Different manipulations for resolving the overlapped spectra of novel anti-asthmatic combination: Green-blue-white triple evaluation tools

Article

Author: Khalil, Hawa ; Bahgat, Eman A ; Reda, Alaa ; Fawzy, Michael Gamal

This work represents different spectrophotometric techniques for concurrent quantification of Indacaterol (IND) and Mometasone furoate (MOM); co-formulated inhalation capsules to control asthma symptoms. Direct spectrophotometric (D⁰) approach was applied for IND assay. While, absorption factor (AF), ratio difference (RD), mean centering of the ratio spectra (MC), and continuous wavelet transform (CW) techniques were utilized for MOM quantification. The applied methods' validation was accomplished relative to the ICH guidelines. Within the linearity range of (4-20 μg/mL), these approaches provided accurate and precise assessment of IND and MOM in laboratory-synthetic mixtures and pharmaceutical formulation with determination coefficients higher than 0.9997. Moreover, the proposed methods demonstrated good detection and quantification levels. The respective LOD and LOQ for IND were (0.33 μg/mL) and (1.01 μg/mL). While, the LOD and LOQ for MOM were ranging from (0.16-0.30 μg/mL) and (0.47-0.91 μg/mL), respectively. Statistical comparison revealed no significant differences between the findings derived from the proposed methods and the reported one. The applied methods' environmental effect was cheeked using Analytical Greenness Calculator (AGREE), Blue Applicability Grade Index (BAGI), and Red-Green-Blue 12 (RGB12). All the utilized metrics showed reliable scores, approving that the proposed methods were adhered to the sustainability principles.

Relative Impact of Monotherapies for Vitiligo: A Network Meta‐Analysis Study

Review

Author: Bamimore, Mary A. ; Piguet, Vincent ; Talukder, Mesbah ; Seneschal, Julien ; Gupta, Aditya K.

ABSTRACT:

Background:

Vitiligo, a stigmatizing condition characterized by patchy depigmented skin, has an estimated global prevalence of 0.36%. This condition is a risk factor for anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation. Hitherto, no network meta‐analysis has investigated the relative effect of vitiligo on relevant monotherapies.

Aim:

The current study determined the relative effect of monotherapies for vitiligo through network meta‐analyses (NMAs).

Methods:

The peer‐reviewed literature was systematically searched through PubMed and Scopus; studies that were eligible for quantitative analyses were those that were published in English and had an arm that investigated the effect of a monotherapy on vitiligo at 6 months. Studies of the randomized and observational designs were included.

Results:

The retrieved data were sufficient to analyze networks for phototherapy, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKIs), calcineurin inhibitors, cyclosporine, corticosteroids, azathioprine, and minocycline. Modalities' effects, in each of the networks, were ranked with the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) metric; league tables were produced to depict agents' pairwise relative effects. Our secondary outcome was discontinuation due to any adverse event (AE) at 6 months.

Conclusions:

No significant differences are observed among JAK inhibitors; however, upadacitinib, cyclosporine, ritlecitinib, and dexamethasone are significantly more effective than minocycline. Psoralen (oral) + ultraviolet A (PUVA) and narrow band ultraviolet B (NB‐UVB) regimens show similar efficacy for repigmentation. Ruxolitinib 1.5% cream (once or twice daily), ruxolitinib 0.5% cream once daily, and ruxolitinib 0.15% cream once daily for 6 months do not differ significantly in efficacy. Mometasone furoate and tacrolimus 0.1% ointment are more effective than tacrolimus 0.03%.

Chromatographic retention assisted in-silico prediction of anticancer potential of glucocorticoids on cancer cell lines

Article

Author: Elkady, Ehab F ; Farouk, Faten ; Sharaky, Marwa ; Sayed, Rawda M

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are hallmarks of anti-inflammatory activity. They are used as adjuvant therapy in oncology medications to alleviate some of the associated side effects. Although recent research has indicated that GCs have favorable anticancer potential, some scientific evidence suggests a pro-proliferation impact of GCs on cancer cells. This may create a scientific confusion on the utility of GCs and the choice of which GC enhances the anticancer potential and mitigates the negative effect. Accurate in-silico prediction and correct ranking of biological activity may be limited by the impact of the physicochemical interaction between small molecules and biological membranes. Chromatographic retention is inherently dependent on the physicochemical properties of the test molecule. It can scale the relative hydrophobicity and tentatively indicate the membrane permeability. In this study, the relationship between the in-silico binding affinity, the chromatographic retention and the in-vitro anticancer activity was investigated. Fifteen GCs were chromatographically separated on an Inertsil® C18 (4.6 * 250 mm; 5 μm) HPLC column. The binding affinity of the test GCs was determined on three receptors involved in cancer cell proliferation (topoisomerase II (TOPII), glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and ATP-binding cassette (ABCG2)). The antiproliferative potential of the test steroids was determined as per their IC₅₀. The correlation between chromatographic retention and the binding affinity to the observed IC₅₀ was investigated by multiple linear regression (MLR). Results revealed that some GCs exhibited a remarkably favorable inhibitory potential against cancer cell lines over normal cell lines. Our data indicated a significant correlation between the retention times of different GCs and the determined binding affinity, especially to the GR (r² = 0.677; p = 0.011) and the estrone sulphate (ESS) binding site of the ABCG2 (r² = 0.643; p = 0.018). Concurrently, the retention times were well correlated to the observed IC₅₀ on the colorectal cancer cell lines (r² = 0.580; p = 0.038) and the hypopharyngeal cell lines (r² = 0.638; p = 0.019). Significant MLR models (n = 4) correlating the retention times of the tested steroids and the binding affinity to the observed IC₅₀ were created. The MLR model correlating the retention times and the ABCG2_ESS binding affinity to the IC₅₀ on lung cancer was the most significant (p = 0.004). The accuracy of the model was 107.12 ± 29.18 % indicating good IC₅₀ prediction abilities. In conclusion, chromatographic retention can be employed as a low-cost and simple auxiliary tool for improving the in-silico prediction of the in-vitro activities of small molecules.

Lyra Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Company continues to focus on upcoming results from ENLIGHTEN 2 pivotal Phase 3 trial in CRS patients, expected in 2Q 2025 In parallel, the Company continues to analyze data and explore opportunities for LYR-210 in CRS patient cohort with nasal polyps WATERTOWN, Mass., March 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LYRA) (“Lyra” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing long-acting, anti-inflammatory sinonasal implants for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 and provided a corporate update. “We eagerly await the upcoming readout from the ENLIGHTEN 2 Phase 3 study in Q2 2025 which we expect will provide us with important data and enable us to gain further insight about the potential efficacy of LYR-210 across a broad CRS population, including both patients with and without nasal polyps. The data from this pivotal study will enable us to determine the path for LYR-210 to potentially add value for patients, investors and our business,” said Maria Palasis, Ph.D., President and CEO of Lyra Therapeutics. Dr. Palasis continued, “At the same time, we continue to be encouraged about the positive post-hoc data analyses in the CRS patient cohort with nasal polyps, including the recent results from the 52-week ENLIGHTEN 1 Extension Study in the polyp cohort which are consistent with the previously-reported positive results from the polyp cohort of the ENLIGHTEN 1 main study stage. We are building more evidence in the therapeutic potential of LYR-210 in CRS patients with polyps, and we have also engaged with the FDA to align on details for a registration path in CRS with polyps.” The ENLIGHTEN program consists of two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials, ENLIGHTEN 1 and ENLIGHTEN 2, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LYR-210 for the treatment of CRS. Each ENLIGHTEN trial enrolled approximately 180 CRS patients who have failed medical management and have not had prior ethmoid sinus surgery, randomized 2:1 to either LYR-210 (7500µg mometasone furoate) or sham control for 24 weeks. Topline results for patients in the polyp cohort in ENLIGHTEN 1 52-week extension study In early January 2025, in addition to safety data for the entire patient pool, post-hoc results were disclosed for patients in the polyp cohort of the ENLIGHTEN 1 52-week extension study: Polyp patients from the initial sham treatment group who crossed over to receive LYR-210 treatment exhibited a mean improvement in both symptoms and polyp size at 52 weeks. Polyp patients from the initial LYR-210 treatment group who crossed over to receive sham treatment demonstrated a durable response to LYR-210 treatment out to one year. These new data from the polyp cohort in ENLIGHTEN 1 Extension Study are consistent with the previously-reported positive data from the polyp cohort in ENLIGHTEN 1 which showed: Improvement in patient symptoms for LYR-210 treated patients relative to the sham control group was observed. Nasal Congestion Scores improved in polyp patients with at least moderate nasal congestion at baseline. Polyp size was reduced despite inclusion of patients with only small polyps. LYR-210 regulatory highlights In December 2024, Lyra received written responses from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to topics outlined in a briefing document supporting a Type C meeting to discuss the development of LYR-210 for patients who have chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Overall, the responses helped to clarify the potential path forward for LYR-210 for patients with CRSwNP, and signaled, importantly, the safety dataset of the proposed pivotal study should be sufficient, along with data from the ENLIGHTEN program and the LANTERN Phase 2 study, subject to no further safety concerns being observed in current studies with LYR-210. Based on this exchange with FDA, there is alignment on various elements of a potential Phase 3 pivotal study, e.g., choice of co-primary endpoints, sample size, inclusion criteria, and in-study assessments. Milestones for ongoing ENLIGHTEN pivotal program of LYR-210 in CRS Topline results from the ENLIGHTEN 2 pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of LYR-210 are expected in Q2 2025. We expect an additional ~30 polyp patients in the ENLIGHTEN 2 trial, which combined with the 35 polyp patients in the ENLIGHTEN 1 trial, would result in a total of ~65 polyp patients in the ENLIGHTEN program. Planned Reverse Stock Split Lyra intends to implement a reverse stock split in order to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common shares for the purpose of complying with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The reverse stock split requires approval by the Company’s board of directors as well as the Company’s stockholders at the annual stockholder meeting to be scheduled in Q2 2025, at which time the Company will be in a position to share the details of the proposed reverse stock split. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 were $40.6 million, compared with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $51.6 million at September 30, 2024. Based on our current business plan, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and any applicable short-term investment balance is sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures into the first quarter of 2026. Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 were $6.4 million and $43.8 million, respectively, compared to $12.2 million and $48.0 million for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in research and development expenses year over year was primarily attributable to a decrease in clinical related costs of $5.5 million as we completed both the BEACON trial for LYR-220 and the ENLIGHTEN 1 trial for LYR-210, a decrease of $3.5 million in employee related costs primarily driven by the reduction in force which occurred in May 2024 and a decrease in product development and manufacturing costs of $1.0 million. This decrease in costs was partially offset by increases in allocated and support costs and depreciation of $4.7 million, an increase in professional and consulting costs of $0.4 million and a $0.6 million gain recorded in 2023 related to our legal settlement with a former contract manufacturer. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.6 million and $18.5 million, respectively, compared to $4.4 million and $19.1 million for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses year over year was primarily driven by a decrease in professional, consulting and public company fees of $0.7 million as we scaled back activities subsequent to announcing in May 2024 that the ENLIGHTEN 1 trial did not meet its primary endpoint, in addition to a decrease in employee related costs of $0.8 million primarily due to the reduction in force which occurred in May 2024 and $0.4 million incurred in 2023 related to our financing efforts. This decrease in costs was partially offset by a net increase in allocation, support, depreciation and financing costs of $1.3 million primarily due to the increased rent and facilities expenses for the Company’s three leased facilities for the full year 2024 compared to the full year 2023. Net loss for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 was $11.0 million and $93.4 million, respectively, compared to $15.1 million and $62.7 million for the same periods in 2023.

Glenmark issues another recall, this time for nearly 1.5M bottles of generic ADHD drug

Glenmark Pharma is recalling nearly 1.5 million bottles of the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder drug atomoxetin. Glenmark Pharma, an India-based drug manufacturer that has been the focal point of a spate of recalls in recent years, has issued another. This time, the product pull covers about 1.48 million bottles of the generic attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drug atomoxetine.Eli Lilly previously sold the branded version of the drug, Strattera, but discontinued all strengths in 2023 after the arrival of generics.Unlike stimulant-based drugs that make up the bulk of ADHD treatment, including those like Vyvanse and Adderall, atomoxetine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (sNRI).The recall was triggered by the presence of unacceptable levels of N-nitroso atomoxetine, a possible carcinogen, in multiple Glenmark atomoxetine batches, according to the FDA. The voluntary pull, which began Jan. 29, covers bottles of the drug in strengths ranging from 10 mg to 100 mg, the FDA said on its Enforcement Report webpage. The ADHD drugs were manufactured in Glenmark’s facility in Goa, India, and were distributed nationwide. Glenmark has weathered a string of recalls in recent years due to both manufacturing and labelling issues.In June 2024, the company recalled 114 batches of 750 mg potassium chloride extended-release capsules—or roughly 47 million capsules—over concerns that they failed to dissolve properly.In December, the company recalled 90,528 bottles of the high blood pressure drug diltiazem hydrochloride in tablet and extended-release forms due to unacceptable levels of another N-nitroso compound, N-nitroso-Desmethyl-Diltiazem.In separate actions in 2023, Glemark recalled 1,200 bottles of trandolapril and verapamil hydrochloride extended-release tablets used to treat high blood pressure; 37,200 bottles of Indomethacin, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory used to treat pain and arthritis symptoms; and five lots (no bottle count provided) of Naproxen that is used to reduce fever or relieve mild pain.The previous year it recalled 98,307 packs of mometasone furoate topical solution, a corticosteroid lotion that treats skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, allergies and rash.

EsoCap announces publication of comprehensive Phase II results demonstrating ESO-101’s effectiveness in eosinophilic esophagitis

Detailed results of the ACESO Phase II study published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Alimentary Pharmacology & TherapeuticsESO-101 leverages EsoCap’s unique drug delivery technology to achieve localized treatment of the esophageal lining with the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid mometasone furoate BASEL, Switzerland, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EsoCap AG, the Swiss biotech company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with serious diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract, announced today that the complete results of the ACESO Phase II study evaluating ESO-101 for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis have been published in Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics1. The data demonstrate that ESO-101 was safe and well tolerated and improved both histologic and endoscopic outcomes in adults with active eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). EoE is a chronic, local, immune-mediated esophageal disease characterized clinically by symptoms associated with esophageal dysfunction, including dysphagia (i.e., swallowing difficulties), food impaction, heartburn and vomiting, and histologically by eosinophil-dominated inflammation. The ACESO study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ESO-101 in adult patients with active EoE. ESO-101, EsoCap's lead product candidate, consists of a capsule with a rolled-up, thin mucoadhesive film with the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid mometasone furoate. The study was conducted at 14 medical centers in five European countries and enrolled 43 participants with EoE and a peak eosinophil count of ≥15 eosinophils per high-power field (hpf). Patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio and treated with ESO-101 or placebo once daily for 28 days. The ACESO trial met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant reduction of the peak eosinophil count from baseline in histology samples. In the ESO-101 group, the mean reduction was 49.1 ± 88.4 eosinophils/hpf (p=0.0318). In addition, while none of the patients from the placebo group achieved histological remission, 48% and 44% of patients achieved <15 and <6 eosinophils/hpf, respectively, when treated with ESO-101 (p=0.0028 and p=0.0035, respectively). Patients treated with ESO-101 had a significant response in the eosinophilic esophagitis endoscopic reference score (EREFS) scores, indicating promising potential for remodeling effects despite the short treatment duration. A significant improvement of dysphagia symptoms was observed after a 4-week period with a high placebo response: a benefit of ESO-101 in relieving EoE dysphagia and odynophagia symptoms is expected to be seen in future clinical trials with a longer treatment period. Importantly, ESO-101 also demonstrated a highly favorable safety and tolerability profile with a notable absence of oral and oropharyngeal as well as esophageal candidiasis, which is commonly observed with topical corticosteroid treatment. Compliance was high, with 100% in the ESO-101 and 93% in the placebo groups. The high level of patient satisfaction with the handling of the study medication underlines the user-friendliness of the ESO-101 drug-delivery system. “The detailed results of the ACESO trial provide robust evidence for the efficacy and safety of ESO-101, a novel drug delivery device for the long-lasting, targeted delivery of the anti-inflammatory corticosteroid mometasone furoate directly to the esophageal mucosa,” said Dr. Alfredo J. Lucendo, Department of Gastroenterology, Hospital General de Tomelloso, Spain, and coordinating principal investigator of the ACESO trial. “The trial’s rigorous design demonstrated significant improvements in inflammatory, histological, and endoscopic parameters compared to placebo, which underscores the potential of this treatment approach. For patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, this approach offers the potential for more effective disease management in a field where treatment options are scarce.” “At EsoCap, we are committed to transforming the lives of patients affected by esophageal diseases. The positive outcome of the ACESO Phase II study with ESO-101 and the publication in a peer-reviewed journal are an important validation of our targeted, topical delivery platform, which has been designed to increase mucosal contact time and drug deposition in the esophagus,” said Isabelle Racamier, CEO of EsoCap. “This marks an important milestone for EsoCap in advancing treatment options for eosinophilic esophagitis.” About eosinophilic esophagitis Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an increasingly recognized, chronic, local immune-mediated esophageal disease, characterized clinically by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction and histologically by eosinophil-predominant inflammation. The symptoms of EoE include swallowing disorders, food impaction, vomiting, and heartburn. EoE is the leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in children and young adults. The only treatment options for the condition are extremely strict diets, off-label treatment with steroids or proton pump inhibitors, an orodispersible budesonide tablet available only in limited territories, or an oral suspension of budesonide approved exclusively in the USA for a short treatment duration. These treatment options remain suboptimal for the vast majority of affected patients. A monoclonal antibody targeting Th2 cell-released cytokines such as interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) was approved to treat EoE globally for steroid resistant patients. Currently, about 500,000 patients worldwide suffer from this disease. The prevalence of EoE is over 6 in 10,000. The current incidence is estimated to exceed 5 cases per 100,000. The incidence of EoE increases with age and peaks at 30-50 years of age. About the ACESO Phase II trial The ACESO trial was a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of ESO-101 in adult patients with active EoE. Patients were treated once daily for 28 days. The trial’s primary objective was to evaluate efficacy based on histological response. Secondary objectives included efficacy based on 1) histological response and clinical symptoms, 2) clinical response assessed by patient-reported outcomes, and 3) endoscopic response; patient-reported treatment satisfaction; as well as evaluation of tolerability and safety. About ESO-101 The EsoCap system is a unique drug delivery system for the upper gastrointestinal tract, consisting of a capsule holder containing a hard gelatin capsule, with a rolled, thin mucoadhesive film, a sinker, and a soluble retainer. The capsule holder is screwed onto the lid of a drinking cup to facilitate swallowing while drinking from the cup. Upon swallowing, the film unrolls and sticks to the esophageal mucosa, where it dissolves, with a contact time of 15 minutes2,3, significantly longer than the mucosal contact time of pharmaceutical dosage forms, such as orodispersible tablets (less than one minute)4. The use of mometasone furoate as a swallowed aerosol formulation has been studied previously in several trials assessing its effect on EoE in adults. In these trials, mometasone furoate was shown to significantly decrease esophageal eosinophilic inflammation and improve clinical symptoms. ESO-101 was designed as a locoregional, esophagus-adjusted drug formulation and novel delivery system to optimize mucosal contact time and maximize esophageal deposition of mometasone furoate. ESO-101 has the potential to provide significant clinical benefits to EoE patients. About EsoCap EsoCap AG is a privately funded company based in Basel, Switzerland. EsoCap’s vision is to improve the lives of patients with serious diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract through development of a unique and innovative topical drug delivery platform. Effective topical treatment of the esophagus is extremely difficult to achieve with the current standard of care, due to the ultra-short drug contact time of 45 seconds from the mouth to the stomach. Lead candidate ESO-101 has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of EoE and is in clinical development for this indication. EsoCap has developed a unique, proprietary drug delivery platform enabling the efficient topical application of drug substances for the local treatment of diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract. EsoCap has a strong and broad intellectual property position. For more information, please visit www.esocapbiotech.com and follow EsoCap on LinkedIn.
