Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to acquiring, developing and commercializing adjunctive cancer care and critical care drug products, announced it was discontinuing Suprenza, its FDA-approved phentermine-based product for weight loss.
Myron Holubiak, CEO of Citius said, "Suprenza no longer meets our core strategic objectives. We are dedicating our focus on our phase 3 asset Mino-Lok and our phase 2b asset Hydro-Lido for hemorrhoids."
Holubiak continued, "We feel that the obesity and weight management market has shifted and therefore we are devoting our efforts on developing our leading two assets. We anticipate a minimal financial impact to Citius from discontinuation since we eliminate our ongoing regulatory expenses and have not historically received royalties from the product."
