Clinical Data Support Cardiac Safety of EVK-001
SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Feb. 17, 2016 -- Evoke Pharma, Inc. (EVOK), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on treatments for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, today announced that data from the Company’s successful thorough electrocardiogram (ECG) study of EVK-001, its metoclopramide nasal spray product candidate, were accepted for presentation at Digestive Disease Week 2016. As previously announced, this thorough ECG study demonstrated that EVK-001 did not prolong the cardiac QT and corrected QT (QTc) intervals in healthy subjects across a range of plasma concentrations.
Evoke designed the study in accordance with published FDA and ICH guidance on the clinical evaluation of QT/QTc interval prolongation and the proarrhythmic potential of non-cardiac drugs. The QT interval represents the amount of time the heart's electrical system takes to repolarize, or recharge, after each beat, and prolongation of the interval may increase the risk for cardiac arrhythmias.
WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 11, 2016 -- AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMAG) today provided a business update, announced preliminary unaudited fourth quarter and annual 2015 financial results and provided 2016 financial guidance. The company will present further details at the 34th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time.
