Ularitide could make waves in acute decompensated heart failure market, says analyst
The fast-tracking of Ularitide, a novel drug for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), has the potential to bring valuable new therapeutic options to what has long been a stagnant market, according to an analyst with research and consulting firm GlobalData.
Ularitide, a chemically synthesized form of urodilatin developed by Switzerland-based Cardiorentis, is in a Phase III clinical trial to test the drug’s efficacy in ADHF patients. Despite being a small organization, privately-held Cardiorentis anticipates positive top-line results from the investigation, which will be announced at the American College of Cardiology Late-Breaking Clinical Trial Sessions in April.
Elizabeth Hamson, GlobalData’s analyst covering cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, says that while Cardiorentis’ size means the company has limited commercialization experience, it does have the requisite financial backing to make its drug a success.
