"We are encouraged by the continued progress of the single ascending dose study of FX201,” said Michael Clayman, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Flexion Therapeutics. “OA is a painful, progressive disease which has no cure and although it remains early days, the data from the first cohort of five patients supports the advancement of this important program which we believe could establish a new standard for durability of pain relief and potentially modify disease progression."
The open-label, dose-escalation study is expected to enroll 15 to 24 patients, 30-80 years of age and test three doses (low, mid and high dose) of FX201 in cohorts of five to eight patients. Each patient will only receive one injection of FX201. Following the completion of the first cohort in which five patients (Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2 or 3) were treated with the low dose of FX201, safety data were collected and reviewed by an independent DMC. After evaluating the first cohort safety data, the DMC supported continuing the trial and initiating treatment in the next dosing cohort which will include KL Grade 4 patients. The Company anticipates data from the study will be available in 2021.
About FX201FX201 (humantakinogene hadenovec) is a novel, intra-articular gene therapy product candidate which utilizes a helper-dependent adenovirus (HDAd) vector based on human serotype 5 (Ad5) that is designed to transfer a gene to cells in the joint to produce an anti-inflammatory protein, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), under the control of an inflammation-sensitive promoter. Inflammation is a known cause of pain, and chronic inflammation is thought to play a major role in the progression of OA. By persistently suppressing inflammation, Flexion believes FX201 holds the potential to provide long-term pain relief and functional improvement, and to modify the disease.
