MONTREAL, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Theratechnologies Inc.

“We remain committed to providing EGRIFTA SV^® to people with HIV and we truly appreciate the FDA’s collaboration to get the treatment back to the patients who rely on it,” said Christian Marsolais, PhD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Theratechnologies.

You can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “promising”, “would”, “outlook”, “believe”, “plan”, “envisage”, “anticipate”, “expect” and “estimate”, or the negatives of these terms, or variations of them.

The Forward-Looking Statements contained in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: (i) the review of the Prior Approval Supplement (PAS) within the timelines announced herein; and (ii) the provision of EGRIFTA SV^® to people with HIV. Although the Forward-Looking Statements contained in this press release are based upon what the Company believes are reasonable assumptions in light of the information currently available, investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these statements since actual results may vary from the Forward-Looking Statements contained in this press release. Certain assumptions made in preparing the Forward-Looking Statements include that: (i) the PAS will be approved by the FDA; (ii) the review of the PAS will be completed within the timelines disclosed herein; (iii) current market demand for EGRIFTA SV^® has not been adversely impacted by the drug shortage; and (iv) the Company’s third party manufacturer will be able to continue the manufacture of EGRIFTA SV^® to meet patients demand . Forward-Looking Statements assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such Forward-Looking Statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) FDA’s review of the PAS not being completed by April 18, 2025; (ii) non-approval of the PAS; (iii) issuance of questions as part of the PAS review by the FDA resulting in delays in completing the PAS review and resulting in delays beyond April 18, 2025, to release additional batches of EGRIFTA SV^®, if need be; (iv) issuance of a complete response letter following the filing of the PAS as a result of the manufacturing site being classified as Official Action Indicated preventing the Company from releasing additional batches of EGRIFTA SV^®, unless new authorizations similar to the one announced herein are obtained from the FDA; and (v) a decrease in demand for EGRIFTA SV^® due to the recent shortage adversely impacting the resumption of the commercialization of EGRIFTA SV^®;.
