According to the detailed information of the complete response letter (CRL) issued a few days ago, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) once again refused to approve Avenue Therapeutics intravenous injection, the non-opioid painkiller tramadol

In a statement issued by Avenue Therapeutics, the company stated that it "does not agree with the FDA's interpretation of the data in the NDA and intends to continue to seek regulatory approval for the intravenous drug tramadol
