European Commission (EC) Grants Conditional Marketing Authorization (CMA) for MYR Pharmaceuticals HEPCLUDEX®

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Sept. 3, 2020 - PRLog -- CPC Scientific Inc. is pleased to announce that the European Commission (EC) has granted the Conditional Marketing Authorization (CMA) for MYR Pharmaceuticals lead compound HEPCLUDEX®. CPC Scientific serves as a supplier and partner to MYR Pharmaceuticals for the development and manufacturing of bulevirtide (Hepcludex). This drug is intended for the treatment of chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection in adult patients with compensated liver disease, and effectively reduces HDV RNA levels and signs of liver inflammation in treated patients.
Hepcludex is classified as an orphan medicine, a designation reserved for APIs developed for use against rare, life-threatening, or chronically debilitating conditions or which, for economic reasons, would be unlikely to have been developed without aid. Approximately 4 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU) are affected by the hepatitis delta virus infection (totaling around 205,000 individuals): a segment small enough to be overlooked by the research community at large. It is CPC Scientific's honor to work towards the alleviation of human suffering on any scale, and an additional privilege to work with like-minded partners like MYR Pharmaceuticals.
