Anesiva, Inc. (ANSV) Receives FDA Approval for Supplemental New Drug Application to Expand Zingo(TM) Indication

QualityStocks would like to highlight Anesiva, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSV). The company seeks to be a leader in the development and commercialization of novel pharmaceutical products for pain management. Anesiva's lead product candidate is Adlea, a novel small molecule formulation of capsaicin that is currently in development for the management of acute pain following orthopedic surgeries. Adlea has been shown in clinical trials to provide extended pain relief after only a single administration in multiple indications for site-specific, acute and chronic, moderate-to-severe pain.

 

In the company’s news Friday,

 

Anesiva, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to expand the indication for Zingo(TM) to treat adults’ pain associated with blood draws. Previously, Zingo (lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) powder intradermal injection system was only approved to treat the pain caused by peripheral IV insertions and blood draws in children aging 3-18 years.

 

As announced in November of last year, Anesiva ceased Zingo commercial activities to focus efforts on the development of Adlea(TM). This non-opioid, long-acting analgesic drug candidate was designed to manage the acute pain that follows orthopedic surgeries. Anesiva has intentions to license Zingo as well as the underlying drug delivery technology and intellectual property.
