About Cynapsus
Cynapsus is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing a sublingual thin filmstrip for the acute rescue of OFF motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Cynapsus’ drug candidate, APL-130277, is an easy-to-use, fast-acting formulation of apomorphine, which is the only approved drug (in the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries) to rescue patients from OFF episodes. Cynapsus is focused on maximizing the value of APL-130277 by completing pivotal studies in advance of a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) expected to be submitted in 2016.
More than 1 million people in the U.S. and an estimated 4 to 6 million people globally suffer from Parkinson's disease. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease that impacts motor activity, and its prevalence is increasing with the aging of the population. OFF episodes are a complication of Parkinson’s disease that leave patients rigid and unable to move and communicate. An estimated one quarter to one half of all people with Parkinson’s disease whose symptoms are otherwise managed with ongoing drug therapy experience OFF episodes at least once daily and up to six times daily, with each episode lasting between 30 and 120 minutes.
