News: Ark Therapeutics Files Cerepro Application for European Marketing Authorisation
Ark Therapeutics announced that the Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for Cerepro, Ark’s novel gene-based therapy for operable malignant glioma (brain cancer) which was recently filed with the EMEA, has cleared the validation stage. The Cerepro MAA application now commences formal review via the centralised procedure which is the standard route for all advanced therapies. Cerepro was originally filed for marketing approval in late 2005 and was reviewed by the EMEA with reliance on Phase II data. The review established that more clinical data were needed to confirm the findings and to demonstrate the reproducibility of the results in a larger multi-centre clinical trial. The Phase III study of Cerepro, completed in July 2007, showed that treatment with Cerepro resulted in a significant therapeutic benefit, supporting the results of the Phase II clinical studies.
