On announcing the news, IntelGenx' President and CEO Dr. Horst Zerbe commented "We are very excited with this filing as we believe that our Rizatriptan film is the first oral film product for the treatment of migraine for which a 505(b)(2) NDA has been submitted to FDA. We believe that the product has significant market potential as it is therapeutically equivalent to Maxalt-MLT(R) orally disintegrating tablets, is easy to use, and offers significant cost advantages over orally disintegrating tablets due to the fact that manufacturing costs of orally disintegrating tablets are generally higher than those of orally disintegrating films as they often require lyophilization of the drug and a complicated, and therefore very expensive, packaging system."
