Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 28, 2021, Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “company”) received an update on the zonisamide oral suspension project, which the company previously sold to Azurity Pharmaceuticals. Eton was notified that its partner received a Complete Response Letter(“CRL”) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding the New Drug Application for zonisamide oral suspension. The only deficiencies listed in the CRL were related to the Facility Inspections section. The inspection of the third-party manufacturing facility was unable to occur due to travel restrictions. The FDA did not provide a timeline for the inspection but stated that it intends to inspect the facility once travel restrictions are lifted. Eton’s partner is responsible for all regulatory activities and will remain in communication with the FDA. Pursuant to terms of the sale, Eton is entitled to milestone payments and royalties on future sales of the product.
