Mark L. Baum, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals CEO stated, "We truly appreciate the FDA granting the meeting and for assisting us in better understanding the regulatory pathway as we move forward with our Impracor Phase III clinical trial.

About Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMMY) is a specialty pharmaceutical Company focused on the commercial development of compounded drug formulations. Through our exclusive strategic relationship with Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA), the largest compounding pharmacy organization in North America, Imprimis expects to use its proprietary Accudel drug delivery technologies, as well as proprietary formulations for new indications, and market data, to identify 505(b)(2) pharmaceutical development opportunities where there is a significant unmet medical need. In addition, Imprimis is internally developing a non-invasive, topically delivered Phase III product candidate called Impracor. Impracor utilizes the Accudel topical formulation to deliver the active drug, ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), through the skin directly into the underlying tissues where the drug exerts its localized anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Imprimis intends to expand the Accudel brand beyond topical drug delivery in order to create a family of drug delivery platforms that will enable targeted site-specific drug delivery and treatment.
