Collaboration Aims to Develop First Intranasal Therapy for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Aka Concussion, Establishing a Comprehensive Test-to-Treat Platform February 11, 2025 08:30 ET  | Source: Oragenics SARASOTA, Fla. and RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oragenics, Inc. (NYSE American: OGEN), a biotechnology company advancing innovative treatments for concussion and brain-related health conditions, today announced a strategic partnership with BRAINBox Solutions, a leader in multi-modality diagnostics for traumatic brain injury (TBI). This collaboration seeks to develop the first intranasal therapy for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) aka concussion, creating a comprehensive trigger-to-treat platform by combining BRAINBox’s advanced multimarker/ multimodality diagnostic capabilities with Oragenics’ novel therapeutic development. The partnership intends to integrate BRAINBox’s proprietary diagnostic product platform—which utilizes a combination of neurological biomarkers, neuropsychological assessments, and AI-driven analytics to provide early and accurate TBI assessments—with Oragenics’ intranasal therapeutic candidate, ONP-002. ONP-002 is designed to mitigate the effects of brain injury and promote recovery. Together, these technologies aim to transform the standard of care for concussion patients by providing rapid diagnosis, predictive prognosis, and timely, targeted treatment. “This collaboration represents a significant step forward in concussion care,” said Janet Huffman, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Oragenics. “By combining our innovative intranasal therapeutic with BRAINBox’s state-of-the-art diagnostic product platform, we hope to offer a comprehensive solution that addresses both the identification and treatment of mTBI, ultimately improving patient outcomes. We believe BRAINBox’s diagnostic tools will be instrumental in our upcoming Phase IIa trials, enabling precise patient selection and real-time monitoring of therapeutic efficacy.” BRAINBox’s testing platform offers both diagnostic and prognostic insights, identifying patients at higher risk for long-term symptoms and guiding personalized treatment strategies. Oragenics’ ONP-002, an intranasal neurosteroid therapeutic, has demonstrated significant potential in preclinical studies to reduce brain injury effects and support recovery. A Phase I clinical trial showed ONP-002 to be well-tolerated and Oragenics’ novel intranasal device to be easily operated. The integration of these technologies could lead to a seamless trigger-to-treat ecosystem, facilitating early intervention and improving outcomes for millions affected by TBI annually. Donna Edmonds, Chief Executive Officer of BRAINBox Solutions, added, “Partnering with Oragenics allows us to enhance the impact of our diagnostic technology by linking it directly to a promising therapeutic option. Together, we aim to set a new standard in the management of brain injuries, providing clinicians with the tools they need to deliver timely and effective care.” With over 5 million concussions occurring annually in the U.S. alone, there is a significant unmet need for effective diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. This partnership positions Oragenics and BRAINBox at the forefront of innovation in TBI care, offering a compelling opportunity for advancing healthcare solutions in neurology.
