Tenax Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TENX) stock is rocketing higher on Thursday after getting an update on one of its patents.

That includes a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This covers the company’s “use of IV levosimendan in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF).”

Tenax Therapeutics notes that this patent will provide its IP with protection up to 2040. It also builds on another patent issued to the company in January 2022. That covers the medical use of subcutaneous formulation of levosimendan in humans.

Dr. Stuart Rich, CMO of Tenax Therapeutics, said the following about the news:

“A recent American Heart Association Science Advisory* remarked that PH-HFpEF is a growing epidemic with high mortality that must be met with novel solutions. Levosimendan is the first therapy to show clinical benefit in a randomized controlled trial in this population. We expect the granting of this IP protection will allow us to proceed with the development of a desperately needed treatment for these patients.”
