About arimoclomol
Arimoclomol is an investigational drug candidate that amplifies the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs). HSPs can rescue defective misfolded proteins and improve the function of lysosomes. Arimoclomol is administered orally, and has now been studied in 10 Phase 1, four Phase 2, and three pivotal Phase 2/3 trials. Arimoclomol has received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for NPC in the US and EU. Arimoclomol has received Fast-Track Designation (FTD), Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD), and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NPC. On June 17, 2021, Orphazyme received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA regarding its New Drug Application
for arimoclomol for the treatment of NPC. The Company plans to request a Type C Meeting with the FDA in Q2 2022. On February 23, 2022, the EMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a negative Trend Vote on the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for arimoclomol in NPC filed with the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The Company has subsequently decided to withdraw its MAA.
