BHR was notified in June that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research had completed its special protocol review and the SyNAPSe trial design and planned analysis adequately address the objectives necessary to support a regulatory submission.  Under the FDA Special Protocol Agreement, BHR will be able to seek marketing approval of BHR-100 without additional pivotal trials, provided the SyNAPSe study results meet specific statistical significance targets and other measures.  The trial is posted on www.clinicaltrials.

Last December, BHR announced that its product had been granted orphan drug status by the FDA Office of Orphan Products Development for early intervention in the treatment of moderate-to-severe closed-head TBI.  The FDA only designates orphan-drug status on novel drugs or biologics that treat a rare disease or condition affecting less than 200,000 Americans.  

The FDA also notified BHR in March that its agent had received a Fast Track Development Program designation.  That designation accelerates the approval of investigational new drugs undergoing clinical trials. It is often granted to agents that show promise in treating serious, life-threatening medical conditions for which no other drug either exists or works as well.
