CorMedix Inc. Announces FDA Grant of
Rolling Review of Neutrolin
New Drug Application
Berkeley Heights, NJ - February 3,
2020 - CorMedix Inc. (NYSE American: CRMD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic
products for the prevention and treatment of infectious and inflammatory disease, announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration
has granted the request for a rolling review of the New Drug Application (NDA) for Neutrolin for the prevention
of catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSIs) in hemodialysis patients. Neutrolin has received Fast Track Designation from
FDA and the Company confirmed with FDA in a pre-NDA meeting that it was eligible to request a rolling review. A rolling submission
of the NDA is designed to expedite the review process for products being developed to address an unmet medical need. CorMedix remains
on schedule for a potential NDA approval during the second half of 2020.
Khoso Baluch, CorMedix Chief Executive
Officer commented, "We are very proud of the achievement by the CorMedix Team of reaching this significant milestone for
Neutrolin. We are also grateful to FDA for its continuing cooperation, as we work diligently to secure regulatory approval of Neutrolin
in the US to prevent life-threatening CRBSIs in hemodialysis patients."
is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment
of infectious and inflammatory diseases. The Company is focused on developing its lead product Neutrolin , a novel,
non-antibiotic antimicrobial solution designed to prevent costly and dangerous bloodstream infections associated with the use of
central venous catheters. The Company completed a Phase 3 clinical trial of Neutrolin in patients undergoing hemodialysis for end-stage
renal disease, which showed a 71% reduction in catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) relative to the heparin control
arm (p=0.0006) with a good safety profile. CRBSIs cost the U.S. healthcare system approximately $6 billion annually and contribute
significantly to increased morbidity and mortality. Neutrolin has Fast Track designation from FDA, which provides the potential
for priority review of a marketing application, and Qualified Infectious Disease Product designation, which allows for 5 additional
years of marketing exclusivity when approved for commercial distribution by FDA. Neutrolin is CE Marked and commercially distributed
as a medical device in Europe and other territories. In parallel, CorMedix is leveraging its taurolidine technology to develop
a pipeline of antimicrobial medical devices, with active programs in surgical sutures and meshes, and topical hydrogels.
The Company is also working with top-tier researchers to develop taurolidine-based therapies for rare pediatric cancers.
