Isprelor Update
Alliance Pharma plc (AIM: APH), the speciality pharmaceutical company, today announces an update on the outlook for Isprelor, its development product for the induction of labour.
Following discussions yesterday with the European regulatory authorities, the Company is re-evaluating the development plan for Isprelor. It now appears likely that results of the Phase III trials completed last year will be inadequate, alone, to support the application for registration.
As a result the Company is re-assessing what additional work needs to be done, but it is now unlikely that the filing for registration will take place before 2011.
