New drug for treatment of multiple sclerosis developed in Russia
A new drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis has recently been developed in Russia, according to an official spokesman for Veronika Skvortsova, Russia’s Minister of Health, reports The Pharma Letter’s local correspondent.
It is reported that the new drug, will be produced by Pharmasyntez, one of Russia’s leading drugmakers in cooperation with the Russian Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, is currently the subject of clinical studies and will appear on the market after 2020.
Details of the new MS drug were not revealed, but back in April 2016 public records showed that Pharmasyntez had reported safety and efficacy data from a Phase IIa trial of Xemys, a CD antigen modulator, for the treatment of MS.
