Regulatory News:
Sensorion (FR0012596468 – ALSEN) a pioneering
clinical-stage biotechnology company which specializes in the
development of novel therapies to restore, treat and prevent within
the field of hearing loss disorders, today announces that the
independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (or DSMB) has undertaken a
review of the safety data for the patients participating in the
NOTOXIS Phase 2a Proof-of-Concept (POC) clinical study of SENS-401
for the prevention of Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity (CIO).
The DSMB has recommended the continuation of the study and
confirmed the absence of any concern as to the safety of SENS-401
when administered in adult patients receiving a daily dose of 43.5
mg, administered twice daily, over a period of up to 23 weeks. Data
previously published in December 2023, indicated a favorable safety
profile when administered continuously for up to 11 weeks in
patients receiving SENS-401.
The patient enrolment continues to progress at a steady pace, in
13 clinical centers open to date. Sensorion's management team will
report preliminary safety and efficacy data of the Phase 2a POC
clinical trial of SENS-401 CIO at the World Congress of Audiology,
to be held on September 19-22, 2024, in Paris, France.
The NOTOXIS Phase 2a trial is a multicenter, randomized,
controlled, open-label study designed to assess the efficacy of
SENS-401 in preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in adult
patients with neoplastic disease, four weeks after completion of
cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The trial assesses several endpoints,
including the rate and severity of ototoxicity, changes in pure
tone audiometry (PTA) (dB) throughout the study compared to before
cisplatin treatment, and tolerability.
About SENS-401 SENS-401 (Arazasetron), Sensorion’s
clinical stage lead drug candidate, is an orally available small
molecule that aims to protect and preserve inner ear tissue from
damage responsible of progressive or sequelae hearing impairment.
Sensorion currently develops SENS-401 in a Phase 2a for the
prevention of residual hearing loss in patients scheduled for
cochlear implantation and in a Phase 2 clinical trial for the
prevention of Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity. SENS-401 has been
granted Orphan Drug Designation by the EMA in Europe for the
treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and by the FDA in
the U.S. for the prevention of platinum-induced ototoxicity in
pediatric population.
About Sensorion Sensorion is a pioneering clinical-stage
biotech company, which specializes in the development of novel
therapies to restore, treat, and prevent hearing loss disorders, a
significant global unmet medical need. Sensorion has built a unique
R&D technology platform to expand its understanding of the
pathophysiology and etiology of inner ear related diseases,
enabling it to select the best targets and mechanisms of action for
drug candidates. It has two gene therapy programs aimed at
correcting hereditary monogenic forms of deafness, developed in the
framework of its broad strategic collaboration focused on the
genetics of hearing with the Institut Pasteur. SENS-501 (OTOF-GT)
currently being developed in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, targets
deafness caused by mutations of the gene encoding for otoferlin and
GJB2-GT targets hearing loss related to mutations in GJB2 gene to
potentially address important hearing loss segments in adults and
children. The Company is also working on the identification of
biomarkers to improve diagnosis of these underserved illnesses.
Sensorion’s portfolio also comprises clinical-stage small molecule
programs for the treatment and prevention of hearing loss
disorders. Sensorion’s clinical-stage portfolio includes one Phase
2 product: SENS-401 (Arazasetron) progressing in a planned Phase 2
proof of concept clinical study of SENS-401 in Cisplatin-Induced
Ototoxicity (CIO) and, with partner Cochlear Limited, in a study of
SENS-401 in patients scheduled for cochlear implantation. A Phase 2
study of SENS-401 was also completed in Sudden Sensorineural
Hearing Loss (SSNHL) in January 2022. www.sensorion.com
