- Vasomune Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of diseases associated with vascular dysfunction, announced today that their lead drug candidate AV-001 has received a positive recommendation from the Independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (IDSMB) of the AV001-004 Phase 2a Study.
- “We are pleased to announce that the Independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board recommended the continuation of the Phase 2a trial (NCT05123755) evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AV-001 in patients suffering with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS),” said Dr. Brian E. Jahns, President and Chief Operating Officer.
- “We believe outcomes for patients with ARDS can be significantly improved through restoration of Tie2 signaling to promote endothelial stability, enhance barrier defense and block vascular leak.
- The Phase 2a trial, AV001-004, is a hallmark of our focused and collaborative efforts with our investigators, which has been catalyzed by two prestigious US Department of Defence grants.”
Ei Yamada, President & CEO of AnGes, said that “Data gained in this important clinical study will inform the treatment of ARDS, and the clinical development of AV-001 is expected to accelerate with this milestone.”
