Milestone: Refusal to File Letter from U.S. FDA for New Drug Application

 Milestone® Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: MIST) announced today that the Company received a Refusal to File (RTF) letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the New Drug Application (NDA) for self-administered etripamil nasal spray for the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).

Upon preliminary review, the FDA determined that the NDA, submitted in October 2023, was not sufficiently complete to permit substantive review. The FDA requested clarification about the time of data recorded for adverse events in Phase 3 clinical trials; FDA did not express concerns about the nature or severity of adverse events. Milestone will seek clarification and is in the process of planning a meeting with the FDA.

"We intend to work with the FDA to better understand the open issues and to agree on a path forward," said Joseph Oliveto, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Pharmaceuticals. "We are committed to advancing etripamil nasal spray as a first-of-its kind portable and fast acting solution that would allow patients with episodic cardiovascular conditions to actively self-manage their condition outside of the healthcare setting.”
