We are proud to announce that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has granted PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) designation to our investigational drug, Udonitrectag lysine, for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Existing measures for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers achieve complete healing in only 30–60% of cases within six …
On 15/11/2021, orphan designation (EU/3/21/2521) was granted by the European Commission to MIMETECH S.r.l., Italy, for Udonitrectag as treatment in solid organ transplantation. When organs are transplanted, the period in which they are cut off from their normal blood supply can lead to damage and death of cells that means …
