BOSTON and ATLANTA, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: IKT) (Inhibikase), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics to modify the course of Parkinson's disease and related disorders, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 and highlighted recent developments.
Key Business and Clinical Highlights
- Dosed first patient in the Phase 1b clinical trial of IkT-148009: In October 2021 Inhibikase dosed the first patient in its Phase 1b clinical trial of IkT-148009, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of IkT-148009. The trial will enroll a total of 24 patients with Parkinson's disease and also assess non-motor and motor function, gut motility, and measures of alpha-synuclein aggregate clearance, as exploratory endpoints. The Company expects to complete this study and, with the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), advance into a Phase 2a study in 2022.
- Extended Phase 1 clinical trial of IkT-148009 to higher doses: In October 2021, Inhibikase expanded dosing of IkT-148009 in older and elderly healthy volunteers up to a single 250 mg dose to identify the maximum tolerated dose. This extension was based on the safety and tolerability profile observed in the initial dose cohorts of the Phase 1 study.
- Submitted interim three-month results from chronic toxicology studies of IkT-148009 to FDA: In October 2021, Inhibikase reported that it had submitted interim three-month results from its ongoing chronic toxicology studies of IkT-148009 in rats and non-human primates to the FDA. Data indicated that the toxicology profile of IkT-148009 improves with extended daily oral dosing and supports evaluation in Parkinson's patients for up to three months.
- Received grant from U.S. National Institutes of Health to evaluate IkT-148009 for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy: In September 2021, Inhibikase was awarded a research grant from the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke (NINDS), an Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to evaluate the mechanism of the MSA disease process and the therapeutic potential of IkT-148009 in preclinical studies.
"Over the past quarter, we have worked diligently to advance our lead candidate, IkT-148009 in multiple indications. We dosed the first Parkinson's patient in our Phase 1b study as well as submitted interim chronic toxicology data to the FDA to support extended dosing of IkT-148009. We were also pleased to receive a grant from the NIH to evaluate IkT-148009 in a novel preclinical model of MSA, a neurodegenerative disease that may benefit from c-Abl inhibition," commented Milton Werner, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Inhibikase. "As we look ahead, we expect to file our IND application for IkT-001Pro for the treatment of CML in the first quarter of 2022 as well as anticipate completing our Phase 1b study for Ikt-148009 in 2022."
