AcuCort AB has been granted extended SME (Small or Medium-sized Enterprise) status by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The extension means that AcuCort will be treated as an SME by the Agency until 31 December 2026. As a result, the company will be exempt, either fully or partially, from fees associated with regulatory applications related to the sale and marketing of pharmaceuticals within the EU and EEA.
– The extension of our SME status is highly valuable. It helps us keep our regulatory costs down and provides access to qualified support in key processes. Maintaining SME status is of central importance now as we take the step into Europe with registrations in additional European countries, says Jonas Jönmark, CEO of AcuCort.
