FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

TherapeuticsMD Provides TX-004HR Regulatory Update

 

BOCA RATON, Fla. – July 17, 2017 – TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NYSE MKT: TXMD), an innovative women’s healthcare company, today announced a regulatory update regarding the New Drug Application (NDA) for TX-004HR, the company’s investigational applicator-free estradiol vaginal softgel capsule for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vaginal pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA) due to menopause.

 

On June 14, 2017, the Company participated in a Type A Post-Action Meeting with the Division of Bone, Reproductive, and Urologic Products (DBRUP) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the Complete Response Letter (CRL) that the Company previously received for the NDA for TX-004HR. The meeting enabled the Company to present new information that the Company believes could address concerns raised by the FDA in the CRL and positively affect the status of the NDA for TX-004HR.

 

The Company has received the minutes of the meeting and, per the FDA’s request, has formally submitted the new information for consideration related to the NDA for TX-004HR.

 

The Company continues to have a productive dialogue with the FDA related to its review of this information but has not yet received a formal timeline from the FDA for a conclusion of such review. The Company expects to have additional clarity on the pathway forward for the NDA for TX-004HR in the coming weeks. The Company looks forward to working with the FDA to address its concerns regarding the NDA for TX-004HR and reserves the right to pursue the FDA’s formal dispute resolution process if a reasonable timeline to address such concerns cannot be established.
