GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel therapeutics from its proprietary cannabinoid product platform, recently announced that the Company has received confirmation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that its Investigational New Drug application (IND) is now open for Epidiolex in the treatment of Dravet Syndrome, a rare and catastrophic treatment-resistant form of childhood epilepsy. GW expects to commence a Phase 2/3 clinical trial in the second half of 2014. Epidiolex has already received orphan drug designation from the FDA for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. "The acceptance of this IND by the FDA is a significant milestone for Epidiolex and for children with Dravet syndrome for whom existing anti-epileptic medicines often do not provide adequate relief," stated Justin Gover, GW's Chief Executive Officer.
Nuvilex, Inc. (OTCQB: NVLX), a clinical-stage international biotechnology company providing cell and gene therapy solutions for the treatment of diseases, recently announced that, together with Translational Drug Development (TD2) in Scottsdale, Arizona, preparations have begun for US-based preclinical and then clinical studies on the unbearable pain and the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity which are two commonly occurring symptoms associated with advanced pancreatic cancer. TD2 will study the effectiveness of Nuvilex's pancreatic cancer treatment in relieving the unbearable pain and the accumulation of abdominal fluid known as "ascites." Nuvilex's pancreatic cancer treatment, which combines the Cell-in-a-Box[(R)] live-cell encapsulation technology with the well-known anticancer drug ifosfamide, will be studied with the expectation that it can improve the quality of life of pancreatic cancer patients by relieving these two chronic symptoms usually associated with the development of advanced pancreatic cancer. The preclinical studies are being planned to commence shortly and, if successful, they will be soon followed by clinical trials in both pain severity and ascites accumulation.
