Tuesday, March 28, 2023

The first poster presented full results from the cohort of the first 100 patients completing six months/endpoint of treatment with evenamide in study 014/015.

Key Points: 
  • The first poster presented full results from the cohort of the first 100 patients completing six months/endpoint of treatment with evenamide in study 014/015.
  • Study 014/015 is an international, randomized, open label, rater-blinded study of evenamide as an add-on to an antipsychotic (excluding clozapine) in patients with moderate to severe treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) not responding to their current antipsychotic medication.
  • 97% of patients completed six weeks of treatment, and more than 90% of the completers chose to continue with evenamide treatment into the long-term extension study (study 015).
  • The second poster detailed the characterization of “Responder” in TRS patients based on data from this study.

By using calcium imaging technology to monitor neural activity from a cluster of neurons near the base of the skull, scientists hope to discover new clues about how the body communicates with the brain.

Key Points: 
  • By using calcium imaging technology to monitor neural activity from a cluster of neurons near the base of the skull, scientists hope to discover new clues about how the body communicates with the brain.
  • The researchers used imaging of the intact jugular-nodose ganglion – which contains the sensory neurons of the vagus nerve – to directly record neural activity in mice with genetically-encoded calcium indicators.
  • In this new study, Feinstein Institutes’ bioelectronic medicine researchers look at how sensory neurons encode and transmit these important physiological signals in the form of neural activity.
  • At the Feinstein Institutes, medical researchers use modern technology to develop new device-based therapies to treat disease and injury.

While the primary objective of the study was safety and tolerability of the drug, efficacy over baseline was also assessed.

Key Points: 
  • While the primary objective of the study was safety and tolerability of the drug, efficacy over baseline was also assessed.
  • Interim results from the first 100 patients at six weeks were previously reported in June 2022.
  • Notably, of the 161 patients who were randomized, 153 (95%) completed the six-week treatment period and 144 (94% of the completers) entered the extension study (Study 015).
  • Overall, the results from the complete study population are fully consistent with the findings from the first 100 patients at this timepoint.

    Patients with infantile Krabbe disease have mutations in the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC), which is essential for normal metabolism of myelin components.
  • This results in progressive motor disease and often early death of patients by two years of age.
  • Notably, some of the patients were identified by newborn screening, which enabled early disease intervention,” stated Dr. Escolar.
