Über Newron Pharmaceuticals SpA:

Newron Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on novel therapies for diseases of the Central Nervous System and pain. Newron is undertaking phase III trials with safinamide for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in conjunction with its partner, Merck Serono, which has exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize the compound in PD, Alzheimer´s disease, and other therapeutic applications.

Newron recently reported excellent results for its compound ralfinamide in patients with Nerve Compression and Entrapment conditions, of which neuropathic low back pain (NLBP) represents the most common indication.
