Zug, Switzerland, 17 August 2020 – Arvelle Therapeutics, an emerging biopharmaceutical company focused on bringing innovative treatments to patients suffering from CNS disorders, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Durbin Group (Durbin), a specialist pharmaceutical supplier, for the distribution of cenobamate through a Managed Access Program (MAP). Through the MAP patients with drug-resistant focal onset seizures, with a physician-assessed clinical need, may be eligible to receive treatment with cenobamate prior to its commercial availability.
Commenting on the partnership, Ilise Lombardo MD, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Arvelle Therapeutics, said: “Over the past months we have received requests by European epileptologists with requests for access to cenobamate, indicating a high unmet need. As a result of increasing requests, we have selected a partner with extensive pan-European experience and regulatory expertise to support us with the MAP distribution. We are very pleased to partner with Durbin on this program.”
