Ennar Pharma Switzerland

Ennar Pharma was founded in July 2010 to develop a better and safer topical treatment for mild-to-moderate psoriasis. Patents, protecting the technology, have been granted in Europe and the USA. The company is financially supported by an investment by EVA- a Basel based venture capital company- and uses a network of strategic partners to develop the production of EGF and develop a suitable cream-based pharmaceutical product. Producers for the cGMP production of high-quality EGF(epidermal growth factor) and for a stable cream formulation of the active ingredient have been contracted and a Proof-of-Concept trial is running at the Dermatology Clinic of the University of Zurich. The trial, which is carried out with mild-to-moderate psoriasis patients, aims to establish the validity of the mode-of-action proposed for the EGF-based topical formulation and test an optimised formulation for clinical efficacy and safety. Results of the trial are expected in Q1 2013.
