About Reviva’s Lead Drug Candidate Brilaroxazine
Reviva’s breakthrough new chemical entity, brilaroxazine, has demonstrated potent affinity and selectivity against the key serotonin and dopamine receptors that are implicated in schizophrenia and its associated symptoms.
In a multinational, double-blind Phase 2 study with 234 patients with acute schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, brilaroxazine met its primary endpoint and showed statistically significant improvement of overall drug treatment outcomes. It was also observed to be safe, with no weight gain, no increase in blood sugar and lipids, and no cardiac or endocrine adverse effects compared to placebo.
As such, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has agreed to consider a potential superior safety label claim if a positive outcome is seen in a pivotal Phase 3 study in patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, Reviva is also looking to develop brilaroxazine for other neuropsychiatric indications such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Reviva is developing brilaroxazine, a promising treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This drug has shown impressive efficacy for mitigating lung fibrosis and inflammation in animal models, and the U.S. FDA has granted it Orphan Drug Designation for these conditions. With this drug, Reviva hopes to delay the progression of PAH and IPF and improve the lives of those affected by these diseases.
