About
Newron Pharmaceuticals
Newron (SIX: NWRN) is a
biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies
for patients with diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) and pain.
The Company is headquartered in Bresso near Milan, Italy. Marketing
authorization in the EU for Xadago® (safinamide) for the
treatment of Parkinson’s disease was granted by the EU Commission in
February 2015, followed by Swissmedic’s grant of the marketing
authorization for Switzerland in November 2015. The drug has been
launched by Newron’s partner Zambon in the first key EU country -
Germany - in May 2015, and Switzerland in January 2016. The New Drug
Application (NDA) has been accepted for review by the FDA, as reported
in March 2015. Zambon has the rights to develop and commercialize
safinamide globally, excluding Japan and other key Asian territories,
where Meiji Seika has the rights to develop and commercialize the
compound. Newron’s additional projects are based on highly promising
treatments for rare disease patients and are at various stages of
clinical development. They include sarizotan for patients with Rett
syndrome, for which Newron received Orphan Drug Designation in both the
US and the EU, ralfinamide for patients with specific rare pain
indications, and NW-3509 as potentially the first add-on therapy for the
treatment of patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia. For
