MONTPELLIER, France, May 03, 2018 -- Sensorion (FR0012596468 – ALSEN), a biotech company specializing in the treatment of inner ear diseases, today announces that the World Health Organization (WHO) has granted the International Non-Proprietary Name (INN), seliforant, to its lead clinical candidate, SENS-111 for the treatment of vertigo of vestibular origin and currently in phase 2 clinical development being investigated for acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUV), a severe form of vertigo.
“We are pleased that the INN division of the WHO has granted the name seliforant to our investigational agent SENS-111,” said Nawal Ouzren, Chief Executive Officer of Sensorion. “This event signals continued progress for our lead clinical program and we look forward to results from the ongoing phase 2 trial, expected in end of this year.”
