Charleston Laboratories, Inc. Announces Key Clinical Updates for Novel Drugs

JUPITER, Fla., Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Charleston Laboratories, Inc., an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the research and development of novel pain products, announced two key clinical updates for the company.  The company has submitted an Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") to the U.S Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") Division of Neurology Products (DNP) for the clinical development of CL-H1T as a novel treatment for patients who suffer from migraine pain and migraine induced nausea or vomiting.  Additionally, the FDA's Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Rheumatology Products ("DPARP") has granted Charleston's request for a Type B Pre-Investigational New Drug meeting ("Pre-IND") to discuss the proposed Investigational New Drug, CL-AT-313, as a novel treatment for the relief of cough and other symptoms associated with upper respiratory allergies or a common cold.

"Both of these developments demonstrate Charleston's continued ability to advance novel drug candidates," said Paul Bosse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Charleston Laboratories.  "Our successfully completed Phase 3 study with our lead asset CL-108 combined with the clinical developments around CL-H1T and CL-AT-313 show Charleston's core strengths and abilities to leverage our rich pipeline of products.  We will continue to aggressively diversify our pipeline with our sights on defined milestones that benefit both patients and our stakeholders."
