Strativa Pharmaceuticals Provides Product Pipel...(as informed BioAlliance Pharma Strativa'...),Health

Date:4/9/2009

as informed BioAlliance Pharma, Strativa's development partner, that the agency did not accept its NDA for Loramyc(R) (miconazole) mucoadhesive buccal tablet (MBT) based on the lack of an imprint code on the tablet. Loramyc was approved in the European Union in 2007 and is currently marketed in several EU territories. The EU does not require an imprint code while the U.S. requires an imprint code for drug identification purposes. Prior to the initial filing, BioAlliance initiated the development of a debossed tablet to fulfill this requirement. BioAlliance will work closely with the FDA on the introduction of a debossed tablet and will soon after resubmit the Loramyc application.
