Santhera Pharmaceuticals is a Swiss specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for neuro-ophthalmological, neuromuscular and pulmonary diseases that currently lack treatment options, such as Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Santhera's lead product Raxone® (idebenone) is authorized in the European Union, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Serbia and Israel for the treatment of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and is currently commercialized in more than 20 countries. Santhera is currently conducting the Phase III SIDEROS trial with Raxone® in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in respiratory function decline. In collaboration with the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Santhera is developing Raxone® in a third indication, primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), and another product – omigapil – for congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD), both also areas of high unmet medical need.
