• BioAlliance Pharma SA, of Paris, said the FDA accepted for review its new drug application for Sitavig (acyclovir Lauriad) for recurrent orofacial herpes. The application was based on results from a Phase III study showing that a single application of the drug, marketed in Europe as Sitavir, significantly reduced the occurrence of vesicular lesions and crusts, their time to healing and the severity of symptoms.
