BioMedNewsBreaks — Oragenics Inc. (NYSE American: OGEN) Reports Concussion Drug Stable Across Wide Range of Temps

Oragenics (NYSE American: OGEN), a company focused on developing unique, intranasal pharmaceuticals for the treatment of neurological disorders, recently completed the synthesis of its ONP-002 drug batch for its upcoming planned phase 2 clinical trial. Consequently, the company is reporting that ONP-002, its lead candidate for treating concussion, is stable across a wide temperature range, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome cold storage during transport and storage. Specifically, the company reported three-month stability with more than 99% purity at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 104°C.

“We understand the importance of getting ONP-002 into the brain quickly after concussive injury to squelch the pathological cascade of inflammation and oxidative stress,” said Oragenics chief clinical officer Frank Peacock, MD, in the press release. “As an emergency medicine physician, I am especially excited to find out that Oragenics’ drug is expected to maintain its function out in the field where we plan to administer the initial dose. While there is currently no drug treatment for concussion, we believe strongly that targeting the brain intranasally during the acute field-phase will improve treatment efficacy.”
