Nutriband COO Alan Smith Ph.D. Selected for FDA Center for Research on Complex Generics Stakeholder Expert Committee

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2023 / Nutriband Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:NTRB)(NASDAQ:NTRBW) today announced that Alan Smith, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer (COO), Nutriband, and President of its subsidiary, 4P Therapeutics LLC ("4P Therapeutics"), has been selected for the FDA's Center for Research on Complex Generics Stakeholder Expert Committee on Adhesion Testing for Transdermal/Topical Delivery Systems.

The Center for Research on Complex Generics (CRCG) was established by FDA in 2020 to enhance research collaborations with industry to further the FDA's mission of increasing access to safe and effective generic products. This goal will be pursued through collaborative research, training, and exchange of resources between FDA, industry, and stakeholders.

Complex drug products, which are a key component of the FDA's Drug Competition Action Plan, are medical products where complexity or uncertainty concerning the approval pathway or possible alternative approaches would benefit from early scientific engagement, such as transdermal patches and drug-device combination products.

Dr. Smith has over 25 years of experience in the development of transdermal drug delivery systems, noninvasive medical devices and wearable diagnostics with specialized experience in conducting clinical proof-of-concept studies and developing in vitro tests that correlate to in vivo performance in the clinic.

"It is a privilege to be selected for this FDA CRCG Stakeholder Expert Committee. The currently utilized in vitro methods for transdermal adhesion testing are inadequate in predicting performance in the clinic and I am excited about the possibility of helping to advance the state of the art in this field," said Alan Smith, Ph.D., President, 4P Therapeutics.
