For the commercial success of AT-007 in Europe, Advanz Pharma will be a great partner for APLT because of its dedication to enhancing patient lives, as well as its crucial infrastructure and knowledge in rare illnesses. This cooperation improves the financing position of the firm and moves APLT one step closer to making AT-007 accessible to patients with Galactosemia and SORD Deficiency, two crippling rare illnesses for which there are no alternative treatments currently in development.
A central nervous system (CNS) penetrant Aldose Reductase inhibitor (ARI) called AT-007 is being developed to treat a number of uncommon neurological conditions, such as Galactosemia, SORD Deficiency, and PMM2-CDG. In clinical studies, AT-007 significantly decreased plasma levels of galactitol in both children and adults with Galactosemia when compared to placebo. In addition to long-term open-label research in adults with Galactosemia, AT-007 is now being investigated in a Phase III clinical outcomes trial (ACTION-Galactosemia Kids) in children with Galactosemia ages 2 to 17.
According to the conditions of the contract
- Upon the conclusion of a clinical study and receiving marketing approval in Europe, as well as upon reaching specific commercial sales milestones, APLT will be compensated with certain near-term development milestones totaling more than €130 million, including an initial payment of €10 million.
- Any future net sales of 20% or more of AT-007 in Europe will result in royalties going to APLT.
- At-007’s development, production, and supply will continue to be handled by APLT, but its packaging, distribution, and marketing in Europe will be handled by Advanz Pharma.
- Exclusive commercial rights for AT-007 in Galactosemia and SORD Deficiency are granted to Advanz Pharma in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, along with some rights to AT-007’s potential future uses in Europe.
How would the chance aid APLT’s development?
For APLT, AT-007 represents a compelling scientific opportunity to treat rare diseases, including Galactosemia and SORD Deficiency. This partnership delivers on the commitment of Applied Therapeutics (APLT) to bring innovative products to market that serve an unmet medical need and to build a strong product pipeline to drive Advanz’s mid- and long-term growth.
