ECP Pharma’s Path Forward Clearer After FDA’s Response To Pre-IND Submission On Its Neurological, CNS Diseases Drug Products – Business Wire

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ECP Pharma has received a favorable, positive written response from the FDA regarding its Pre-IND submission of novel drugs for targeted indications with no clinically proven treatment options using underutilized APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients).

The FDA provided a clear order of when clinical studies should be conducted by ECP Pharma, which increases the likelihood of successful sequential program development. The battery of nonclinical studies will help to inform the clinical program, which will now follow an outline from the FDA on the requirements needed to commence with its clinical trials. One initial takeaway is that the FDA is supportive of the development of this combination drug therapy program for Neurological and CNS diseases.

"The Pre-IND meeting notes are a wonderful indicator that ECP Pharma is on the right track, says Dr. Michael Hoffer, ECP Pharmas Chief Medical Officer and a Professor of Otolaryngology and Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami. The FDAs feedback provides a clear path forward which will alleviate future headaches with the inclusion of nonclinical feedback to help avoid a Clinical Hold when the IND is submitted. We expect to be on schedule to start first in human trials after our IND submission.

According to Dr. Hoffer, ECP Pharmas focus and areas of research target the field of neuroscience and neurology to identify target indications to develop a robust drug product development pipeline. Its drug discovery process and business development analytics are backed by world-class experts in the fields of drug research, regulatory compliance, and business management. The companys unique collaboration with the University of Miamis Miller School of Medicine through research agreements provides another strategic edge for ECP Pharma.

The ECP Pharma clinical trials team is currently in discussions with regulatory agencies in North and South America to be able to undergo multiple comprehensive, inclusive trials in addition to Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials set to begin in Miami, Florida. Several new FDA approved diagnostic technologies that the company is utilizing will allow it to quantify the improvement in each patients condition after the treatment course has been administered.
