FDA Grants Orphan Drug Status To
Wobe-Mugos For Multiple Myeloma
SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- August 10, 2000 -- The FDA has approved the Orphan Drug
application of Wobe-Mugos as an adjunct therapy for multiple myeloma. Wobe-Mugos
is a combination of systemic enzymes, used successfully in Europe in conjunction
with chemotherapy since 1977.
Numerous clinical trials have proven its efficacy in reducing the severity of
symptoms, extending life span and improving the quality of life of multiple
myeloma patients.
The orphan drug application was filed by Marlyn Nutraceuticals of Scottsdale,
AZ. The company conducts extensive in-house research and also collaborates with
numerous leading research institutions around the world to develop safe,
effective and wholesome solutions to healthcare problems.
Each year, roughly 13,000 Americans develop multiple myeloma, an incurable form
of cancer. The disease is characterized by the spread of cancerous
B-Lymphocytes, the antibody-producing cells of the body. There is no cure.
Currently, the only treatment is chemotherapy, and in some cases, bone marrow
transplant.
