09-08-2012: Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. announced that it has been awarded a grant of USD$947,925 from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) to support clinical studies to develop APL-130277, a sublingual (oral) thin film strip reformulation of apomorphine. Apomorphine is an approved drug in the US, Europe and several other countries as a subcutaneous injection or infusion for Parkinson's patients experiencing daily "OFF" or motor fluctuation episodes. APL-130277 is potentially the only oral formulation of Apomorphine, and as such will provide patients with a convenient and more tolerable alternative to multiple daily injections.
The grant was awarded under the Foundation's The Edmond J. Safra Core Programs for Parkinson's Research, Clinical Intervention Award, aimed at supporting human clinical trials testing promising Parkinson's therapies that may significantly and fundamentally improve treatment for people with Parkinson's.
"Improved methods of delivery for apomorphine, which has been shown to effectively treat 'off-episodes' in motor fluctuation, have been a goal of pharmaceutical research for at least a decade," says Maurizio Facheris, MD, MSc, Associate Director of Research Programs at MJFF. "Preliminary data around Cynapsus' novel formulation (APL-130277) show promise for a more frequent and effective use of this dopaminergic drug. We are hopeful that these clinical studies will support this promise, and drive APL-130277 further along the pipeline of therapeutic development."
