Flamel Technologies Announces FDA Acceptance of Third NDA Filing

LYON, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2015) - Flamel Technologies ( NASDAQ : FLML ) today announced that it has received a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of April 30, 2016 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its third New Drug Application (NDA). This is Flamel's third filing to seek FDA approval of an Unapproved Marketed Drug (UMD), consistent with Flamel's successful strategy in this portion of its product portfolio. Based on IMS and other third-party data, the Company estimates that current U.S. market sales of the unapproved versions of this drug are in the range of $70-$80 million per year. Flamel currently has two FDA-approved products on the market, including Bloxiverz® (neostigmine methylsulfate) and Vazculep® (phenylephrine hydrochloride). 

About Flamel Technologies - Flamel Technologies SA ( NASDAQ : FLML ) is a specialty pharmaceutical company utilizing its core competencies in formulation development and drug delivery to develop safer and more efficacious pharmaceutical products, addressing unmet medical needs and/or reducing overall healthcare costs. Flamel currently has approvals for and markets two previously Unapproved Marketed Drugs ("UMDs") in the USA, Bloxiverz® (neostigmine methylsulfate injection) and Vazculep® (phenylephrine hydrochloride injection). The Company intends to add to this branded business by creating additional products, focusing on the development of products utilizing Flamel's proprietary drug delivery platforms. Flamel currently has several products in development utilizing Micropump® (oral sustained release microparticles platform) along with its tangent technologies, LiquiTime® and Trigger Lock™. The lead project for Micropump® is sodium oxybate. LiquiTime® allows for the extended-release of liquid medicines (such as ibuprofen and guaifenesin) and Trigger Lock™ is an abuse-resistant iteration of Micropump®, designed specifically for long-acting opioids (such as hydromorphone). Additionally, the Company has developed a long acting injectable platform, Medusa™, a hydrogel depot technology currently being studied with exenatide. Flamel's products are targeting high-value molecules and will utilize either the 505(b)(2) approval process for NDAs or biosimilar pathways ultimately approved by FDA and other regulatory authorities. The Company is headquartered in Lyon, France and has operations in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and Dublin, Ireland. Additional information may be found at www.flamel.com .
