Non-profit R&D group DNDi points up progress fighting neglected diseases
Geneva-based non-profit the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) has released its annual report for 2016, detailing plans to register fexinidazole as a new drug to treat sleeping sickness.
The drug R&D institute says that if regulatory approval is granted next year, as it expects, the drug would become its first new chemical entity to reach this milestone. The group entered into a collaboration with Sanofi (Euronext: SAN) to develop fexinidazole in 2009.
The DNDi, which conducts its own clinical development programs drawing from a mix of public and private donations, has a pipeline of over 30 projects targeting some of the world’s most neglected diseases.
