Catalyst Pharmaceuticals Announces Issuance Of Mandate By U.S. Court of Appeals For 11th Circuit Directing The District Court Judge In Co's Lawsuit Against The FDA To Grant Summary Judgement In Favor of Catalyst

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Catalyst) (NASDAQ:CPRX), a commercial-stage, patient-centric biopharmaceutical company focused on in-licensing, developing, and commercializing novel high-quality medicines for patients living with rare diseases, today reported that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit has issued a mandate directing the District Court that heard Catalyst's claim against the FDA to enter summary judgment in favor of Catalyst in its lawsuit against the FDA, thereby vacating the FDA's approval of Ruzurgi(r) (Jacobus Pharmaceutical Company's amifampridine product).



Patrick J. McEnany, Catalyst's Chairman and CEO stated: "Catalyst's priority has always been, and will continue to be, to put patients' needs first, and we are well prepared to address their questions and do everything we can to ensure that ALL LEMS patients continue with uninterrupted access to amifampridine for treating their LEMS condition, whether through commercial access or compassionate use access for those who qualify. Our patient-focused Catalyst Pathways(r) team stands ready to provide information to patients currently being treated with Ruzurgi(r) on how best to transition to FIRDAPSE(r)."
