IGI Laboratories, Inc. Announces Tenth ANDA Submission
BUENA, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IGI Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IG), a New Jersey based generic
topical pharmaceutical company, today announced it has submitted its
second abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) in 2013 to the US FDA,
which brings the company’s total number of submissions to ten.
Jason Grenfell-Gardner, President and CEO of the Company, commented,
"With this submission, we remain on target to deliver on our expectation
to file at least six ANDAs in 2013. The fourth quarter of 2013 will mark
the three year anniversary of our first two submissions to the FDA, and
based on the FDA’s current average review time of thirty-two months, we
are hopeful we could receive our first ANDA approval in 2013. Our team
has filed ten ANDAs in just over two years. We believe that our
successful expansion of our development pipeline is the foundation of
our strategy to create long term shareholder value. We will continue to
look for opportunities to accelerate the growth of our product portfolio
through both our research and business development efforts.”
