项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tetra Discovery Partners proposes to develop a new treatment for major depressive disorder based on inhibition of phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B). Uniquely, the Tetra drug will address inflammation as a contributor to depression. This is a new mechanism of action for an antidepressant drug which should prove complimentary to current therapeutics. Addressing inflammation will target currently untreatable patients, such as those receiving interferon-a (IFNa) for viral illness, depressed patients with co-morbid psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, traumatic brain injury, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Given the limitations of current treatments, there is a need for new medications with novel mechanisms of action. The prevalence of major depression is staggering with around 20% of people experiencing depression at some point in their lives. The company estimates that 10-20% of patients with depression have inflammation and will be ideal candidates for the Tetra drug. The market for antidepressant drugs is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% to US $10.9 billion by 2018. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020, depression will rival heart disease as the health disorder with the highest disease burden in the world. The Phase II SBIR project will complete chemical optimization of a PDE4B inhibitor for use in human and the preclinical safety and toxicity studies needed for filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human clinical trials in major depression.

描述（由申请人提供）：TETRA发现伙伴建议基于抑制磷酸二酯酶4B（PDE4B）的重度抑郁症的新治疗方法。独特的是，TETRA药物将解决炎症，以造成抑郁症的原因。这是一种抗抑郁药的新作用机制，应与当前的治疗剂相称。解决炎症将针对目前不可治疗的患者，例如患有病毒疾病的干扰素A（IFNA），抑郁症患者，抑郁症患者，抑郁症患者，牛皮癣，炎症性肠病，创伤性脑损伤或创伤后应激障碍。鉴于当前治疗的局限性，需要具有新型作用机理的新药物。严重抑郁症的流行令人震惊，大约有20％的人在生活中遇到抑郁症。该公司估计，有10-20％的抑郁症患者患有炎症，将是TETRA药物的理想候选者。预计到2018年，抗抑郁药市场预计将以3.2％至109亿美元的复合年增长率增长。世界卫生组织预测，到2020年，抑郁症将成为世界上疾病负担最高的健康疾病。 II期SBIR项目将完成对人类使用的PDE4B抑制剂的化学优化，以及向美国食品药物管理局（FDA）提出研究新药（IND）所需的临床前安全性和毒性研究，以用于大抑郁症的人类临床试验。
