Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc (“Eton” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ETON),
an innovative pharmaceutical company focused on developing and
commercializing treatments for rare diseases, today announced the
Company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for ET-400, a proprietary
patented formulation of hydrocortisone oral solution, has been
accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has
been assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target
action date of February 28, 2025.
“The acceptance of our NDA is a significant milestone toward our
efforts of bringing this important and highly in-demand liquid
formulation to children. Once approved, we believe ET-400 will
allow us to capture a greater percentage of the oral hydrocortisone
market and, together with ALKINDI SPRINKLE®, achieve combined peak
sales of more than $50 million annually. We look forward to working
with the FDA and preparing for a potential launch in early 2025,”
said Sean Brynjelsen, CEO of Eton Pharmaceuticals.
ET-400 is a proprietary room temperature stable formulation of
oral hydrocortisone solution. The Company has been issued a patent
