CeNeS Pharmaceuticals PLC Release: FDA Approves IND on Lead Product M6G

CeNeS Pharmaceuticals plc (LSE: CEN), the Cambridge based biopharmaceutical company, today announces that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the clinical development of morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G), its novel drug for the treatment of post-operative pain. Earlier this year, CeNeS announced results of a Phase III study of M6G in Europe in over 500 patients with post-operative pain. The study demonstrated that M6G provided equivalent pain relief to morphine but induced significantly less post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
