Acacia Pharma - BARHEMSYS NDA resubmitted to FDA

Acacia Pharma has resubmitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for its lead asset BARHEMSYS (repurposed amisulpride) for the management of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV). While the original complete response letter (CRL) received was unexpected, the issues related to deficiencies at the contract manufacturers responsible for producing the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and not to any other part of the application or the API itself. Within 30 days of this resubmission, the FDA will determine whether the application constitutes a Class 1 (up to two months) or Class 2 (up to six months) review. Acacia maintains that a potential launch of BARHEMSYS for PONV rescue is possible in H119. It has reported a 9M18 net loss of £10.0m, driven by preparation activities for the commercial launch of BARHEMSYS. We value Acacia at €602m or €11.3/share.
