June 18, 2008 4:11 PM EDT

Eurand N.V. (Nasdaq: EURX) announced that it has received an approvable letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Company's New Drug Application (NDA) for EUR-1008 (pancrealipase capsules) for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

The letter marks notable progress towards gaining approval and does not require Eurand to conduct additional clinical trials prior to approving EUR-1008. In addition, the FDA recently completed a successful pre-approval inspection (PAI) of the Company's manufacturing facilities. Eurand is working with the FDA to provide a full and timely response to the agency's requests, and based on current information, the company still anticipates that it will be in a position to launch EUR-1008 in the second half of 2008.
