Chiesi Global Rare Diseases Showcases Ongoing Commitment to Multiple Rare Diseases Communities at ENDO 2024 Meeting Debut
BOSTON, June 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chiesi Global Rare Diseases, a business unit of the Chiesi Group established to deliver innovative therapies and solutions for people living with rare diseases, announced updates from their rare endocrine disease portfolio with two late-breaking poster presentations and one oral presentation during the Endocrine Society’s ENDO 2024 Meeting that was held June 1-4, 2024, in Boston, Massachusetts. Presentations included a post hoc analysis of three Phase 3 clinical trials (CH-ACM-01, OPTIMAL, MPOWERED) studying MYCAPSSA (octreotide) as well as real-world MYCAPSSA use data from the Chiesi Management of Acromegaly (MACRO) registry and presentation of the Lipodystrophy Severity Scoring tool designed to assess the disease burden of lipodystrophy.
- "We're thrilled to support this community of people living with burdensome rare endocrine diseases through the innovation of new resources and validated medicines to aid in disease management," said Giacomo Chiesi, Head of Chiesi Global Rare Diseases.
- Median decrease of one symptom per patient and a mean decrease of 0.8 in Acromegaly Index of Severity (AIS) further underscored symptom improvement.
- The mean time on OOC was 19.7 months, with the majority receiving treatment for at least 6 months.
- Patients taking proton pump inhibitors, H2-receptor antagonists, or antacids concomitantly with MYCAPSSA may require increased dosages of MYCAPSSA.
