Nurexone Biologic Inc. has completed a pre-IND meeting with the FDA in connection with the manufacturing, preclinical and clinical development plan of Exopten. Exopten is being developed to be a minimally invasive Exotherapy product for spinal cord injuries given intranasally and yielding neuron regeneration and rewiring in traumatically damaged spinal cords.

Nurexone Biologic Inc. is developing Exopten as a minimally invasive Exotherapy for spinal cord injuries (SCI). The company's platform produces and loads exosomes with pharmaceutical cargo, targeting SCI intranasally in the case of lead product Exopten.

A noninvasive method for administering monoclonal antibodies reliably and reproducibly to central nervous system (CNS) targets remains a significant unmet need. Researchers in Switzerland have reported making headway in bypassing the blood-brain barrier through the intranasal delivery of full-length antibodies in rodent models. They show this delivery route leads to rapid transfer of significant amounts of a mouse antibody targeted against Nogo-A, a membrane protein that inhibits growth of neurites in the brain and spinal cord.
