Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ: ADMP), a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing specialty products for respiratory disease, allergy and opioid overdose, today announced that the New Drug Application (NDA) was resubmitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Zimhi™, a naloxone injection product candidate intended for the treatment of opioid overdose.
“Based on FDA feedback received during our Type A meeting in April, we have resubmitted our NDA for Zimhi, which I am confident fully addresses the issues raised in the November 13, 2020 Complete Response Letter,” said Dr. Dennis J. Carlo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Adamis Pharmaceuticals. “We are committed to working collaboratively with the agency as it conducts its review of the resubmitted NDA. I continue to believe the availability of additional naloxone products, especially our higher dose intramuscular injection product, which has definite advantages over the two approved intranasal products, could potentially save thousands of lives.”
About Zimhi
Zimhi is a high-dose naloxone injection product candidate intended for the treatment of opioid overdose. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist and is generally considered the drug of choice for immediate administration for opioid overdose. It works by blocking or reversing the effects of the opioid, including extreme drowsiness, slowed breathing, or loss of consciousness. Common opioids include morphine, heroin, tramadol, oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl. According to statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2018, drug overdoses resulted in approximately 67,000 deaths in the United States – greater than 185 deaths per day. Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50, and more powerful synthetic opioids, like fentanyl and its analogues, are responsible for the largest number of deaths from opioid overdoses.
