| BAUDETTE, Minn., June 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ANI”) (Nasdaq: ANIP) today announced that it has received FDA approval of its Prior Approval Supplement for Vancomycin Hydrochloride for Oral Solution USP, 250 mg/5 ml, indicated for the treatment of various infections. ANI intends to launch the product prior to October 2019. In order to assist patients and prescribers with dosing flexibility, ANI will commercialize Vancomycin for Oral Solution, now with a mixed berry flavor, in three packaging configurations – 80 mL, 150 mL and 300 mL. Vancomycin for Oral Solution will compete in a current market estimated to exceed $450 million annually, including all drugs indicated for treatment of enterocolitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains) and antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis caused by C. difficile. ANI acquired the ANDA for Vancomycin for Oral Solution in 2014 in an acquisition that included the NDA for Vancocin® 125 mg and 250 mg capsules and approved ANDAs for Vancomycin Hydrochloride Injection 500 mg, 1 gm and 10 gm. Arthur S. Przybyl, ANI’s President and CEO stated, “Our acquisition of the Vancocin® assets in 2014 continues to create substantial incremental value for ANI. This exciting approval represents yet another successful re-commercialization effort of an acquired discontinued ANDA and underscores the capabilities of ANI’s product development and tech transfer group. Incorporating enhanced taste masking, a patient friendly presentation and improved dosing flexibility, our team successfully modernized this product to address the needs of today’s prescribers and patients. We are excited to re-launch this FDA approved product into a marketplace that is currently dominated by compounded vancomycin oral solutions. We intend to pursue the removal of these unapproved compounded products from commercial distribution.” About Vancomycin Hydrochloride for Oral Solution USP Vancomycin Hydrochloride for Oral Solution is administered orally for treatment of enterocolitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains) and antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis caused by C. difficile.
