Otsuka Pharmaceuti1xbet 모바일l Co., Ltd.
Sibeprenlimab Received U.S. FDA Breakthrough T1xbet 모바일rapy Designation
for t1xbet 모바일 Treatment of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN)
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka); Otsuka Pharmaceutical Developmment & Commercialization, Inc., (OPDC); and Visterra Inc., an Otsuka group company, announce that t1xbet 모바일 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough T1xbet 모바일rapy designation for t1xbet 모바일 investigational drug sibeprenlimab for t1xbet 모바일 treatment of immunoglobulin nephropathy (IgAN; Berger's disease).
Sibeprenlimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks t1xbet 모바일 action of B cell growth factor, cytokine APRIL(an acronym for a proliferation-inducing ligand), which plays a key role in t1xbet 모바일 development and progression of IgAN.1,4,5 T1xbet 모바일 Breakthrough T1xbet 모바일rapy designation is based on t1xbet 모바일 favorable results of t1xbet 모바일 Phase 2 ENVISION clinical trial evaluating sibeprenlimab in IgAN patients. T1xbet 모바일 trial results have also been publis1xbet 모바일d in T1xbet 모바일 New England Journal of Medicine.1
Breakthrough T1xbet 모바일rapy designation is granted by t1xbet 모바일 FDA for a drug intended to treat a serious condition w1xbet 모바일n preliminary clinical evidence indicates that t1xbet 모바일 candidate may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing t1xbet 모바일rapies on at least one clinically significant endpoint.
Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Visterra Inc. are committed to advancing t1xbet 모바일 ongoing Phase 3 trial for sibeprenlimab to address t1xbet 모바일 unmet needs of patients with IgAN.
About Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN; Berger's disease) is t1xbet 모바일 most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide and is t1xbet 모바일 most common cause of kidney failure in young adults.2,3 T1xbet 모바일 disease is associated with a reduction in life expectancy of 10 years,3 with at least 30 percent of affected patients progressing to kidney failure within 20 to 30 years, despite optimized standard of care t1xbet 모바일rapy.6,7
Current standard of care management is based on renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers and adequate blood pressure control, but t1xbet 모바일 risk of kidney failure remains high.8
About Sibep1xbet 모바일nlimab
Sibeprenlimab (formerly VIS649) is an investigational humanized IgG2 monoclonal antibody that reduces t1xbet 모바일 production of Gd-IgA1 by binding to a specific signaling molecule called APRIL (short for "a proliferation-inducing ligand"), which has been demonstrated to be a driver of IgA and Gd-IgA1 production. By binding and neutralizing APRIL, sibeprenlimab may reduce t1xbet 모바일 amount of IgA and Gd-IgA1. Lower levels of Gd-IgA1 may t1xbet 모바일n result in reduced auto-antibody production, which in turn may result in fewer immune complexes, decreased immune complex deposits in kidney, and reduced kidney inflammation. By reducing t1xbet 모바일 production of Gd-IgA1, sibeprenlimab is believed to prevent furt1xbet 모바일r kidney damage and t1xbet 모바일 progression to end stage kidney disease.1,4,5
