Oxford, UK - 6 June 2019: Oxford Biomedica plc (LSE: OXB), a leading gene and cell therapy group, notes Axovant's six-month update from first cohort of the SUNRISE-PD Phase 2 trial of AXO-Lenti-PD gene therapy in Parkinson's disease.
Axovant reported six-month follow-up data from the first dose cohort in the open-label, dose-escalation portion of the ongoing SUNRISE-PD Phase 2 trial of AXO-Lenti-PD for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. AXO-Lenti-PD was observed to be generally well tolerated, with no serious adverse events related to the product or the procedure and patients showed continued improvement from baseline across multiple measurements.
The first patient in the second cohort of the SUNRISE-PD clinical study was dosed in April 2019 and Axovant expects initial three-month data in the fourth quarter of 2019.
