Acorda Therapeutics (NSDQ:ACOR) said today that the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended approval of its Inbrija device for the intermittent treatment of “off” episodes in people with Parkinson’s disease.
The self-administered, inhaled therapy is designed for people experiencing a re-emergence of Parkinson’s symptoms.
