THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Oct. 16, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repros Therapeutics Inc.® (Nasdaq:RPRX) today reported that its upcoming meeting with the FDA in the first half of November will be a Type C guidance meeting rather than a Type B Pre-NDA meeting. The Company received a communication from the FDA today indicating that based on its preliminary review of the Company's briefing document, there was not sufficient clinical information provided for the meeting to be a Type B Pre-NDA meeting.
While the Company does not know why the FDA believes the clinical information to not be sufficient, the Company notes that synopses for the one year DEXA safety study and the Drug-Drug Interaction Study, which it believes may be significant to the FDA's review, were not available at the time the briefing document was submitted to the FDA.
The FDA indicated that it would like to proceed with the meeting as a Type C Guidance meeting, and that it will provide preliminary comments to the Company's questions prior to the meeting.
