Prilenia, a private biopharmaceutical company with a highly committed and talented global team, is seeking a Senior / Executive Director, Program Management located in Europe, Israel or the United States, east coast location is strongly preferred.

Being part of Prilenia is being a part of a simple but urgent mission – the development of transformative medicines for people affected by devastating neurodegenerative diseases. Driven by an unwavering commitment to scientific excellence, Prilenia is developing pridopidine, a first-in-class potentially neuroprotective sigma‑1 receptor (S1R) agonist, which, if approved by the EMA later this year, could be the first approved drug to impact clinical disease progression and not just manage symptoms.

Prilenia holds Orphan Drug designation for pridopidine in HD and ALS in the U.S. and EU. In addition, pridopinci has received Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HD. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted for review Prilenia’s European Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) seeking regulatory approval of pridopidine for the treatment of HD. This is the first submission seeking approval for a potential treatment that can impact clinical progression in HD. For ALS, Prilenia also plans to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 trial to evaluate pridopidine.
