GENFIT Presents Phase 1 Clinical Data Evaluating NTZ at Digestive Disease Week® as part of its ACLF Program

临床2期临床结果临床1期
GENFIT (Nasdaq and Euronext: GNFT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with rare and severe liver diseases, today announced that it is presenting Phase 1 clinical data evaluating NTZ as part of its Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) Program at Digestive Disease Week®, taking place from May 6-9, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois (USA).
The Phase 1, open-label clinical study was conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of nitazoxanide (NTZ) in subjects with hepatic impairment (HI), as part of GENFIT’s NTZ in ACLF program.
For the study, subjects between 18 and 75 years of age with HI received repeated oral dose administration of NTZ 500 mg twice a day for 7 days.
NTZ was generally well tolerated, with a favorable safety profile, in subjects with moderate and severe HI.
Preliminary data from a similar Phase 1 study conducted in subjects with renal impairment also support a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Taken together, safety and pharmacokinetic results, as well as exploratory pharmacodynamic data, support further clinical development of NTZ in patients with ACLF.
A Phase 2a proof of concept study with NTZ in patients with ACLF grades 1 and 2 is currently under discussion with the FDA.
Dr. Carol Addy, CMO at GENFIT commented:
“We are pleased with the encouraging data and outcome of this Phase 1 study as it supports the potential of NTZ in ACLF and the rationale for further exploration of this drug in this indication. ACLF is an underserved medical condition given its high short-term mortality and that no drugs are currently approved for this indication. We hope that the Phase 2 study, expected to be launched in the second half of 2023, will replicate these encouraging results and support the potential for NTZ as a novel therapeutic option for patients with ACLF.”
