Applied Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of novel drug candidates against validated molecular targets in indications of high unmet medical need, announced a partnership with Advanz Pharma, a pharmaceutical company with a strategic focus on commercialization of specialty, hospital, and rare disease medicines, for commercialization of AT-007 (govorestat) in Europe.

“We believe Advanz Pharma is an ideal partner for commercialization of AT-007 in Europe,” said Shoshana Shendelman, PhD, Founder and CEO of Applied Therapeutics. “Advanz Pharma’s commitment to improving the lives of patients alongside their critical infrastructure and expertise in rare diseases positions them well for commercial success. This partnership brings us one step closer to making AT-007 available to patients with Galactosemia and SORD Deficiency – both debilitating rare diseases with no other therapies currently available – and strengthens Applied Therapeutics’ capital position.”

“We are pleased to partner with Applied Therapeutics,” said Susanna El-Armale, Chief Corporate Development Officer of Advanz. “We believe that AT-007 represents a compelling scientific opportunity to treat rare diseases, including Galactosemia and SORD Deficiency. This partnership delivers on our commitment to bring innovative products to market that serve an unmet medical need and to build a strong product pipeline to drive Advanz’s mid- and long-term growth.”
