Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

INB-100 continues to demonstrate durable complete remissions (CR) with no relapses observed in any acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients including those with high-risk disease after a median follow-up of 19.7 months. Data highlights INB-100’s long-term impact, exhibiting durable in vivo expansion and persistence of allogeneic gamma-delta T cells 365 days following a single administration of INB-100, demonstrating the first-ever durable persistence and expansion of an allogeneic cellular therapy. New clinical data, including results from the INB-100 expansion cohort and control data, expected to be available in the first half of 2025. Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies, today announced updated data from the ongoing Phase 1 trial of INB-100, an allogeneic, haploidentical gamma-delta T cell therapy in older patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplant (HSCT) with reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) at the 2024 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, being hosted in San Diego, CA. “This data demonstrates the potential of allogeneic INB-100 gamma-delta T cells to provide durable relapse-free remissions in high-risk or relapsed AML patients undergoing HSCT,” said Dr. Joseph P. McGuirk, Schutte-Speas Professor of Hematology-Oncology, Division Director, Hematologic Malignancies and Cellular Therapeutics Medical Director, Blood and Marrow Transplant, The University of Kansas Cancer Center. “Older, frailer patients who receive non-myeloablative, reduced intensity conditioning regimens typically have a significant risk of relapse. Historically, approximately 25% of AML patients undergoing HSCT would be expected to have a leukemic relapse within the first 100 days post-transplant, with up to nearly 50% of such patients experiencing relapse by one-year, which remains the primary cause of death. The longer AML patients remain in remission post-HSCT, the greater their probability of survival. These observed long-term durable remissions using allogeneic gamma-delta T cells are very encouraging and we look forward to announcing additional data next year.” In a poster presentation, IN8bio reported that there have been no newly reported deaths or relapses as of September 30, 2024. As of that cutoff date, median CR was at 16.4 months following a median of 19.2 months of follow-up. As previously reported, all patients (n=10) remained alive, progression-free, and in durable CR through one-year. 100% of AML patients remain in CR after a median 19.7 months of follow-up with three patients with high-risk cytogenetic AML and receiving no maintenance therapy remaining in mCR for greater than three years. INB-100 continues to demonstrate in vivo expansion and persistence of an haplo-matched allogeneic, or donor-derived cellular, therapy at 365 days with blood levels of gamma-delta T cells surpassing levels previously observed to be associated with greater survival. The persistence of these cells is suggestive of continued gamma-delta T cell surveillance against leukemic relapse. In addition to the reported complete responses, INB-100 continued to demonstrate a well-tolerated safety profile with no cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurotoxicity (ICANS) observed and limited mild infections. Based upon these encouraging results, the INB-100 trial has been expanded to enroll additional patients at Dose Level (DL) 2, the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Enrollment of additional patients into the expansion cohort is on-going and updated data, are expected to be reported in the first half of 2025. The Phase 1 investigator-sponsored trial enrolled and treated ten patients at one of two dose levels (D1 or D2). The median age was 68 years with the majority of patients diagnosed with AML in CR1. Two patients (009 and 011) had TP53 mutations, a tumor suppressor that results in poor prognosis, rapid progression and reduced lifespan due to an inability to respond to mutated or damaged DNA. The latest INB-100 trial data on immune reconstitution continues to show significant allogeneic gamma-delta T cell expansion and persistence in patients through the first 365 days post-treatment. As of September 30, 2024, 100% of patients (n=10) surpassed one-year survival following their haplo-matched transplant and treatment with INB-100. Historically, approximately 25% of patients relapse by 100 days and 40-50% of patients relapse by one year. Updated safety data includes: No dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and no treatment related deaths were observed. Low grade (1-2) acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) observed in 60% of patients treated. Cases were all steroid responsive. Treatment-related serious adverse events included Grade 2 rash (60%) and Grade 3 nausea (20%). One patient death previously reported due to idiopathic pulmonary syndrome likely related to the underlying HSCT at 15.5 months, without disease progression. No ICAN, CRS, or major infections were observed. Seven patients across DL 1 and DL 2 remained on study and in CR, with three having surpassed three years, including one now remaining progression free for over four years.

About Tyvaso® Inhalation Solution and Tyvaso DPI® Inhalation Powder INDICATION TYVASO (treprostinil) Inhalation Solution and TYVASO DPI (treprostinil) Inhalation Powder are prostacyclin mimetics indicated for the treatment of: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; WHO Group 1) to improve exercise ability. Studies with TYVASO establishing effectiveness predominately included patients with NYHA Functional Class III symptoms and etiologies of idiopathic or heritable PAH (56%) or PAH associated with connective tissue diseases (33%). The effects diminish over the minimum recommended dosing interval of 4 hours; treatment timing can be adjusted for planned activities. While there are long-term data on use of treprostinil by other routes of administration, nearly all clinical experience with inhaled treprostinil has been on a background of an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) and/or a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor. The controlled clinical experience with TYVASO was limited to 12 weeks in duration. Pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD; WHO Group 3) to improve exercise ability. The study with TYVASO establishing effectiveness predominately included patients with etiologies of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) (45%) inclusive of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) (25%), and WHO Group 3 connective tissue disease (22%). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS TYVASO and TYVASO DPI are pulmonary and systemic vasodilators. In patients with low systemic arterial pressure, either product may produce symptomatic hypotension. Both products inhibit platelet aggregation and increase the risk of bleeding. Co-administration of a cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 enzyme inhibitor (e.g., gemfibrozil) may increase exposure (both C max and AUC) to treprostinil. Co-administration of a CYP2C8 enzyme inducer (e.g., rifampin) may decrease exposure to treprostinil. Increased exposure is likely to increase adverse events associated with treprostinil administration, whereas decreased exposure is likely to reduce clinical effectiveness. Like other inhaled prostaglandins, TYVASO and TYVASO DPI may cause acute bronchospasm. Patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other bronchial hyperreactivity, are at increased risk for bronchospasm. Ensure that such patients are treated optimally for reactive airway disease prior to and during treatment with TYVASO and TYVASO DPI. DRUG INTERACTIONS/SPECIFIC POPULATIONS The concomitant use of either product with diuretics, antihypertensives, or other vasodilators may increase the risk of symptomatic hypotension. Human pharmacokinetic studies with an oral formulation of treprostinil (treprostinil diolamine) indicated that co-administration of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 enzyme inhibitor, gemfibrozil, increases exposure (both C max and AUC) to treprostinil. Co-administration of the CYP2C8 enzyme inducer, rifampin, decreases exposure to treprostinil. It is unclear if the safety and efficacy of treprostinil by the inhalation route are altered by inhibitors or inducers of CYP2C8. Limited case reports of treprostinil use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. However, pulmonary arterial hypertension is associated with an increased risk of maternal and fetal mortality. There are no data on the presence of treprostinil in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. Across clinical studies used to establish the effectiveness of TYVASO in patients with PAH and PH‑ILD, 268 (47.8%) patients aged 65 years and over were enrolled. The treatment effects and safety profile observed in geriatric patients were similar to younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of hepatic, renal, or cardiac dysfunction, and of concomitant diseases or other drug therapy. ADVERSE REACTIONS Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (WHO Group 1) In a 12-week, placebo-controlled study (TRIUMPH I) of 235 patients with PAH (WHO Group 1 and nearly all NYHA Functional Class III), the most common adverse reactions seen with TYVASO in ≥4% of PAH patients and more than 3% greater than placebo were cough (54% vs 29%), headache (41% vs 23%), throat irritation/pharyngolaryngeal pain (25% vs 14%), nausea (19% vs 11%), flushing (15% vs <1%), and syncope (6% vs <1%). In addition, adverse reactions occurring in ≥4% of patients were dizziness and diarrhea. In a 3-week, open-label, single-sequence, safety and tolerability study (BREEZE) conducted in 51 patients on stable doses of TYVASO who switched to a corresponding dose of TYVASO DPI, the most commonly reported adverse events seen with TYVASO DPI in ≥4% of PAH patients during the 3-week treatment phase included cough (35.3%), headache (15.7%), dyspnea (7.8%), and nausea (5.9%). Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with ILD (WHO Group 3) In a 16-week, placebo-controlled study (INCREASE) of 326 patients with PH-ILD (WHO Group 3), adverse reactions with TYVASO were similar to the experience in studies of PAH.

(KVK), today announced the successful registration of Lomaira™ in Mexico. Post this KVK Tech Manufacturing Facility (Newtown, Pennsylvania) Lomaira is an appetite suppressant available by prescription only and used for a short period of time for weight reduction in adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more or 27 or more with a weight-related condition such as controlled high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. BMI measures the amount of fat in the body based on height and weight and is measured in kg/m2. Lomaira should be used together with increased physical activity and a reduced-calorie diet. Please see full prescribing information for Lomaira at . "According to the WHO, Mexico has the 2nd highest prevalence of Overweight and Obesity worldwide. At Medix, we continue to innovate with solutions to treat the burden of the disease, and its negative impact on the quality of life of people living with Obesity. Our extensive portfolio continues to innovate with options like Lomaira, to support our vision." Statement by Gerardo de Eguiluz, Sr Dir Business Development Medix "We're thrilled for Medix to launch Lomaira in Mexico and help tackle the unmet needs in the global obesity epidemic," said Kiran Vepuri, Vice President of Business Development at KVK. "Obesity is not just an American problem and we aspire to help patients worldwide." Lomaira is a low dose of the #1 prescribed medication for weight loss in the US with over 60 years of real-world experience (phentermine HCl). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Don't take Lomaira™ if you have a history of cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, stroke, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure or uncontrolled high blood pressure); are taking or have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor drug (MAOI) within the past 14 days; have overactive thyroid, glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyes), agitation or a history of drug abuse; are pregnant, nursing, or allergic to the sympathomimetic amines such as phentermine or any of the ingredients in Lomaira. Taking phentermine with other drugs for weight loss is not recommended. Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), a rare fatal lung disease, has been reported in patients who had taken a combination of phentermine and fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine for weight loss. The possible association between phentermine use alone and PPH cannot be ruled out. Patients should report immediately if they experience any decrease in the amount of exercise that they can normally tolerate, shortness of breath, chest or heart pain, fainting or swelling in the lower legs. Serious heart valve problems or disease have been reported in patients taking a combination of phentermine and fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine for weight loss. The possible role of phentermine has not been established, therefore the possibility of an association between heart valve disease and the use of phentermine alone cannot be ruled out. If your body becomes adjusted to the maximum dose of phentermine so that its effects are experienced less strongly, the maximum dose should not be exceeded in an attempt to increase the effect. Caution is advised while engaging in potentially hazardous activity such as driving or operating machinery while taking phentermine. Phentermine has the potential to be abused. Keep Lomaira in a safe place to prevent theft, accidental overdose, misuse or abuse. Using alcohol with phentermine may result in an adverse drug reaction. Phentermine can cause an increase in blood pressure. Tell your doctor if you have high blood pressure, even if it's mild. If you are taking medicines for type 2 diabetes, your doctor may have to adjust these medicines while taking phentermine. Some side effects of phentermine that have been reported include pulmonary hypertension, valvular heart disease, palpitations, increased heart rate or blood pressure, insomnia, restlessness, dry mouth, diarrhea, constipation and changes in sexual drive. These are not all of the potential side effects of phentermine. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
