Find Clinical Drug Pipeline Developments & Deals for Dantrolene Sodium
NPJ5008 (dantrolene sodium hemiheptahydrate) is a RYR1 inhibitor, small molecule drug candidate. It is being evaluated for the treatment of malignant hyperthermia.
The accelerated share repurchase program will support Eagle's multiple anticipated and ongoing drug development activities which include RYANODEX franchise, anticipated near-term launch of vasopressin, and three potential oncology launches PEMFEXY, fulvestrant and SM-88.
The article reported results from an academic-based study that demonstrated dantrolene sodium administered intranasally improved both memory and cognition in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Eagle markets a formulation of dantrolene sodium but did not sponsor the study.
Eagle Pharmaceuticals and the University of Pennsylvania have entered a exclusive worldwide license agreement for the development of dantrolene sodium for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Under the terms of the agreement, NorthShore University HealthSystem will study Eagle’s RYANODEX® (dantrolene sodium) for traumatic brain injury (TBI) in animal models.
