ADMP Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation

Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ: ADMP) (“Adamis”) today announced that as of the close of business today, Adamis has not received any notice of action from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on the company’s New Drug Application relating to its ZIMHI™ high-dose naloxone injection product for the treatment of opioid overdose.  As Adamis has previously stated, in connection with its acceptance for review of the NDA the FDA previously provided a PDUFA target agency action date of October 31, 2019.  However, the FDA’s review processes can extend beyond, and in some cases significantly beyond, anticipated or target completion or action dates due to the timing of the FDA’s review process, FDA requests for additional data, information, materials or clarification, difficulties scheduling an advisory committee meeting, FDA workload issues, extensions resulting from the submission of additional information or clarification regarding information already in the submission, or other reasons.  Adamis intends to make an announcement relating to FDA action concerning the NDA after it receives a notice of action or similar communication from the agency.

About ZIMHI ZIMHI is a high-dose naloxone injection product candidate intended for the treatment of opioid overdose.  Naloxone is an opioid antagonist and is generally considered the drug of choice for immediate administration for opioid overdose.  It works by blocking or reversing the effects of the opioid, including extreme drowsiness, slowed breathing, or loss of consciousness.  Common opioids include morphine, heroin, tramadol, oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl.  According to statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2017, drug overdoses resulted in approximately 72,000 deaths in the United States – greater than 195 deaths per day.  Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50, and more powerful synthetic opioids, like fentanyl and its analogues, are responsible for the largest number of deaths from opioid overdoses.
