Supernus Pharmaceuticals has won Food and Drug Administration approval for its Onapgo device to treat patients with Parkinson's disease.
Supernus on Tuesday said the FDA green light makes Onapgo the first and only subcutaneous apomorphine infusion device for the treatment of motor fluctuations in adults with advanced forms of the neurodegenerative disorder.
The Rockville, Md., biopharmaceutical company said it plans to make Onapgo available in the second quarter.
Supernus said Onapgo is a wearable infusion device that provides continuous treatment during the waking day for more consistent control of off periods, which can occur in people with Parkinson's disease when there is a return of symptoms in between medication doses.
Shares of Supernus were recently up 5.5% to $39.42.
