The Clinical Pipeline:
Prosaptide
is a peptide sequence in development for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic
pain, a serious and debilitating condition that usually affects the feet and legs.
A Phase II human clinical trial of Prosaptide demonstrated that it effectively
decreases pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy without deleterious
side effects. A Phase II study in HIV/AIDS neuropathic pain is in progress to
supplement these findings.
Puricase® is Savient’s genetically engineered polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugate
of uricase, an enzyme that converts uric acid into a highly soluble and more easily
excreted product. A Phase II study of Puricase for the elimination of excess uric
acid in individuals with symptomatic gout that is unresponsive to conventional
treatment is in progress. Puricase has received FDA Orphan Drug designation for
this indication.
