On April 2, 2020, electroCore, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has submitted an Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to facilitate the study and clinical use of its gammaCore Sapphire non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation therapy for respiratory symptoms associated with COVID-19. A copy of the press release is filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
Although the Company believes that clinical data from certain pilot studies may suggest a possible benefit for patients with respiratory distress associated with COVID-19, it should be noted that preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and that such data may not be adequate for the FDA to issue an EUA. It should also be noted that to date no randomized clinical trials have been performed utilizing gammaCore in patients with COVID-19. In addition, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the review of an EUA submission nor whether the EUA ultimately will be granted. There also can be no assurance as what impact, if any, an EUA for gammaCore Sapphire will have on the Company, its business, operations or financial condition.
