AI Summary
Evoke Pharma, Inc. announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for a U.S. patent application covering the use of GIMOTI® (metoclopramide) in patients with moderate to severe symptoms of gastroparesis. This patent, a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 11,517,545, expands the company’s intellectual property around the intranasal use of metoclopramide and is expected to expire in December 2036.
The company plans to list the patent in the FDA’s Orange Book, which could extend market exclusivity for GIMOTI® beyond existing patents. According to CEO Matt D’Onofrio, this new patent allowance provides additional protection by defining how and in which patients the therapy is used. This development reinforces GIMOTI®’s role as a unique non-oral treatment option, particularly beneficial for patients whose condition results in unpredictable absorption of oral medications.
