TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 12/19/13 -- Trimel Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX: TRL) today announced an update regarding its recent discussions with the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") relating to its new drug application for CompleoTRT™ submitted earlier this year.
As a result of such discussions, the Company believes that the most expeditious basis for seeking an FDA approval is to proceed with a proposed three-times-a-day ("TID") dosing protocol for CompleoTRT™. Accordingly, the Company is in the process of amending its proposed label to reflect a TID-only dosing regimen. However, there are no assurances that such an approach will result in approval of CompleoTRT™.
"Following a constructive dialogue with FDA staff, the Company has elected to proceed with TID dosing as the basis of seeking an expeditious approval for CompleoTRT™," stated Tom Rossi, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Company continues to believe that a twice-per-day dose represents a promising alternative for patients with hypogonadism and we are considering options for pursuing approval for such a dosing regimen."
