Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 25, 2019, Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) received the notice of approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for an application associated with our next generation Caldolor® (ibuprofen) injection product (the “Product”). This Product features a new, patented formulation in a more convenient to use package.
We submitted the approval application for the Product to the FDA in February 2018 and in April 2018 the FDA determined that the application was complete and notified us of their acceptance for review. There were then a number of communications with the FDA and their questions were addressed through multiple amendments that we submitted to the application. In August 2018, the Company received a complete response from the FDA outlining additional information needed for the application’s approval. We provided the requested quality and nonclinical data to the FDA in September 2018.
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 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) approved for pain and fever in pediatric patients six months of age and older.
