Theratechnologies Announces Filing of FDA Prior Approval Supplement for EGRIFTA SV® Manufacturing Environment
18 Dicembre 2024 - 7:30PM
Theratechnologies Inc. (“Theratechnologies” or the “Company”) (TSX:
TH) (NASDAQ: THTX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of innovative therapies, today
announced that the Company has submitted a Prior Approval
Supplement (PAS) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
describing the changes made to the manufacturing environment of the
facility where EGRIFTA SV® is produced. A PAS is reviewed by the
FDA within four months of receipt and an approval is needed prior
to the distribution of the recently manufactured batches
of EGRIFTA SV®.
Existing inventory levels of EGRIFTA SV®
are expected to meet patient demand until mid-January 2025.
Theratechnologies therefore continues discussions with the relevant
FDA divisions in an effort to accelerate the release of EGRIFTA SV®
and avoid a product shortage at the patient level.
The Company will update the market on any
further material developments.
EGRIFTA SV® is distributed in the United States
only.

Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking
statements and forward-looking information (collectively, the
“Forward-Looking Statements”) within the meaning of applicable
securities laws, that are based on management’s beliefs and
assumptions and on information currently available to it. You can
identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”,
“should”, “could”, “promising”, “would”, “outlook”, “believe”,
“plan”, “envisage”, “anticipate”, “expect” and “estimate”, or the
negatives of these terms, or variations of them. The
Forward-Looking Statements contained in this press release include,
but are not limited to, statements regarding the review period of
the PAS by the FDA, the availability of EGRIFTA SV® to patients and
the avoidance of an EGRIFTA SV® shortage at the patient level.
Although the Forward-Looking Statements contained in this press
release are based upon what the Company believes are reasonable
assumptions in light of the information currently available,
investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these
statements since actual results may vary from the Forward-Looking
Statements contained in this press release. Certain assumptions
made in preparing the Forward-Looking Statements include that: (i)
the PAS as filed will meet FDA’s regulatory requirements; (ii) the
classification of the Company’s third party manufacturing site as
official action indicated (OAI) will not result in the issuance of
a complete response letter (CRL) following the submission of the
PAS; (iii) the Company will be successful in its discussions with
the various FDA divisions leading to the release of the recently
manufactured batches of EGRIFTA SV® in order to avoid a drug
shortage at the patient level; (iv) the FDA will review and approve
the PAS before mid-January 2025; and (v) market demand for EGRIFTA
SV® will remain unaffected despite the risk, or the occurrence, of
a drug shortage. Forward-Looking Statements assumptions are subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond
the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such
Forward-Looking Statements. These risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of a drug shortage of
EGRIFTA SV® due to various factors, including the inability of the
Company to convince the FDA to accelerate the review timelines of
the PAS or agree to alternative solutions allowing the release of
the recently manufactured batches of EGRIFTA SV®, the rejection of
the PAS for failure to meet regulatory requirements, the issuance
of comments by the FDA on the PAS impacting its review timelines,
the issuance of a CRL requiring the Company’s manufacturing site to
be reinspected prior to any newly-manufactured batch of EGRIFTA SV®
being released to the market; (ii) reduced revenues in the
Company’s first quarter of its fiscal year 2025 in the event the
PAS is not reviewed expeditiously or alternative solutions are not
implemented allowing the Company to resume sales of EGRIFTA SV®
before a four-month period; and (iii) patient attrition and lower
demand for EGRIFTA SV® as a result of a drug shortage. The Company
refers current and potential investors to the “Risk Factors”
section of the Company’s annual information form filed under Form
20-F dated February 21, 2024, available on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov under
Theratechnologies’ public filings. The reader is cautioned to
consider these and other risks and uncertainties carefully and not
to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Forward-Looking Statements reflect current expectations regarding
future events and speak only as of the date of this press release
and represent the Company’s expectations as of that date.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update
or revise the information contained in this press release, whether
as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or
otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.
