Medidata’s technology to improve patient
experience, accelerate clinical trials, and streamline enrollment
process
Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes brand and leading provider of
clinical trial solutions to the life sciences industry, announced
today that it has been selected by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to
help advance PROGRESS, a Phase 2b study of LX9211 in diabetic
peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP), with the potential for LX9211
to become the first new, non-opioid drug approved for neuropathic
pain in over two decades. Medidata will enable Lexicon to
accelerate patient enrollment and clinical trials for Lexicon’s
AAK1 inhibitor LX9211, improving the patient experience with a
focus on addressing the high, unmet need for chronic neuropathic
pain therapies.
Lexicon will utilize Medidata’s Decentralized Clinical Trial
(DCT) solutions, incorporating artificial intelligence and
automation, to conduct real-time remote monitoring and data capture
from patients in a real-world setting, regardless of where the
trial participant is along their treatment journey.
“Our innovative technology is transforming how clinical trials
are initiated and managed, and ultimately improving patient
experience, supporting the development and approval for new
treatments faster than ever before,” said Anthony Costello, CEO,
Medidata. “We are honored to work with Lexicon to advance this
novel therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy with the potential
to positively impact the lives of patients suffering from this
condition.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, diabetic neuropathy is a serious
complication of diabetes that can affect as many as 50 percent of
patients suffering from this chronic disease. Currently, existing
treatments depend on opioids, which can have severe side effects,
including addiction, to relieve pain.
“With no new, non-opioid drugs approved for the treatment of
neuropathic pain in over two decades, we are excited about the
potential for LX9211,” said Craig Granowitz, M.D., Ph.D., senior
vice president and chief medical officer, Lexicon. “We are at a
critical juncture in our efforts to make this medication available
to diabetic patients suffering from neuropathic pain, and our
partnership with Medidata has been invaluable in advancing this
trial expeditiously and enrolling our first patients in the
PROGRESS study.”

About LX9211
Discovered using Lexicon’s unique approach to gene science,
LX9211 is a potent, orally delivered, selective investigational
small molecule inhibitor of adaptor-associated kinase 1 (AAK1).
Lexicon identified AAK1 in its target discovery efforts as a
promising approach for the treatment of neuropathic pain and
identified LX9211 and another development candidate in a
neuroscience drug discovery alliance with Bristol-Myers Squibb from
which Lexicon holds exclusive development and commercialization
rights. Preclinical studies of LX9211 demonstrated central nervous
system penetration and reduction in pain behavior in models of
neuropathic pain without affecting opiate pathways. LX9211 has
received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration for development in diabetic peripheral neuropathic
pain.
