MediciNova to get US patent for MN-166 to treat brain cancer

MediciNova (NASDAQ:MNOV) said it will receive a new patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office which covers MN-166 (ibudilast) to treat glioblastoma. The new patent is expected to expire no earlier than February 2039, the company said in a Sept. 14 press release. Glioblastoma is a type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. The allowed claims cover a method of treating a patient with glioblastoma or recurrent glioblastoma wherein a patient expresses unmethylated MGMT, using MN-166 (ibudilast) in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents. "Results of our glioblastoma animal model study showed that median survival was longer in the group that received combination treatment with MN-166 plus temozolomide compared to the group that received the standard treatment of temozolomide alone," said MediciNova Chief Medical Officer Kazuko Matsuda.

MediciNova (NASDAQ:MNOV) said it started a first-in-human study of a new parenteral formulation of MN-166 (ibudilast). The company said the newly developed MN-166 (ibudilast) formulation will provide an additional option besides the current oral formulation. "With MN-166 expected to be effective to treat a variety of diseases, we believe expanding to a parenteral formulation increases the feasibility of treating more target indications, thus increasing the value of MN-166," said MediciNova Chief Medical Officer Kazuko Matsuda. In April, the company reported data from a phase 2 trial of MN-166 for alcohol use disorder, showing that the drug reduced alcohol craving on non-drinking days.
