FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to BA-101 for the treatment of GBM
“We are pleased to receive orphan drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of glioblastoma. This is our second orphan drug designation and further highlights our mission to bring targeted therapies to individuals and families affected by rare neurological conditions, while also marking our entrance into oncology,” said Amir Avniel, CEO of NeuroNOS. “Glioblastoma is one of the most common and deadliest brain cancers in adults, however, patients have seen little improvement in treatment options over the past several decades. Emerging industry research shows that NO is an important modulator of biological therapy response in Glioblastoma. We believe this data and the urgent unmet medical need have highlighted the opportunity for our groundbreaking science to develop small molecule therapies that balance nitric oxide levels in the brain. We believe an NO inhibition strategy has the potential to transform outcomes for patients.”
