Lupuzorβ’ Update
Β
ImmuPharma PLC (LSE:IMM), the specialist drug discovery and development company, provides an update on Lupuzorβ’, following the Company's recent announcement on 14 September 2022, that its US partner for Lupuzorβ’ (P140), Avion Pharmaceuticals ("Avion"), had received a written response from the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to the Type C meeting.
Β
In summary, the FDA response earlier this month, recommended assessing the potential to use higher dosing in the next clinical program of Lupuzorβ’ in Lupus, to optimise the clinical benefit to Lupus patients and to maximise efficacy. In addition, the FDA made additional recommendations on clinical measurements, again to support Lupuzorβ’ through the regulatory process to approval.
Β
Since then, both ImmuPharma and Avion, with their clinical and regulatory teams and advisors, have been reviewing in detail the FDA's written response and recommendations.
Β
Further details on the next steps for Lupuzorβ’ will be communicated to the market, once finalised between ImmuPharma and Avion.
