Marketing authorization in the EU for Xadago™ (safinamide) is expected in 2015. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) recommended to approve safinamide in the EU on Dec. 19, 2014 following the submission of the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for safinamide to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

Newron’s additional projects are based on highly promising treatments for rare disease patients and are at various stages of clinical development, including sarizotan for patients with Rett syndrome, sNN0031 for patients with Parkinson’s disease, non-responsive to oral drug treatments, sNN0029 for patients with ALS and ralfinamide for patients with specific rare pain indications.
