Lightlake
Therapeutics Inc. Announces Adapt Pharma Limited Commences Rolling NDA Submission To The FDA For Intranasal Naloxone
NEW
YORK, June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightlake Therapeutics Inc. ("Lightlake") (OTCQB: LLTP), a biopharmaceutical
company developing addiction treatments based on its expertise in opioid antagonists, announced today that Adapt Pharma Limited
("Adapt"), Lightlake's partner for treating opioid overdose with intranasal naloxone, has commenced a rolling submission
of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a nasal spray formulation of naloxone,
a drug intended to treat opioid overdose. A rolling submission allows completed portions of the NDA to be submitted and
reviewed by the FDA on an ongoing basis.
Naloxone
is approved by the FDA, in injectable formulations, for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. Adapt
is collaborating with the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to develop a naloxone nasal spray that would be suitable
for use in the community setting by non-medically trained personnel.
The
development program for naloxone nasal spray has been granted Fast Track Designation by the FDA. This designation is to
facilitate the development, and expedite the review, of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need.
"This
is a very important milestone for Adapt and Lightlake," stated Dr. Roger Crystal, M.D., CEO of Lightlake. "This
submission reflects the progress that Adapt has made in advancing the development of this critical treatment. An ease-of-use,
needle-free product is urgently needed to help address opioid overdose."
In December
2014, Lightlake announced a licensing deal with a subsidiary of Adapt. In exchange for licensing its opioid overdose reversal
treatment, Lightlake could receive potential development and sales milestone payments of more than $55 million, plus up to
double-digit royalties.
About
Opioid Overdose
The
number of opioid overdose related deaths continues to increase. Data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
WONDER database indicates opioid overdose led to the loss of over 24,000 lives in America in 2013, a four-fold increase since
1999. Additionally, the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), a public health surveillance system managed by the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), estimated that in 2011 there were over 740,000 emergency department
visits involving the non-medical use of prescription opioids and heroin. With the majority of opioid overdose related deaths
occurring in a non-medical setting, there is a need for more user friendly formulations of naloxone suitable for use in the community
by non-medically trained personnel.
