Mesa Green Pharma LLC. Receives Positive Feedback from FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine
FREDERICK, Md. September 21,2021— Mr. Michael Mesa, CEO of Mesa Green Pharma (MGP) stated that “company representatives met with FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) on September 9, 2021, to discuss the company’s development program for K9MGP.” MGP is developing K9MGP as a treatment to stop active generalized seizures in canines that can be administered at home by the pet-owner. Mr. Mesa also advised that “once approved, K9MGP will be the only FDA approved product to treat active generalized seizures in canines. K9MGP will fill a significant unmet need in canine health care by providing treatment as soon as possible after a seizure begins to minimize canine brain damage and improve quality of life for the pet and its owner alike.”
At the meeting MGP introduced data from pilot studies completed at the University of Minnesota in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic that demonstrated when administered in an intramuscular injection via a prototype auto-injector system, K9MGP reaches the dog brain rapidly, and quickly achieves a therapeutic blood level. MGP believes the pilot study supports the continued development of the innovative approach to solving the seizure treatment unmet need. These data will be presented at the December 2021 American Epilepsy Society Meeting.
Discussions with CVM during this meeting provide confidence for MGP’s plans to open an Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) file in 1Q2022. Once the INAD is open, MGP will discuss details regarding the Target Animal Safety Study and the Effectiveness Study with CVM before submitting a request for Expanded Conditional Approval.
Mesa Green Pharmaceutical Company, a subsidiary of Mesa Science Associates Inc, is a veteran owned business with offices inside the Frederick Innovation Technology Center (FITCI), which is in Frederick MD.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ANNOUNCES 51 “BUILD TO SCALE” GRANTS TOTALING $47 MILLIONTO FUEL INNOVATION AND TECH-BASED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Contact: EDA Public Affairs Department, (202) 482-4085
October 5, 2022
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo announced that the Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding 51 “Build to Scale” grants – totaling $47 million – to organizations that support technology entrepreneurs, catalyze innovation and fuel economic growth.
EDA’s “Build to Scale” program provides annual grants that aim to accelerate technology entrepreneurship by increasing inclusive access to entrepreneurial support and startup capital. The 2022 awardees will leverage an additional $48 million in matching funds from a variety of private and public sector sources. These EDA investments support advanced manufacturing, bioscience, clean energy and blue economy clusters in regions throughout the United States.
"Strengthening technology ecosystems are a critical key to the Biden Administration's efforts to build a stronger America,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “Innovation and entrepreneurship have long been keys to American success and will continue to strengthen our collective economic and national security, as well as individual prosperity and well-being.”
"EDA is proud to partner with this year's 'Build to Scale' grantees as they invest in entrepreneurs and create equitable access to capital in their communities," said Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Alejandra Y. Castillo. "These projects will give the next generation of industry-leading companies a seminal boost that will result in job creation and private investment – potentially transforming a regional economy and creating economic opportunity beyond what we can foresee.”
The 2022 Build to Scale program was comprised of two competitions––the Venture Challenge and the Capital Challenge. The Venture Challenge supports programs that enable high-growth technology entrepreneurship and foster inclusive access to proven entrepreneurship support models. The Capital Challenge increases access to capital in communities where risk capital is in short supply by providing operational support for early-stage investment funds, networks, and training programs that focus on both traditional and hybrid equity-based financing.
