Revive Therapeutics files pre-IND package to FDA for gout drug candidate REV-002

The submitted pre-IND package provides the US FDA with information on the company’s REV-002, as well as a clinical trial plan for a proposed US clinical trial.

The FDA’s response to the pre-IND package will serve as a guide to the company’s preparation of a full IND application.

The pre-IND submission follows the company’s recently announced meeting request letter submitted to the FDA and its announcement that it has signed a material transfer agreement (the MTA) with a global pharmaceutical company headquartered in Osaka, Japan.

The MTA has allowed the company to secure access to confidential information and clinical trial supply of REV-002 for a US-based trial.

Revive Therapeutics chief executive officer Fabio Chianelli said, "I am very pleased with this accomplishment as it paves the way for Revive’s second product scheduled for a human clinical trial and its first product for a human clinical trial in the US, the largest market for gout related products."
