Poxel SA, a biopharmaceutical firm at the clinical stage focusing on developing groundbreaking therapies for chronic serious diseases characterized by metabolic pathophysiology, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and uncommon metabolic disorders, reported that the National Intellectual Property Administration of China (CNIPA) has granted Poxel patent ZL201980015603.X for Imeglimin, an innovative drug aimed at addressing mitochondrial dysfunction and already available in Japan for treating type-2 diabetes.
This recent patent safeguards the application of Imeglimin for type-2 diabetic individuals with moderate to severe kidney dysfunction until 2039. The patent approval additionally bolsters the ongoing talks started by Poxel to create and sell Imeglimin in China, after the biopharma firm regained the rights to this product in Asian nations excluding Japan from Sumitomo Pharma. The firm possesses 3 extra patents in China related to the synthesis process of Imeglimin.
The occurrence of diabetic individuals with chronic kidney disease is significant in China, accounting for approximately 27% of the diabetic population in the country, which is almost 32 million patients. Diabetes is the primary cause of end-stage kidney failure in this nation, meaning it necessitates dialysis or a transplant.
China is among Poxel's key targets for Imeglimin's development and marketing, as the choices made by the Japanese Agency for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices might decrease future regulatory and development timelines.
