IntelGenx Announces FDA Acceptance of New Drug Application for Anti-
Migraine VersaFilm™ Oral Film Product
SAINT LAURENT, QUEBEC, June 18, 2013 - IntelGenx Corp. (TSX-V: IGX) (OTCQX:
IGXT) (“IntelGenx”, or the “Company”) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (“FDA”) has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) action date
of February 3, 2014 for the review of the Company’s New Drug Application (“NDA”) for the
marketing approval of IntelGenx’ Anti-Migraine VersaFilm™ oral film product.
The Company had announced on March 27, 2013 that, together with its co-development partner
RedHill Biopharma Ltd (“RedHill”), it had submitted a 505(b)(2) NDA to the FDA for the
Company’s anti-migraine oral film product. The product is a novel, oral thin-film formulation,
based on IntelGenx’ proprietary VersaFilm™ technology containing Rizatriptan, the active drug
in Merck & Co (“Merck”) Maxalt-MLT® orally disintegrating tablets. The FDA confirmed that
IntelGenx’ application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review in accordance with
the FDA’s “standard” classification process.
IntelGenx had previously announced a successful a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA following
the completion of a bioequivalency study demonstrating that its oral film product is
bioequivalent with Maxalt MLT®, a leading branded anti-migraine product manufactured by
Merck. According to Merck's most recent annual report, sales of Maxalt® were $638 million in
2012. The thin-film formulation of Rizatriptan has been developed in accordance with the co-
development and commercialisation agreement with RedHill (NASDAQ: RDHL; TASE: RDHL)
using IntelGenx' proprietary immediate release "VersaFilm™" drug delivery technology.
IntelGenx’ orally disintegrating film consists of a thin (30 – 50 µm) polymeric film which
disintegrates rapidly upon oral administration, thereby releasing the active drug Rizatriptan and
making it available for rapid absorption. The film does not require water for administration.
On announcing the news, IntelGenx' President and CEO Dr. Horst Zerbe commented, “We are
very pleased with the FDA’s confirmation that our anti-migraine film application has been
accepted for review. We believe that our Rizatriptan film is the first oral film product for the
treatment of migraine for which a 505(b)(2) NDA has been submitted to FDA. We consider that
the product has significant market potential as it is therapeutically equivalent to Maxalt-MLT®
orally disintegrating tablets, is easy to use, and offers significant cost advantages over orally
disintegrating tablets.”
