On June 2, 2021, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) officially announced that the glucocorticoid drug PA9159 nasal spray was approved for clinical use. The PA9159 developed by Zhejiang Palaatu Pharmaceutical Company (Palaatu) is for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis.
Class 1 new drug PA9159 for rhinitis
In addition, Palaatu plans to submit the clinical trial applications of PA9159 for indications of asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), eczema, neurodermatitis, atopic dermatitis and pruritus during the second half of 2021.
As a new chemical entity, the preclinical efficacy test of PA9159 nasal spray showed that PA9159 nasal spray improved the symptoms of rhinitis, and was generally better than Fluticasone Furoate (FF). Preclinical animal data showed that PA9159 nasal spray was safe and had lower side effects than FF. Therefore, it is expected that PA9159 nasal spray can be used clinically to significantly improve the symptoms of rhinitis in patients.
Notably, the development of the API process was assisted by Shanghai Medicilon Inc. (Medicilon). Currently, Medicilon’s Process Department has established a platform for the development of cGMP APIs and has developed GMP APIs for clinical trials for innovative drug companies. Medicilon vigorously develops new technologies such as using green enzyme to resolve the drug synthesis problems and rapidly advance the development of innovative drugs, establishing a safety assessment lab in the process of API synthesis to resolve the safety and efficiency issues, and strengthening the quality research of APIs and able to control the content of genotoxic impurities and metal element impurities in APIs to meet the requirements and ICH guidelines.
Medicilon congratulates Palaatu on the research and development outcome, and hopes that the clinical research willproceed smoothly, bringing more treatment options to patients.
