Supernus Resubmits NDA for SPN-830 Apomorphine Infusion Device

ROCKVILLE, Md., Dec. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUPN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced it has resubmitted its New Drug Application (NDA) for its apomorphine infusion device (SPN-830) for the continuous treatment of motor fluctuations (OFF episodes) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD).

Following the original submission of the NDA for SPN-830, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Refusal to File (RTF) letter in November 2020 indicating that the NDA was not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. The FDA provided additional clarity related to the contents of the November 2020 RTF letter and the requirements for resubmission during a Type A meeting with Supernus in March 2021.

“SPN-830 is an important product candidate which, if approved by the FDA, represents a novel approach for PD patients,” said Jack Khattar, President and CEO of Supernus Pharmaceuticals. “We believe the continuous subcutaneous infusion of apomorphine for the treatment of motor fluctuations (OFF episodes) can be an attractive alternative for patients who are seeking less invasive options.”
