Israeli biomed firm Mapi Pharma Ltd., which is a development stage pharmaceutical company, received a $10 million investment led by Shavit Capital in a Series A financing round that included participation by the company’s chairman and CEO Mr. Ehud Marom. The funding will be used to support the company’s clinical development plans.
The company says tha the new funds are sufficient to advance its lead product, the Glatiramer Acetate (GA) Depot, a once every four weeks injection, currently at Phase II, up to the initiation of the single pivotal Phase III needed for registration. This path follows the recommendations made during a pre-IND meeting the company had with the FDA in March 2015.
