SkyePharma files NDA for asthma drug

SkyePharma has filed a new drug application for Flutiform, the company's lead development product for the maintenance treatment of asthma in patients 12 years of age and older, with the FDA.

Primary endpoints were met in all of the clinical programs required for the submission of the new drug application (NDA), comprising a long-term safety study and four efficacy studies, covering nearly 2,300 patients, said SkyePharma.

Flutiform HFA-MDI is a fixed-dose combination of an inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone and formoterol, long-acting beta agonist in a metered dose inhaler.

Ken Cunningham, CEO of SkyePharma, said: “The submission of the NDA
for Flutiform is a major milestone for SkyePharma. We believe that Flutiform, when approved, will provide physicians and asthma patients with an additional treatment option to better manage this serious, chronic condition.”
