VANCOUVER, BC – BioNxt Solutions Inc. is pleased to report that the comparative pharmacokinetic (PK) study for its oral dissolvable film (ODF) based proprietary Cladribine product for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has been completed. Results will be reported by the Company when available. The PK study closely follows the unanimously successful results of the ODF Cladribine toxicity study, announced February 7, 2024.
BioNxt is developing a proprietary hybrid-generic ODF Cladribine dosage form, directed at the MS market. Cladribine tablets are approved for use in over 75 countries, including by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), for several indications, namely highly active forms of relapsing-remitting MS and certain forms of leukemia. MS represents the largest market segment for the sale of Cladribine with approximately 2.3 million people living with MS worldwide, with the highest prevalence in North America and Europe, noted by Atlas of MS. The global Multiple Sclerosis drug market is expected to top USD 41 billion by 2033 according to Market.us.
The comparative PK study was carried out by a European contract research organization in accordance with EU medical regulatory guidelines using animal models and a single administration of either sublingual (ODF) or oral (tablet) Cladribine. Blood testing and analysis was carried out pre-dose and at up to six time points after administration using blood aliquots.
BioNxt has accelerated its Cladribine ODF program in a priority manner with GMP product development and batch production planned for Q1 and Q2 2024 with the European Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) preparation and submission planned for Q2 2024.
The Company has filed Cladribine ODF-related provisional patent applications with three to four patent applications expected to be on file in major international jurisdictions by late 2024 to early 2025 with potential patent protection extending to 2044.
