The NDA acceptance confirms that the FDA has determined the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. The submission is supported by Sedana Medical's clinical program in inhaled sedation, including the two pivotal trials INSPIRE ICU-1 and INSPIRE ICU-2, both of which met their primary endpoint, showed statistically significant reduction in opioid use, and had a safety profile in line with previous studies.

“The FDA's acceptance of our NDA filing is a very positive and defining milestone for Sedana Medical, bringing us a step closer to offering critically ill patients in the United States a treatment alternative that does not exist for them today. This submission is the result of many years of dedicated work by our investigators and study sites, our teams, and everyone who has supported us along the way, and we look forward to working closely with the FDA throughout the review process,” said Johannes Doll, CEO of Sedana Medical.

If market authorization is received, isoflurane delivered via the Sedana Medical ACD Delivery System would be the first and only therapy approved in the United States for inhaled sedation of mechanically ventilated ICU patients, offering physicians and patients a new treatment alternative in a setting where options have remained limited to IV sedatives for decades.
