DURLAZA is an investigational novel aspirin product designed to be slowly released into the bloodstream over 24 hours, a longer period of time as compared with currently-available aspirin products. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) prevents clot formation by inhibiting thromboxane, a naturally-occurring prostaglandin derivative that induces platelet aggregation. NHP submitted a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in September 2014 for DURLAZA to reduce the risk of stroke or acute cardiac events in patients who have suffered a prior stroke or acute cardiac event.
New Haven Pharmaceuticals Inc.
