PRIME designation for MimeTech’s udonitrectag lysine for diabetic foot ulcers
Italian biotech MimeTech has announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has granted PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) designation to its investigational drug udonitrectag lysine for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
MimeTech has stressed the need for its drug given that existing measures for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers achieve complete healing in only 30% to 60% of cases within six months, with 40% one-year recurrence and amputation rates around 20% to 30% in complicated ulcers. The company argues that this represents a significant unmet medical need for innovative medicines capable of providing a clinically meaningful and durable improvement in healing and limb salvage.
