPHRINE INJECTION, USP, 1:1000 (0.3 mg Pre-filled single dose syringe) (PFS) was designed as a lower cost alternative to market leading auto-injectors. Adamis’ PFS provides a single-dose of epinephrine, which is considered the drug of choice for immediate administration in acute anaphylactic reactions to insect stings or bites, foods (such as nuts), drugs and other allergens, as well as idiopathic or exercised-induced anaphylaxis.
About Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a serious, sometimes life-threatening allergic reaction. The most common anaphylactic reactions are to foods, insect stings, medications and latex. According to information published by industry sources reporting on findings from a 2009-2010 study, up to 8% of U.S. children under the age of 18 have a food allergy, and approximately 38% of those with a food allergy have a history of severe reactions. Anaphylaxis requires immediately medical treatment, including an injection of epinephrine. The number of prescriptions for epinephrine products has grown annually, as the risk of anaphylaxis has become more widely understood. Based on industry data, Adamis estimates that sales of prescription epinephrine products in 2015 were approximately $1.2 billion.
