In other Nutritional & Pharmaceutical news & happenings around the sector are:  GNC Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GNC) - headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, a leading global specialty health, wellness and performance retailer, announced today the addition of three new communications partners to help drive profitable growth for the brand. The new agency partners - Consigliere (brand management/creative/advertising), CROSSMEDIA (media/communications planning) and 22squared (digital and social media) - were selected after a multiple-month review and assessment process.  "In our relentless quest to search for innovative ways to connect our customers to their best, GNC is focused on ensuring we have the right marketing partners to deliver against that promise," said Jeffrey R. Hennion, Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing and e-Commerce Officer.

Vitamin Shoppe (NYSE: VSI) Removes Products That May Contain BMPEA -  VSI announced because the health and safety of our customers is our number one priority, and out of an abundance of caution, we are immediately removing all acacia rigidula containing products, due to the concern that some of them may contain BMPEA, from our stores and website. BMPEA is a synthetic drug-like substance that should not be used in dietary supplements.  We are concerned by the findings outlined in the study published yesterday in Drug Testing and Analysis, which state that some acacia rigidula containing products may also contain BMPEA.  If these findings are confirmed by the FDA, these products should not be sold as dietary supplements.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TEVA) and Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGRX) announced that the New Drug Application (NDA) for a liquid bendamustine hydrochloride (HCl) rapid infusion product has been accepted for filing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date for a decision on this NDA by the FDA is December 2015.  This NDA requests FDA approval of the rapid infusion bendamustine HCl product for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that has progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. This product candidate has received Orphan Drug Designations for both CLL and indolent B-cell NHL, and therefore may be eligible for seven years of exclusivity upon approval. The NDA is supported by data from a clinical trial completed in November 2014, which demonstrated that the rapid infusion bendamustine HCl product can be administered in ten minutes in a low-volume, 50 mL admixture.

BioLife Solutions (NASDAQ: BLFS) shares were up on heavy volume trading Tuesday after the small cap biopharmaceutical company announced preliminary first quarter financial results about a month ahead of its official earnings release date.  The company said that it generated preliminary revenue of $1.5 million which was comprised entirely of proprietary product revenue, a 30% increase over the same period last year.
