RYE, N.Y., Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Curemark, a drug research and development company focused on neurological disorders, announced that the company has been awarded 6 new patents for its enzyme delivery system. The new patents, issued in Europe, Australia and Central America, extend to 2030 and can be utilized for multiple enzyme products including CM-AT, Curemark's proprietary autism drug.

"We are thrilled to receive these patents," stated Dr. Joan Fallon, Curemark founder and CEO. "They are a major step forward toward bringing our platform technology to children and adults around the world who need it."

Curemark previously announced that it has begun the rolling submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a New Drug Application (NDA) for CM-AT.

The FDA has granted CM-AT the agency's Fast Track designation. The Fast Track designation is provided to investigational new drugs that are intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions and that have demonstrated the potential to meet unmet medical needs. The FDA works closely with manufacturers to develop Fast Track designated products which allows for rolling pre-submission and seeks to expedite the review of these drugs.
