FDA Tentatively Approves Intelliject's Lead Product e-cue


Intelliject, Inc. recently announced the US FDA has granted tentative approval for the company’s NDA for a novel epinephrine auto-injector, e-cue, for emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

The tentative approval of e-cue following a first cycle, 10-month review by the FDA provides validation of Intelliject’s vision of developing patient-centric products and of the company’s ability to execute.

“e-cue’s tentative approval is another important step along our journey to empower patients living with serious medical conditions,” said Spencer Williamson, President and CEO of Intelliject

Obtaining a tentative approval means that the product review is complete and the submission met the FDA’s requirements to be approved. The FDA reserves final approval of the product, however, until all exclusivity or patent challenges have been resolved, specifically the current patent litigation brought against Intelliject by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) and Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc. (Meridian). Final FDA approval is required before a product can be marketed in the United States.

Intelliject is confident that the pending patent disputes with King and Meridian will be favorably resolved and looks forward to obtaining final FDA approval and to e-cue’s subsequent availability.
