Quantum Genomics has signed a strategic contract with Delpharm for the manufacture of the next clinical batches of firibastat tablets on an industrial scale and the establishment of production lines for future commercial batches.
The efficacy of firibastat, the first drug-candidate of the class of brain aminopeptidase A inhibitors, is currently being evaluated in an international phase III clinical trial (FRESH study) in uncontrolled hypertensive patients despite a treatment comprising at least two classes of antihypertensive drugs including a diuretic, and in a phase II clinical trial (QUORUM study) in patients after myocardial infarction.
"We are very pleased to entrust the production of future firibastat tablets to Delpharm, whose expertise in pharmaceutical development and size with its numerous production sites make it one of the European leaders in the sector. For more than 30 years, Delpharm team has built a solid reputation as a drug producer serving the most demanding pharmaceutical companies and groups," said Fabrice Balavoine, Vice-President Research and Development of Quantum Genomics.
