SteadyMed Submits Type A Meeting Request Package to FDA

SteadyMed Ltd. (Nasdaq:STDY), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development of drug product candidates to treat orphan and high-value diseases with unmet parenteral delivery needs, today announced that it has submitted a Type A Meeting Request and Briefing Document to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Type A meeting is being requested in response to the FDA’s August 28, 2017 Refusal to File (RTF) letter relating to SteadyMed’s New Drug Application (NDA) for Trevyent®, its lead drug product candidate that is in development for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The Meeting Request and Briefing Document contain SteadyMed’s proposals to address the issues raised by the FDA in the RTF letter, along with a request for a Type A meeting to obtain agreement on SteadyMed’s proposed pathway to a Trevyent NDA resubmission. Per FDA guidance to industry, a Type A meeting is a meeting needed to help an otherwise stalled product development program proceed.  If granted, Type A meetings are generally scheduled within 30 days of the meeting request.

“We believe that we have provided a Briefing Document that will allow us to work collaboratively with FDA to agree on a pathway to resubmission of our NDA for Trevyent,” said Jonathan M. N. Rigby, President and CEO of SteadyMed. “We look forward to meeting with FDA in the near future.”

Designed to address the limitations of existing PAH therapies, SteadyMed’s investigational drug product Trevyent, combines its preservative-free, parenteral treprostinil formulation with the Company’s proprietary PatchPump®, in a sterile, pre-filled, pre-programmed, single use disposable infusion system for parenteral delivery of treprostinil.
