SACRAMENTO, Calif. (October 28, 2021) – MMS Holdings (MMS) – a data-focused CRO – provided regulatory strategy support to Praxis Bioresearch in the development of a therapeutic for apathy in Alzheimer’s disease. This comes as Praxis was awarded a $2.9 Million Fast-Track SBIR Grant to advance the company’s lead development candidate PRX-P4-003.  

Experts at MMS provided regulatory strategy, writing and operations support, including submission publishing, through an exploratory IND and pre-IND submission, with contributions made from a global team on a 24-hour support clock.  

“This submission, especially the use of an exploratory IND, shows how MMS is highly supportive of the most efficient ways to get our Sponsors to FDA approvals,” said Ben Kaspar, Director of Regulatory Affairs, MMS. “Our Sponsors are at an advantage when we provide focused and concise support when needed.” 

Dr. Uma Sharma, Chief Scientific Officer at MMS, added, “Our continued support and partnership with Praxis Bioresearch as they are awarded a fast-track SBIR Grant will lead to innovative therapies for neurological disorders. We’re grateful to be able to contribute to the development of life-changing treatments.”
