Elan, a biotechnology company has entered into a manufacturing agreement with Lonza Group to supply active pharmaceutical ingredient for ELND005 (Scyllo-inositol).

The company plans to initiate a proof of concept, Phase II study in bipolar disorder.

Elan modified its Collaboration Agreement with Transition Therapeutics in December 2010, following which Transition exercised its opt-out right, and is not funding the development or commercialization of ELND005.
