SAN FRANCISCO, January 22, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Synosia Therapeutics
today announced the successful completion of its first clinical trial, a
proof-of-concept study that evaluated new therapeutic options for
SYN-111 (rufinamide), a sodium channel blocker. Rufinamide was
discovered and developed by Novartis and is currently marketed by Eisai
in Europe as a drug to treat a form of epilepsy. This first trial was
completed in less than seven months from design to final dosing and less
than a year after the rights to rufinamide in mood disorders were
obtained from Novartis in an exclusive licensing agreement.
