MedDay attends European Academy of Neurology 2016 and presents extension phase results of the MS-SPI trial
Paris, France, 25 May 2016 - MedDay, a biotechnology company focused on the treatment of nervous system disorders, announces that an oral presentation entitled “High doses of biotin in progressive multiple sclerosis: extension phase results of the MS-SPI trial” will be given by Professor Ayman Tourbah, Principal Investigator of the Phase 3 study, at the 2nd Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The oral Session “MS and related disorders 3” will take place on Sunday, 29 May 2016 from 14:45 to 16:15 CEST in Hall C.
The MS-SPI trial tested the efficacy of MD1003, a patented pharmaceutical-grade biotin administered at a dose of 300 mg per day, in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and particularly of the most difficult to treat “not-active progressive MS,” for which there is currently no approved drug. Data previously presented at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting (AAN) in April 2015 showed that the MS-SPI study’s primary endpoint was met and that MD1003 is the first drug capable of reversing disease progression in patients with progressive MS. Extension phase data announced at AAN in 2016 demonstrated sustained efficacy for up to 2 years and reconfirmed a good safety profile of MD1003.
The management team from MedDay will be in attendance at the EAN congress and available at MedDay’s booth, C44.
