In one of the biggest all-private deals of the year, totaling up to €500 million @PrileniaTx and @ferrerforgood announced that they’ve joined forces to advance #pridopidine in Europe and other select international markets through a commercialization and co-development agreement. #Pridopidine for #HuntingtonsDisease is currently under review by the EMA with a CHMP opinion expected in 2H2025. This half-billion euro deal supports the accelerated development and expansion of pridopidine into additional #neurodegenerative indications, such as #ALS. Read the PR: https://t.co/rY5YIF9DH9
#DYK that there are no approved therapies for post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), a potentially life-threatening complication of bariatric surgery?
PBH is thought to be caused by exaggerated secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) leading to hypersecretion of insulin and a rapid drop in blood sugar.
Symptoms can result in major disruptions to daily living, including falls, motor vehicle accidents, and job and income loss.
