Osteoarthritis Pain Drug MM-II Receives USFDA Fast Track Status
Osteoarthritis pain drug MM-II has achieved USFDA fast track status, facilitating an accelerated review process for this innovative non-opioid therapy. Jointly developed by Sun Pharma and Moebius Medical, MM-II has shown significant effectiveness in treating osteoarthritis knee pain.
Implications of Fast Track Designation
This USFDA fast track designation allows more frequent interaction with the agency during drug development. This is crucial for expediting the phase 3 clinical trials planned for MM-II, aimed at addressing a significant therapeutic gap in the management of osteoarthritis.
About MM-II and Osteoarthritis
- MM-II demonstrated marked pain relief for up to 26 weeks in a randomized, controlled Phase 2b study.
- Due to its potential, the drug could soon help millions suffering from the most common chronic joint disease.
