ALKS 8700 Drug Analysis 2018: An Oral Monomethyl Fumarate Molecule Being Developed for the Treatment of Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Drug Analysis: ALKS 8700" drug pipelines has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

ALKS 8700 is an oral monomethyl fumarate molecule being developed for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis.

Alkermes designed this drug to have Tecfidera-like efficacy, but to also display superior gastrointestinal tolerability. After being administered, ALKS 8700 rapidly metabolizes into monomethyl fumarate.

While the actual mechanism of monomethyl fumarate is unknown, the molecule has been shown to activate the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 pathway, which is involved in the cellular response to oxidative stress.

ALKS 8700 is currently in the middle of its pivotal Phase III clinical trial program, with Alkermes planning to submit a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application in 2018.
