BAUDETTE, Minn., June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("ANI") (NASDAQ: ANIP) announced today that it continues to make progress toward addressing items identified in the Refusal to File letter received from the FDA relating to its Cortrophin® Gel sNDA filing. 

"The most efficient path forward is to concentrate efforts on the preparation of the resubmission of the sNDA," commented ANI Pharmaceuticals Interim CEO Patrick Walsh. "As such, we decided to forego a request for a Type-A meeting with the FDA and respond to all observations as part of the comprehensive resubmission of the sNDA. To further support our efforts, we have retained a prominent regulatory consulting firm to support the company's re-filing plan, including a comprehensive review of the entire application before re-submission."

The Company plans on refiling its sNDA for Cortrophin® Gel with the FDA upon completion of the review process.
