TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Oct. 27, 2016) – Prospect Park Capital Corp. (“Prospect Park“) (TSX VENTURE:PPK), a public healthcare focused investment corporation, announces that one of its investees, IOI, LLC (“IOI“), has been advised by Serenity Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Serenity“) that the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“) Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Drugs Advisory Committee (the “Committee“) voted 14-4 in favour of the benefit risk profile of Serenity’s New Drug Application (“NDA“) for SER120 (desmopressin nasal spray). Additionally, the Committee voted 17-1 that there is substantial evidence to conclude that at least one of the SER120 doses is effective.

The FDA is expected to take action on the NDA for SER120 in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Prospect Park is entitled to a milestone payment equal to US$48,000 (32% of its initial investment in IOI) should the NDA for SER120 successfully receive approval by the FDA.
