SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Aug. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evoke Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVOK), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on treatments for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Dave Gonyer, R.Ph., President and CEO, stated, “Throughout the first half of the year, we worked diligently toward initiation of our PK study to ensure that the design, which was reviewed by FDA at a Type A meeting in March, was appropriate to demonstrate comparative exposure to the listed drug, Reglan® Tablets. In the second quarter, we announced that we re-engaged Spaulding Clinical Research, LLC, the firm that completed our successful thorough ECG study, for the comparative exposure PK study. Today, we announced the initiation of the PK study marking another milestone in our development path for Gimoti and moving us closer to our planned 505(b)(2) NDA filing. In parallel with the PK study, we have continued preparation of the NDA for submission as quickly as possible following completion of the study. The NDA is being prepared in partnership with Rho, a well-established Contract Research Organization (CRO) that has worked on other successful gastrointestinal NDA submissions in the recent past, and we are leveraging their dedicated team to help prepare a successful NDA for Gimoti. We expect to complete the analysis of the trial data and announce results in the fourth quarter of 2017, followed by a potential NDA submission by the end of this year or in early 2018.”
