Item 8.01Other Events

On March 27, 2015, Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Adamis” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it had received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding the Company’s New Drug Application (“NDA”) for its Epinephrine Injection USP 1:1000 0.3mg Pre-filled Single Dose Syringe, or the Epinephrine PFS, product, for the emergency treatment of acute anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction.  On May 28, 2014, we submitted an NDA to the FDA pursuant to Section 505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, as amended, for approval of the Epinephrine PFS product.  The Epinephrine PFS delivers a premeasured dose of ephinephrine for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis.

A CRL is issued by the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research when it has completed its review of a file and questions remain that preclude the approval of the NDA in its current form.  

The questions raised by the FDA in the CRL pertained to Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”) relating to the volume of dose delivered by the syringe, including the ability to deliver volume within the levels contained in the labeling claim and as required by the FDA.  No other safety or efficacy issues were raised, and the NDA will remain open until the CMC issues are resolved.  The letter indicated that the agency had reserved comment, if any, on the proposed labeling for the product until the application was otherwise adequate.

The Company is reviewing the CRL and plans to request a meeting with the FDA to discuss the CRL, including clarifying the product delivery volume specifications that will be required.  In light of the above matters, the Company does not expect to be in a position to commence commercial sales of the Epinephrine PFS product by the end of the second quarter of 2015.
