Biophytis Obtains IND Approval From the FDA to Start Its Phase 2 OBA Study in Obesity
PARIS, FRANCE AND CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESSWIRE / July 11, 2024 / Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris:ALBPS), ("Biophytis" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specialized in the development of therapeutics for age-related diseases, today announced that it has received Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its phase 2 OBA clinical study in obesity with BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone).
2024年7月11日，法國巴黎和美國馬薩諸塞州劍橋 / ACCESSWIRE / Biophytis SA（Euronext Growth Paris:ALBPS），一家專門從事研發治療年齡相關疾病的臨床生物技術公司，今天宣佈，其BIO101（20-羥基蛻皮激素）用於肥胖的第2期OBA臨床研究已經獲得食品和藥物管理局（FDA）的新藥研究申請（IND）批准。
The primary objective of the study is to measure the improvement in muscle strength in the lower limbs, as assessed by knee extension test. Secondary endpoints will include analysis of mobility (via the 6-minute walk test) and body composition (assessment of fat and lean mass). A world-renowned medical expert in the field of obesity and President-elect of the American Obesity Society, Marc-André Cornier, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases Unit at the Medical University of South Carolina, will be the principal investigator of the phase 2 OBA study.
該研究的主要目的是測量下肢肌肉力量的改善，通過膝關節伸展測試進行評估。次要終點包括分析活動度（通過6分鐘步行測試）和身體組成（評估脂肪和瘦肉量）。美國肥胖學領域的世界知名醫學專家，美國肥胖學會主席Marc-André Cornier，醫學教授，南卡羅來納醫科大學內分泌、糖尿病和代謝疾病科主任，將是第2期OBA研究的首席研究員。
Professor Marc-André Cornier commented: "I am very happy that the IND for the phase 2 OBA clinical study with BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone) has been approved by the FDA. It is critical for us to study the safety and efficacy of new therapies designed to reduce the risk of muscle mass loss and resulting muscle weakness with functional consequences that may be associated with incretin-based therapies. Additionally we might observe further weight loss over and above that obtainable with a GLP-1 RA."
Marc-André Cornier教授評論道：“我很高興FDA批准了BIO101（20-羥基蛻皮激素）在肥胖症第2期OBA臨床研究中的IND。對於我們來說，研究設計新療法的安全性和有效性以減少肌肉質量損失的風險，以及與腸肽類基於胰高血糖素樣肽-1受體激動劑相關的肌肉無力和力量功能的功能後果是至關重要的。此外，我們可能還會觀察到超過GLP-1 RA所能達到的進一步減輕體重。”
The multicenter study is due to start mid-2024 in the USA and could be extended to Europe. Preliminary results on the efficacy of BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone) are expected in 2025. Biophytis is seeking funding and partnerships to complete this study.
這項重心醫學研究將於2024年年中在美國啓動，並可能擴展到歐洲。有關BIO101（20-羥基蛻皮激素）的有效性的初步結果將於2025年公佈。Biophytis正在尋求資金和合作夥伴來完成這項研究。
Stanislas Veillet, CEO de Biophytis, stated: "Obesity represents a major medical challenge and a significant growth opportunity for Biophytis. The obesity treatment market, estimated at $6 billion in 2023, is expected to reach $100 billion by 2030, with an average annual growth rate of 42%. Obtaining an IND from the FDA is a crucial step that will enable us to make rapid progress in this indication and attract new pharmaceutical partners. We are convinced that BIO101 could become a reference treatment for preserving muscle mass, strength and function in obese patients treated with GLP-1 RAs. This development has convinced our partner Blanver in Latin America, and we are convinced that it will attract new ones in other regions of the world where obesity is a major health issue."
Biophytis的CEO Stanislas Veillet說：“肥胖症代表了一個重大的醫療挑戰和一個重要的增長機遇，Biophytis將從中受益。肥胖症治療市場在2023年估計爲60億美元，預計到2030年將達到1000億美元，平均年增長率爲42％。獲得FDA的IND是一個關鍵步驟，將使我們在這種情況下迅速取得進展並吸引新的製藥合作伙伴。我們相信，BIO101可以成爲肥胖症患者在GLP-1 RAs治療下維護肌肉質量、力量和功能的參考治療方法。這一發展已經使我們在拉丁美洲的合作伙伴Blanver深信不疑，我們相信它將吸引其他世界其他肥胖症患者的製藥公司的關注。
