Kringle Pharma (TYO:4884) said the U.S. FDA has cleared its Investigational New Drug application for oremepermin alfa, a recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor, to treat acute spinal cord injury.
The clearance enables Kringle to advance preparations for a U.S. Phase 3 trial and marks a key milestone in its global development strategy, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Monday.
Kringle has completed Phase 1/2 and Phase 3 trials in Japan generating safety and efficacy evidence, and is conducting an additional Japanese Phase 3 trial ahead of a future regulatory submission.
It has also secured Orphan Drug Designation for acute SCI in Japan, the U.S. and Europe.
