Isotechnika’s kidney rejection drug gets generic name

Biopharmaceutical company Isotechnika has reported that the International Nonproprietary Name expert committee has accepted the proposed generic name of its lead immunosuppressive drug, ISA247. ISA247 will now be referred to as voclosporin.

Voclosporin is a next generation calcineurin inhibitor, which recently completed a Phase IIb North American trial for the prevention of kidney rejection following transplantation.

Robert Foster, Isotechnika’s chairman and CEO, said: “This completes the process, in combination with the earlier United States Adopted Names approval, of obtaining a generic name for our lead immunosuppressive drug.”
