Indevus Receives Non-Approvable Letter From FDA for VALSTAR(TM)
Date:12/19/2007

rket as quickly as possible."

VALSTAR, a sterile solution of valrubicin for intravesical instillation, is the only product approved by the FDA for therapy of bacillus Calmette- Guerin (BCG)-refractory carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the urinary bladder. VALSTAR was removed from the market in 2002 due to impurities in the original formulation and was placed on the FDA Drug Shortages List. Indevus acquired VALSTAR through its acquisition of Valera Pharmaceuticals and after completing the resolution of the impurity issue, submitted a chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) NDA supplement to the FDA in May 2007.

About VALSTAR(TM)

VALSTAR is indicated for intravesical therapy of BCG-refractory carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the urinary bladder in patients for whom immediate cystectomy would be associated with unacceptable morbidity or mortality.

In clinical trials, when provided after transurethral resection, VALSTAR patients had a median 21 months to documented recurrence of disease.

VALSTAR has been shown to induce complete response in only about 1 in 5 patients with BCG-refractory CIS. It is important to note that delaying cystectomy could lead to development of metastatic bladder cancer.
