IGI Laboratories Acquires Rights to 18 Former AstraZeneca Products

IGI Laboratories, Inc., a New Jersey-based specialty generic pharmaceutical company, has acquired the regulatory rights and related documents and records for 18 drug products from AstraZeneca, 17 of which were marketed. The acquisition includes the regulatory rights and documents for 17 injectable products and one suppository product. All of these products had been previously approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) or new drug applications (NDAs) prior to their discontinuation or withdrawal from the market. 

Jason Grenfell-Gardner, president and CEO of IGI Laboratories, said in a company statement: “This acquisition begins the next critical phase of our growth strategy and will enable us to expand our existing generic topical pharmaceutical platform to now include injectable products. Expanding our development and commercial focus to include injectable pharmaceutical products will leverage our existing expertise and capabilities and broaden our platform for sustainable growth. Almost half of the products we acquired are currently listed on the US FDA shortage list, and we look forward to working closely with the US FDA to return these products to the market as soon as possible.”
