Pain Therapeutics petitions US Food and Drug Administration regarding Remoxy complete response Letter
14 November 2018 -

Pain Therapeutics, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, has petitioned the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding a complete response Letter for Remoxy issued in August this year, it was reported yesterday.

The FDA and the firm have agreed to meet in-person on 31 January 2019 to discuss this matter. The company disagrees with recent FDA comments and conclusions regarding the product's abuse-deterrent properties and the drug's overall risk/benefit profile.

Remoxy is the proposed trade name for a new type of abuse-deterrent, twice-daily, capsule gel formulation of oxycodone. It has physical/chemical properties intended to deter abuse, compared to marketed extended-release oxycodone products.
