Update on Formoterol Certihaler๏ฟฝ
LONDON, UK, 19 December 2008 -- SkyePharma PLC (LSE: SKP) announces
that discussions about commercialising the approved formoterol
Certihaler๏ฟฝ in the United States in 2009 have ceased. This follows
last week's recommendation by the Joint Advisory Committees to the Food
and Drug Administration that the benefits did not outweigh the risks in
the current asthma indications for Long Acting Beta Agonists (LABAs)
administered alone.
Cessation of production for formoterol Certihaler๏ฟฝ will result in
asset write downs and a related non-cash charge estimated at GBP7
million to GBP8 million. This is likely to be charged in the 2008
results.
Dr. Ken Cunningham, CEO of SkyePharma said, "It is disappointing
that formoterol Certihaler๏ฟฝ is unlikely to be commercialised, but we
remain confident of the prospects of our other pipeline products
including FlutiformTM which remains on track for filing in Q1, 2009."
