Rhea-AI Summary

Fortress Biotech (FBIO) has initiated dosing in a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Triplex, a cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine, in stem cell donors. The trial aims to reduce CMV events in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

The multicenter, placebo-controlled study is funded by the National Cancer Institute and builds upon encouraging pilot study results. Triplex works by inducing CMV-specific immune responses in donors, which is then transferred to transplant recipients through adoptive immunity.

CMV reactivation affects 60-70% of CMV-seropositive HSCT recipients, with primary infection occurring in 20-30% of CMV-seronegative recipients. The trial is being conducted across three major transplant centers in the United States. A second NCI-funded trial is planned for higher-risk transplant recipients with partial HLA matches.

Rhea-AI Summary

Fortress Biotech and its subsidiary Cyprium Therapeutics announced that the U.S. FDA has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for CUTX-101 (Copper Histidinate) for the treatment of Menkes disease, a rare pediatric condition. The NDA has been granted Priority Review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of June 30, 2025.

In December 2023, Sentynl Therapeutics assumed responsibility for the development and commercialization of CUTX-101. Cyprium will receive royalties and up to $129 million in aggregate development and sales milestones, and retains ownership of any Priority Review Voucher issued upon NDA approval.

The NDA submission is supported by positive clinical efficacy results, showing a nearly 80% reduction in the risk of death for early-treated Menkes disease patients compared to untreated controls. Median overall survival was 177.1 months for the treated cohort versus 16.1 months for the control group. CUTX-101 has previously received multiple FDA designations, including Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug.

If approved, CUTX-101 could become the first FDA-approved treatment for Menkes disease.

Rhea-AI Summary

Sentynl Therapeutics has announced that the FDA has accepted and granted Priority Review to its New Drug Application (NDA) for CUTX-101, intended for the treatment of Menkes disease, a rare and fatal pediatric disorder.

The FDA has set a six-month review period with a target action date of June 30, 2025. If approved, CUTX-101 would be the first FDA-approved treatment for Menkes disease, which is caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene affecting copper transport in the body. Current estimates suggest a prevalence of 1 in 34,810 to 1 in 8,664 live male births.

Topline clinical efficacy results show that early treatment with CUTX-101 significantly improves overall survival in Menkes disease patients, reducing the risk of death by nearly 80% compared to an untreated historical control cohort. Median overall survival was 177.1 months for the early treatment cohort versus 16.1 months for the historical control.

Sentynl has taken over the development and commercialization of CUTX-101 from Cyprium Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Fortress Biotech. The drug has received multiple designations from the FDA, including Breakthrough Therapy, Fast Track, Rare Pediatric Disease, and Orphan Drug Designations, as well as Orphan Designation from the EMA.
