Adolor Announces FDA Update
EXTON, Pa., January 10, 2005 -- Adolor Corporation (NASDAQ:ADLR) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as part of its review of Adolor's New Drug Application (NDA) for Entereg (alvimopan), has requested that the company provide information from the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) European Phase 3 clinical study (SB-767905/001) of alvimopan in postoperative ileus (POI). Study 001 was conducted by GSK in Europe, Australia and New Zealand to support a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the European Union. Top-line results from Study 001 were announced by Adolor on December 23, 2004. Adolor and GSK are collaborating on the worldwide development and commercialisation of alvimopan.
"We will work closely with our partner GSK to provide this information to the FDA," said Bruce Peacock, president and chief executive officer of Adolor Corporation. "Our goal is to deliver the information in a time frame that would allow for an extension of three months to the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of April 25, 2005."
"A number of positive findings and the safety profile of Study 001 validate observations in previous studies," commented Dr. Yvonne Greenstreet, Senior Vice President, Medicine Development Centre at GlaxoSmithKline. "We believe that the information from the Study will be valuable to the FDA in its consideration of the Entereg NDA."
