Forward Guidance

ARS Pharma anticipates an FDA review period of up to six months, and the PDUFA date is anticipated to be October 2, 2024, based on the submission receipt date of April 2, 2024.

Positive Outlook

Challenges Ahead

  • New issues could be identified which could delay or prevent the approval of neffy.
