FDA Pre-IND Advice on OXPzero™ Ibuprofen OTC Opportunity

Oxford Pharmascience, the specialty pharmaceutical company that redevelops medicines to make them better, safer and easier to take, today announces it has received pre-IND scientific advice from the FDA (US regulatory authority) regarding the development programme requirements likely to be needed to support a future new drug application ("NDA") in the US for an OTC product containing OXPzero™ Ibuprofen. Key points from the advice are:

·      The OXPzero™ Ibuprofen drug substance is considered a new ibuprofen salt form and hence will need to be submitted as a 505(b)(2) application (which is typically a faster route to approval than a traditional development path), as it bridges to the well-established safety and efficacy of the reference ibuprofen product.

 

·      Based on the FDA responses, the understanding is that the US NDA can be submitted with only Phase I PK data and that no further safety or efficacy studies are required to licence the product for use in adults, however this will be further assessed once PK data are available with the final to-be-marketed OTC formulation.

 

·      Further data will be required for US paediatric development.

The Company is pleased that OTC formulations of OXPzeroTM Ibuprofen can, in principle, be registered in the US with relatively low cost and low risk pharmacokinetic data.

Subject to completion of the planned demerger (as announced on 10 November 2017 and described in detail in the Circular sent to shareholders on the same date), the OXPzeroTM platform will be owned by the separate private entity, Oxford Pharmascience Limited ("OPL") (currently a subsidiary of the Company). OPL will continue with the ongoing commercialisation of the OXPzeroTM platform assets in both OTC and prescription markets.

Marcelo Bravo, Chief Executive Officer of Oxford Pharmascience, commented:

"This FDA advice underpins our product development strategy for the US OTC market and it is encouraging that our novel, taste-masked OXPzeroTM Ibuprofen formulations can be developed for approval in the US without the need for costly Phase III trials."

New Translogik iTrack Contract Win with BHP in Chile

 

Transense Technologies plc, the AIM quoted company focused on patent-protected sensor systems and supporting technology, is pleased to announce that Translogik, its trading division providing tyre management solutions, has won a further contract through its Chilean partner Otraco, to supply 40 iTrack II mining tyre monitoring systems for large haul trucks at the BHP Billiton mine Cerro Colorado. Cerro Colorado are currently using 16 iTrack I units and have decided to upgrade to iTrack II and roll the system out to their entire fleet.

These systems are to be supplied on a rental and service basis via Otraco. This method allows mining companies to benefit from the productivity gains and overhead savings provided by using the system without any of the associated capital cost while providing Translogik with a recurring revenue stream.

 

Graham Storey, CEO of Transense, said: "We are very pleased to have added another BHP mine to our growing list of iTrack users in Chile. We also operate iTrack II in BHP Spence Chile and recently added BHP South Walker Creek Australia and look forward to working more extensively with BHP in the future".

Notes to editors:

About iTrack II

The iTrack II Mining system provides fast, accurate, reliable real-time data on the condition of the tyres, combined with live tracking of vehicle location and status. Our 24/7 Control Room monitors the  pressures and temperatures live, and this information can, for example, be used to ensure tyres do not exceed critical heat thresholds, detect incorrect load distributions, predict suspension failures, eliminate manual tyre pressure checks and much more. All of these benefits increase health and safety as well as reducing maintenance and downtime, which maximises the hours a truck is working (On-Road Truck Working Hours), which directly correlates to an increase in production.

Existing iTrack users have reported increases in tyre life of up to 30% and fuel savings of up to 3%. Savings of this magnitude provide a rapid return on investment with the iTrack system paying for itself in a matter of months and where the rental option is chosen the system will pay for itself from day one.

About Otraco

For release: 21 November 2017

 

 

genedrive plc ("genedrive" or the "Company")

 

genedrive plc awarded £600,000 Innovate UK  grant

 

Award to support the development of a centrifuge-free plasma separation consumable for its Genedrive® HCV assay

 

genedrive plc, the near patient molecular diagnostics company, today announces it has now been formally awarded an Innovate UK grant for the development of a disposable centrifuge-free plasma separation consumable device. In its preliminary results issued in October, genedrive confirmed it had been conditionally offered this grant. The device is planned to support the future use of genedrive's HCV ID Kit closer to a point of care setting. genedrive plc and its collaborators, NHS Tayside and the Univeristy of Dundee, will receive circa £600,000 of which genedrive will account for its £484,000 share of the funding as income, matched to costs incurred over the periods to 30 June 2018 and 2019.

 

David Budd, Chief Executive Officer of genedrive plc said: "This has the opportunity to be a very novel and impactful project and we are delighted that Innovate UK has chosen to support us.  This device will aim to improve the applicability of the Genedrive® HCV assay for closer to patient settings and would be a significant step forward in positioning the test for true decentralised diagnostics. Further, the device is anticipated to be independent from the Genedrive® platform, opening the opportunity for other diagnostic instruments that need plasma as a starting point for blood borne viral testing."

 

Genedrive® HCV ID Kit is performed on the Company's Genedrive® portable molecular diagnostics platform, designed for use at the point of need. The assay uses only a small amount of human plasma (25ul), eliminating the need for a separate RNA viral extraction process, and yields results within 90 minutes. genedrive has distribution agreements with subsidiaries of Sysmex Corporation for the distribution of the Genedrive® platform in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
