Horst Zerbe, president and CEO of IntelGenx, said: “We are now able to concentrate our efforts on completing the compilation of documentation for the 505(b)(2) NDA filing with the FDA. I am very proud of our team of experts who not only successfully developed this product within the allotted time frame, but also within budget.”
Douglas Cary, president and CEO of Cary Pharmaceuticals, said: “Our research shows that more than one million prescriptions were dispensed for the higher dosage of this antidepressant during 2007 and we will be the sole provider of this medication in a single tablet.
