Valeo Pharma Obtains Public Reimbursement for Onstryv in Quebec Valeo Pharma Inc. announced that Onstryv (safinamide) for the treatment of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, is now listed for public reimbursement on the Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan of the Quebec Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec ("RAMQ"), effective February 1, 2023. Onstryv® is approved by Health Canada as an add-on therapy to a regimen that includes levodopa for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson's Disease in patients experiencing "off" episodes. Onstryvâ is a prescription medication available at pharmacies across Canada in 50mg and 100mg tablets. Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological disease involving the loss of dopamine producing neurons in the brain. While tremors are the best known symptom, Parkinson's Disease also causes other symptoms including slowed movement, rigid muscles, impaired posture and balance, speech and writing difficulties. On a per capita basis, Canada has amongst the higher incidences of Parkinson's Disease in the world and the number of patients is expected to grow significantly over the next thirty years as the median population age increases. Safinamide, known as Onstryv® in Canada and Xadago® in the rest of the world, is a chemical entity with a unique mode of action including selective and reversible MAO-B inhibition. Clinical trials have established its efficacy in controlling motor symptoms and motor complications in the short term, maintaining this effect over 2 years. Results from 24 month double-blind controlled studies suggest that safinamide shows statistically significant effects on motor fluctuations (ON/OFF time) without increasing the risk of developing troublesome dyskinesia. Onstryv® is a once-daily dose and has no diet restrictions due to its high MAO-B/MAO-A selectivity. Annonce • Jan 27
Valeo Pharma Announces Filing of New Drug Submission-Covid 19 with Health Canada for Sabizabulin for the Treatment of Hospitalized Covid-19 Patients Valeo Pharma Inc. announced that Health Canada has accepted for review Veru's New Drug Submission ("NDS-CV") for sabizabulin for COVID-19. Sabizabulin is a novel dual antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent being developed for the treatment of hospitalized moderate to severe COVID-19 adult patients at high risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. The Phase 3 COVID-19 clinical trial of sabizabulin was a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial conducted in 204 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 (= WHO 4-supplemental oxygen) at high risk for ARDS and death. The primary endpoint was the proportion of deaths by Day 60. Patients in both treatment groups were allowed to receive standard of care treatment, including remdesivir, dexamethasone, anti-IL6 receptor antibodies and JAK inhibitors. Based on a planned interim analysis of the first 150 patients randomized, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee unanimously recommended to halt the study early for clear clinical efficacy and no safety concerns were identified. Treatment with sabizabulin 9 mg once daily, an oral, first-in-class, new chemical entity, microtubule disruptor that has dual anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant 55.2% relative reduction in deaths compared to placebo. The results of the interim analysis were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Evidence. In the final analysis of all 204 patients, sabizabulin demonstrated a statistically significant 51.6% relative reduction in deaths compared to placebo. Sabizabulin was well tolerated. Valeo previously announced in September 2022 that Veru and Valeo had entered into an agreement under which Valeo is the commercial partner for Veru's product candidate sabizabulin for COVID-19 in Canada.
