TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX: ASP) (“Acerus” or the “Company”) is today advising that it has received a Notice of Deficiency-Withdrawal Letter (“Notice”) for its GynoflorTM New Drug Submission. The Company has 30 days to decide if it wishes to file a Letter of Intent to file a Request for Reconsideration of the Notice.
“We are disappointed with the Health Canada decision on GynoflorTM,” said Ed Gudaitis, President and CEO of Acerus Pharmaceuticals. “GynoflorTM is currently approved in over 40 countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America and we are understandably surprised that we could not obtain approval in Canada. We will study the details of the Notice and work with Medinova AG, the manufacturer and licensor of GynoflorTM, to assess our next steps.”
