Fennec Pharmaceuticals Expects FDA Rejection for New Drug

By Sam Boughedda

Investing.com — Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:FENC) shares hit a 14-month low on Monday after it said it expects to receive a complete response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its new drug application for PEDMARK.

A complete response letter from the FDA signals a second rejection following last year's new drug application.

Specialty pharmaceutical company Fennec said following the completion of a pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facility of its drug product manufacturer, deficiencies were identified — the same reason for last year's rejection.

PEDMARK has the potential to be used as a prevention from hearing loss connected with cisplatin chemotherapy in children.

Once Fennec receives the official CRL, it plans to request a meeting to discuss the deficiencies and next steps required for the resubmission of the NDA.

As of midday, Fennec Pharmaceuticals shares are down 48.3% at $4.98.
