‘We are pleased with the outcome of the bankruptcy proceeding resulting in Ligand’s full ownership of berdazimer gel, NITRICIL platform and related assets. We will look forward to the FDA’s decision regarding the New Drug Application for berdazimer gel in January of next year, and remain confident in its potential approval as the first-ever at home treatment for molluscum contagiosum,” said Todd Davis, CEO of Ligand. “We are ideally positioned to take advantage of special situations such as this, and, consistent with our business model, will seek marketing partners for the acquired assets to maximize value to Ligand shareholders.” Birch Lake acted as financial advisor and Morgan Lewis acted as legal advisor to Ligand for this transaction,” said Ligand in its release.
