PharmaTher Holdings Ltd. (OTCQB: PHRRF) announced an update regarding its KETARX™ (ketamine) treatment for levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease, following a Type C meeting with the FDA. The FDA supported the company's regulatory approach and indicated that a single confirmatory trial could suffice for marketing approval under specific conditions. PharmaTher will adjust its clinical development plans according to the FDA's feedback and aims to pursue FDA Fast Track designation. Recent Phase I/II results showed ketamine was safe and well-tolerated, with significant reductions in dyskinesias for all subjects treated.
PharmaTher Holdings Ltd. (OTCQB: PHRRF) has submitted its Type B meeting package to the FDA to discuss requirements for the KETARX™ On-Body Pump System. The meeting is scheduled for March 23, 2023. PharmaTher aims to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) by the end of 2023, using its clinical and non-clinical data. The company intends to seek FDA approval for the device to enhance general anesthesia and sedation procedures. The KETARX™ system may provide improved administration of ketamine while potentially extending its use in mental health and pain disorders. However, no assurance of expedited approval is provided.
PharmaTher Holdings Ltd. (OTCQB: PHRRF) has received its 5th FDA orphan drug designation for KETARX™ (racemic ketamine) to treat Rett Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that primarily affects girls.
