Operating Highlights for 2018 and Forecast for 2019--
- Historically, our lead drug candidate had been REMOXY, which is the trade name for an abuse-deterrent, extended-release form of oxycodone to treat severe chronic pain. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has previously found REMOXY to be an effective analgesic drug for the treatment of severe chronic pain. However, FDA has not approved REMOXY on the basis that additional demonstrations of its abuse deterrent properties are needed, a matter of dispute between us and FDA.
On March 20, 2019, we provided Durect Corporation with written notice of termination of a Development and License Agreement (DLA). Termination of the DLA effectively ends our clinical development of REMOXY.
- In October 2018, we announced a strategic reorganization to align Company resources on advancing our programs in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
--- In December 2018, we announced the initiation of a Phase II study to evaluate PTI-125 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. This clinical study is supported by a research grant award from the National Institute on Aging of the NIH, the primary Federal agency supporting innovative new research in Alzheimer’s disease.
- In 2019, we expect to rebrand the Company around neurodegeneration. Our rebranding plans include a new company name, logo, ticker symbol, website, as well as a comprehensive strategy to bolster media outreach and an active approach to engage with potential new shareholders.
