Otsuka Provides Update on Sibeprenlimab, an Investigational Monoclonal Antibody for 1xbet 보너스 코드 Treatment of IgA Nephropathy in Adults
Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. (Otsuka) and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. (OPDC) announce 1xbet 보너스 코드 decision to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) in 1xbet 보너스 코드 U.S. for sibeprenlimab, an investigational drug for 1xbet 보너스 코드 treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgA nephropathy) in adults, in 1xbet 보너스 코드 first half of 2025. 1xbet 보너스 코드 update follows a recent meeting with 1xbet 보너스 코드 U.S. Food & Drug Administration to discuss 1xbet 보너스 코드 positive interim analysis results from 1xbet 보너스 코드 Phase 3 VISIONARY study (NCT05248646).
Sibeprenlimab is an 1xbet 보너스 코드vestigational, anti-APRIL monoclonal antibody (A PRoliferation-Induc1xbet 보너스 코드gLigand) that blocks a key initiating step in 1xbet 보너스 코드 immune pathogenic cascade of IgA nephropathy by limiting aberrant IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) production and immune complex formation. IgA nephropathy is a progressive, autoimmune, chronic kidney disease that can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) over 1xbet 보너스 코드 lifetime of most patients.1,2,3,4Otsuka was previously granted Breakthrough 1xbet 보너스 코드rapy designation for sibeprenlimab following favorable results of 1xbet 보너스 코드 Phase 2 ENVISION clinical trial.3
"We greatly appreciated 1xbet 보너스 코드 opportunity to discuss 1xbet 보너스 코드 positive interim data from 1xbet 보너스 코드 Phase 3 sibeprenlimab trial with 1xbet 보너스 코드 FDA and plan to incorporate 1xbet 보너스 코드 Agency's feedback as we prepare 1xbet 보너스 코드 BLA filing," said John Kraus, M.D., Ph.D., executive vice president and chief medical officer, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. "Otsuka is committed to 1xbet 보너스 코드 nephrology community and looks forward to bringing this innovative targeted 1xbet 보너스 코드rapy to people living with IgA nephropathy. We want to thank 1xbet 보너스 코드 patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals who continue to be such an important part of this process."
In October, Otsuka announced positive interim results from 1xbet 보너스 코드 Phase 3 sibeprenlimab trial. 1xbet 보너스 코드 ongoing Phase 3 study continues in a blinded manner to evaluate 1xbet 보너스 코드 change in kidney function over 24 months as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and is expected to be completed in early 2026. Fur1xbet 보너스 코드r prespecified and exploratory analyses of 1xbet 보너스 코드 data will be conducted to determine 1xbet 보너스 코드 full potential of sibeprenlimab for 1xbet 보너스 코드 treatment of IgA nephropathy and will be shared.
About Sibeprenlimab
Sibeprenlimab (formerly VIS649) was designed and engineered by Visterra, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary 1xbet 보너스 코드 Otsuka. Pre-clinical and early-stage trials 1xbet 보너스 코드 sibeprenlimab were also conducted by Visterra.
Sibeprenlimab is an investigational monoclonal antibody that blocks 1xbet 보너스 코드 action of APRIL (APRoliferation-Induc1xbet 보너스 코드gLigand), that plays a key role in IgA nephropathy's four-hit pathogenic cascade. APRIL is an important sustaining factor in IgA nephropathy progression by promoting 1xbet 보너스 코드 production of pathogenic Gd-IgA1 and immune complex formation. By binding and neutralizing APRIL, sibeprenlimab may help reduce 1xbet 보너스 코드 amount of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and Gd-IgA1. Lower levels of Gd-IgA1 may 1xbet 보너스 코드n result in reduced auto-antibody production, which in turn may result in fewer immune complexes, decreased immune complex deposits in 1xbet 보너스 코드 kidney, and reduced proteinuria and kidney inflammation. By reducing 1xbet 보너스 코드 production of Gd-IgA1, sibeprenlimab is expected to slow kidney damage and progression toward ESKD.1,2,3,5By blocking APRIL, sibeprenlimab may help address one of 1xbet 보너스 코드 IgA nephropathy-specific drivers for nephron loss.
About Immunoglobul1xbet 보너스 코드 A Nephropathy (IgAN) and APRIL
IgA nephropathy also known as Berger's disease, is a progressive, autoimmune, chronic kidney disease that typically manifests in adults aged 20-40 years and may lead to ESKD over 1xbet 보너스 코드 lifetime of most patients.4, 6, 7
IgA nephropathy is characterized by 1xbet 보너스 코드 accumulation of IgA in 1xbet 보너스 코드 kidneys - a type of antibody that plays a critical role in 1xbet 보너스 코드 immune system. IgA nephropathy can lead to progressive kidney dysfunction and, eventually, ESKD, impos1xbet 보너스 코드g a significant burden on patients.6Despite supportive care, including 1xbet 보너스 코드rapies that focus on treating 1xbet 보너스 코드 symptoms of IgA nephropathy, continued research in 1xbet 보너스 코드 disease remains crucial to uncovering opportunities for advancement in our understanding and treatment of patients.6
