NEW YORK, Jan. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEEL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies for central nervous system disorders and rare diseases, today announced the scheduling of a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2020.
Seelos will seek guidance for an adaptive Phase III trial of SLS-002 for Acute Suicidal Ideation and Behavior (ASIB) in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
“Continued communication with FDA is essential for the development of SLS-002 in this high unmet need of ASIB in MDD.
