iQ-007 Shows No Abuse Potential in FDA-Recommended Panel of Tests
15 Nov 2022
Princeton, NJ, November 15, 2022 ─ iQure Pharma Inc. (iQure), a US-based global biotech company, has confirmed through preclinical screenings that iQ-007, a novel anticonvulsant and analgesic compound, showed no binding to targets in the drug abuse potential panel.
In line with the FDA guidance document, “Assessment of abuse potential of drugs” from January 2017, a full set of 44 potential targets were tested against a high dose of 100 uM of iQ-007 and no relevant binding was observed.
“This is very good news and an important step in the continued development of iQ-007 as a promising therapeutic,” said iQure Chief Operating Officer Henk de Wilde. “With so many drugs in the epilepsy and pain area showing abuse potential, it is comforting to know that iQ-007 shows no potential for abuse and truly is a non-opioid therapeutic.”
