About Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Cortex is a leader in developing drugs for respiratory disorders, particularly sleep apneas and drug-induced respiratory depression, and owns patents and patent applications for certain families of chemical compounds that claim the chemical structures and their use in the treatment of these and other disorders.
Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 126 Valley Road, Suite C, Glen Rock, NJ 07452 www.cortexpharm.com
Drug candidates are currently derived from two platforms, as described below.
The first platform is the class of compounds known as cannabinoids, in particular, dronabinol. Under a license agreement with the University of Illinois, the Company has rights to patents claiming the use of cannabinoids for the treatment of sleep related breathing disorders. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending Phase 2A clinical study conducted by the Company, dronabinol produced a statistically significant reduction in the Apnea-Hypopnea Index, the primary therapeutic end-point, and was observed to be safe and well tolerated in a group of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The University of Illinois and three other centers currently are investigating dronabinol in a potentially pivotal, six week, 120 patient, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2B clinical trial in patients with OSA. This study, which the University of Illinois expects to be completed during the second quarter of 2016, is fully funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The Company is not involved in the management or funding of this ongoing clinical trial.
The second platform is a class of proprietary compounds known as ampakines that act to enhance the actions of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate at AMPA glutamate receptors. Several ampakines in both oral and injectable form are being developed by Cortex for the treatment of a variety of breathing disorders. In clinical studies, such drugs have shown preliminary efficacy in central sleep apnea and in antagonizing respiratory depression produced by opiates without altering their analgesic effects. Ampakines also have improved breathing in animal models of orphan disorders such as Pompé Disease, spinal cord damage and perinatal respiratory distress. The Company’s compounds belong to a new generation of ampakines that do not display the undesirable side effects displayed by earlier versions.
