PharmNovo Advances Neuropathic Pain Treatment with New Trial
PharmNovo Receives Approval for Phase 2a Trial Initiation
In a significant milestone, Karolinska Development AB proudly announces that its portfolio company PharmNovo has received the green light to commence a phase 2a clinical trial of its drug candidate, PN6047. This important approval was granted by the regulatory authorities in Spain, marking a pivotal step in the journey to develop a new treatment for neuropathic pain. The trial isn’t just rooted in Spain; it is designed with adherence to the stringent standards outlined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring compliance and aligning goals in drug development.
Details of the Phase 2a Clinical Trial
PharmNovo's clinical trial application (CTA) has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by the Spanish Health Authorities. This phase 2a clinical trial is aimed at investigating the safety and efficacy of PN6047 in patients suffering from neuropathic pain. While initiation begins in Spain, PharmNovo also has plans to broaden the reach of the study by submitting applications in the Czech Republic and Poland. With the right funding, the company expects to start enrolling patients by mid-2026, further emphasizing its commitment to addressing severe pain conditions.
Alignment and Strategic Planning
Earlier this year, PharmNovo made significant strides by completing a pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting with the FDA. The current study is crafted in perfect alignment with the requirements set forth during that crucial meeting, and preparations for an IND application are already in progress. This meticulous planning underscores PharmNovo's commitment to compliance and thoroughness in every stage of development.
CEO's Insights on PN6047 Development
Viktor Drvota, the CEO of Karolinska Development, expressed optimism regarding the progress PharmNovo is making in the clinical development of PN6047. Drvota highlighted the potential of this innovative drug candidate, which promises to deliver effective relief from severe pain without the risk of addiction that is commonly associated with traditional opioids. Given the ongoing opioid crisis, this development could be a significant breakthrough in pain management.
The Promise of PN6047

This makes it particularly exciting as a new therapeutic option for complex pain conditions, potentially revolutionizing how pain is treated. As the most advanced drug candidate from PharmNovo, it stands on the forefront of innovative pain management strategies.
