On December 18, 2020, Osmotica Pharmaceuticals plc (the “Company”) submitted an amendment to its New Drug Application (the “NDA”) for arbaclofen ER tablets for the alleviation of spasticity in multiple sclerosis under consideration by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The amendment was submitted in response to a letter sent by the FDA to the Company on December 4, 2020, as part of FDA’s ongoing review of the NDA.
The Company intends to continue its discussions with the FDA to resolve the issues raised in its December 4, 2020 letter. However, at this time it is likely that the FDA will continue to review the NDA past the previously announced user goal date of December 29, 2020.
