Lannett, FDA reach SPA agreement for Cocaine HCl trial

According to the company, the Phase III trial will be a randomized, prospective, multi-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of C-Topical Solution as an anesthetic prior to a diagnostic procedure or surgery.

The primary endpoint for the trial is analgesic success immediately after application and sustained throughout the diagnostic procedure or surgery.

Lannett president and CEO Arthur P Bedrosian said the SPA agreement provides a registration pathway for C-Topical product, and demonstrates collaboration between the FDA and Lannett.

"We expect the clinical trial to be completed, and to file a related 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) in 2012," Bedrosian added.
