“We appreciate the panelists’ perspective and guidance,” said Steve Sherman, senior vice president of regulatory affairs for INSYS Therapeutics. “Believing that our sublingual delivery technology could contribute significantly to bring value to patients, we will continue to work with the FDA in the coming months to discuss the path forward for our buprenorphine product candidate and to build on the current body of evidence for its efficacy and safety.”
