カリフォルニア州トーランス市, July 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 鎌状赤血球症治療をリードするエマウスライフサイエンス社(OTCQB: EMMA)は、同社の処方グレードL-グルタミン経口粉末(PGLG)を憩室症治療に利用するためのライセンス供与について、パートナー・インターナショナル社と契約したことを発表した。これは、FDA(米国食品医薬品局)及びイスラエル保健省によって5歳以上の小児患者及び成人の鎌状赤血球症の急性合併症を軽減する医薬品として承認されているEndariと同じ有効医薬品成分です。憩室症は米国を始めとする諸国において成人に広く存在する胃腸の病気で、無症状の患者も多く存在します。憩室症はときに憩室炎へと進行することがあり、入院や手術を必要とするほど悪化する場合もあります。Endariが、憩室症の進行を遅らせたり改善したりする効果が示唆されている限られた臨床結果に基づいて、エマウスライフサイエンス社は2019年4月に複数の研究施設で10～15名の患者にPGLG経口粉末を使用し大腸憩室の数と大きさの変化を測定し安全性を評価するパイロット/第一相臨床治験を開始しました。この治験の最初の被験者に対する予備的な中間評価では、継続的に良好な結果が示唆されています。この治験は現在進行中ではありますが、同社はこれまでに得られたデータを基に、FDA505(b)(2)に基づく短縮された第三相治験に進む予定です。エマウスライフサイエンス社の会長兼最高経営責任者であり、医学博士及び公衆衛生学修士である新原豊は、次のように述べています。「私たちは、処方グレードL-グルタミンを憩室症に用いる潜在的な治療法についてパートナー・インターナショナル社と契約し、ライセンス供与等について共に働けることを大変嬉しく思います。私の30年に渡る臨床経験の中で、この病気の進行を改善する治療法を観察または聞いたのはこれが初めてのことです。私たちはパートナー・インターナショナル社が製薬業界においてユニークな経験とコネクションを持っていることを高く評価しており、今回の提携によって多くの方々と双方に有益なコラボレーションが行われることを期待しています。」パートナー・インターナショナル社の社長兼最高経営責任者であるJoanne...
