PaxMedica (NASDAQ: PXMD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in innovative treatments for unmet needs in neurodevelopmental disorders, has recently introduced a groundbreaking regulatory strategy that could potentially pave the way for the approval of its lead product candidate, Suramin, in the United States. During a recent episode of the Bell2Bell (“B2B”) Podcast, Chairman and CEO Howard Weisman, along with Buzz Woods from Corporate Communications, delved into this strategy.

Suramin, a longstanding treatment for early-stage East African sleeping sickness (Human African Trypanosomiasis or “HAT”), has yet to receive approval for use in the United States for any indication, a gap that PaxMedica aims to bridge. Weisman underscored the crucial link between their regulatory approach for HAT and their overarching mission of addressing Autism Spectrum Disorder (“ASD”), with a specific emphasis on the role of the Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) in facilitating a large-scale study in ASD.
As PaxMedica continues to navigate the complex regulatory landscape, the company remains resolute in its commitment to drive pioneering advancements in neurology and biopharmaceutical research, particularly directed towards addressing the pressing unmet needs in the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders.
