Item 8.01 Other Events
Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“we” “our” or "the Company") is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of branded prescription products.
In November 2018, the Company completed and filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), a submission to provide an update to our Caldolor® New Drug Application approval. Aiming to further expand the product’s label, we provided data generated from our clinical studies regarding an optimal infusion time, additional safety information, as well as geriatric and pediatric administration. The proposed revised label would also include a class label update on the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ("NSAIDs" or "NSAID") with aspirin.
In early September 2019, the FDA informed us that our submission was not accepted for their review because of the number of new claims. The FDA recommended splitting up the submission into several separate submissions, each containing a single proposed labeling claim or group of related labeling claims, with additional data in support of each claim. We are evaluating the FDA’s response. They have offered a Type A meeting to discuss their recommendations, which we intend to schedule.
Caldolor is indicated in adults and pediatric patients for the management of mild to moderate pain and management of moderate to severe pain as an adjunct to opioid analgesics, as well as the reduction of fever. It was the first injectable product approved by the FDA for fever. It was also the first NSAID approved for pain and fever in pediatric patients six months of age and older.
