Final Patient Completes Treatment in Innovation Pharmaceuticals Phase 2b Study of Oral Prurisol for Psoriasis


BEVERLY, Mass., Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc., (IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, today announces that the last patient has completed study treatment in the Company’s Phase 2b trial of Prurisol for the treatment of psoriasis. Prurisol is being developed as a novel, nonbiologic, oral psoriasis drug candidate.


A total of 199 patients were enrolled in the clinical trial (see NCT02949388), which includes: a screening period of up to 4 weeks; a treatment period of 12 weeks; and a follow-up visit at 4 weeks, post-treatment. The randomized, double-blind, parallel-group and placebo-controlled study increased the total daily oral dosing of Prurisol from a previous high of 200 mg to include oral Prurisol 300 mg per day, oral Prurisol 400 mg per day, and placebo (3:1:3 randomization).

Primary efficacy is being evaluated using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), enabling a more direct comparison to already approved psoriasis drugs. In addition, multiple secondary endpoints will be studied to provide further insights into the potential benefits of Prurisol compared to marketed therapies, both oral and biologic.

In a previous Phase 2 trial studying Prurisol in mild-to-moderate psoriasis (see NCT02494479), Prurisol demonstrated early efficacy and was shown to be well-tolerated. A summary of these Phase 2 study results, presented at the 14th Annual Discovery on Target Conference, which was held on September 19, 2016, can be accessed at the link below.
•“Prurisol: A New Small Molecule Under Investigation for the Treatment of Psoriasis”
http://www.ipharminc.com/s/Prurisol-Presentation-for-Med-Derm-RD-Workshop_19Sep2 016-u.pdf

“With all patients having received treatment, we look forward to wrapping up the Phase 2b Prurisol trial,” commented Arthur P. Bertolino, MD, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Medical Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “Only a handful of patient follow-up visits remain to be completed. A novel psoriasis drug, particularly one that is oral, safe and effective, would be well-received by clinical practitioners and patients alike, both looking for newer treatment options to help manage this debilitating skin disease.”

About Psoriasis
Affecting an estimated 125 million people worldwide, psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disorder presenting with varying symptoms and levels of severity. The condition is characterized by raised and inflamed skin, often on the elbows, knees, scalp, hands and feet, causing itching, irritation, stinging and pain. Often feeling socially stigmatized, over 80 percent of people with psoriasis report it negatively impacts the quality of their everyday life. Cases are graded as Mild, Moderate and Severe depending upon extent of body surface area involved as well as other parameters. Up to 30 percent of psoriasis patients will eventually develop psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Psoriasis also is associated with numerous comorbidities. Despite recent advances, there remains a need for orally-delivered psoriasis drugs and other treatment alternatives to biologics, which can be accompanied by side effects that significantly impact activities of daily living, and may lose their effectiveness over time.

About Prurisol
Acting through immune modulation and PRINS reduction, Prurisol is a novel dermatology compound currently in mid-stage development as an oral psoriasis treatment utilizing the advantages of the FDA's 505(b)(2) development approach. This regulatory approach helps expedite a drug candidate’s approval as it allows the FDA to rely, in part, on existing clinical data from an already approved drug, in this instance, Ziagen. In laboratory studies, Prurisol was found to be effective against psoriasis in animal models, both in induced psoriasis and in a xenograft model using human psoriatic tissue. In these models, Prurisol eliminated virtually all signs of psoriasis. Innovation Pharmaceuticals has successfully completed a Phase 2 clinical trial of Prurisol in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic plaque psoriasis. Overall analyses showed that the drug candidate appears to be safe, well-tolerated and efficacious in the highest dosing arm across 12 weeks of treatment. Patients with moderate psoriasis saw the greatest clinical improvements. An early dose-dependent response that improved as treatment duration increased was observed. Innovation Pharmaceuticals has initiated a Phase 2b clinical trial of Prurisol in moderate-to-severe psoriasis and will be assessing the drug candidate’s efficacy at higher dosing regimens.

About 505(b)(2) Development Approach
Under the FDA’s 505(b)(2) development approach, a drug candidate’s road to market approval can be significantly shortened and conducted at a much-reduced cost. Long-term safety data from a reference drug may be relied upon for approval, and potentially only one pivotal Phase 3 study, enrolling a smaller number of patients than is typical, may be required to establish drug efficacy.

About the Company
Headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc. (IPI), formerly Cellceutix Corporation, is publicly-traded under the company symbol “IPIX”. The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies in multiple diseases. The Company believes it has a world-class portfolio of first-in-class lead drug candidates and is now advancing them toward market approval, while actively seeking strategic partnerships. The Company’s Psoriasis drug candidate Prurisol completed a Phase 2 trial and a Phase 2b study is ongoing. Prurisol is a small molecule that acts through immune modulation and PRINS reduction. The Company’s anti-cancer drug Kevetrin successfully concluded a Phase 1 clinical trial at Harvard Cancer Centers’ Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the Company has commenced a Phase 2 study in Ovarian Cancer. In the laboratory, Kevetrin has been shown to modulate p53, often referred to as the “Guardian Angel Gene” due to its crucial role in controlling cell mutations. Brilacidin, a defensin mimetic compound, has shown in an animal model to reduce the occurrence of severe ulcerative Oral Mucositis (OM) by more than 94% compared to placebo. The Company recently completed a Phase 2 clinical trial with its novel compound Brilacidin-OM for the prevention of OM in patients with Head and Neck Cancer and data are being analyzed; interim results have shown a marked reduction in the incidence of severe OM (WHO Grade ≥ 3). The Company’s lead antibiotic, Brilacidin, has completed a Phase 2b trial for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection, or ABSSSI. Top-line data have shown a single dose of Brilacidin to deliver comparable clinical outcomes to the FDA-approved seven-day dosing regimen of daptomycin. Brilacidin has the potential to be a single-dose therapy for certain multi-drug resistant bacteria (“superbugs”). Topline results are now available for the Phase 2, open label Proof-of-Concept trial, treating patients with Brilacidin for Ulcerative Proctitis/Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis (UP/UPS), two types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The Company has formed research collaborations with world-renowned research institutions in the United States and Europe, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the University of Bologna. More information is available on the Company website at www.IPharmInc.com.

Innovation Pharmaceuticals Reports Positive Topline Results from Phase 2 Placebo-Controlled Trial of Brilacidin for the Prevention of Oral Mucositis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients


Brilacidin


Company Targets a Therapeutic Leadership Position in Global OM Market

BEVERLY, MA – December 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Innovation Pharmaceuticals, (OTCQB:IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, today presented successful topline results from the Company's randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 clinical trial of Brilacidin (see NCT02324335) for the prevention and control of Oral Mucositis (OM) in patients receiving chemoradiation for treatment of Head and Neck Cancer. Brilacidin-OM is being developed under an FDA Fast Track designation for this indication.

Summary of Topline Results from the Placebo-Controlled Phase 2 Trial

· Brilacidin met primary endpoint of reduced incidence of severe OM experienced by patients during radiation therapy.
· Incidence of severe OM in Modified Intent to Treat (mITT) Population: Brilacidin 42.9%, Placebo 60.0%.
· Incidence of severe OM in Per Protocol (PP) Population: Brilacidin 36.8%, Placebo 60.0%.
· Trial results support continued and expedited development of Brilacidin-OM.

Clinical Trial Background

In this trial, Head and Neck Cancer patients self-administered Brilacidin (45 mg/15 ml oral rinse—“swish and spit”) or placebo three times daily across 7 consecutive weeks (49 days). Of the 61 patients randomized, 46 patients met the cumulative radiation dose criteria of at least 55 Gy—the minimum treatment threshold for inclusion in the efficacy population—and 39 of these patients met more strict criteria for inclusion in the “per protocol” study population. The trial’s primary endpoint was established as reduced incidence of severe OM (defined as Grade ≥ 3 on the WHO Oral Mucositis scale) experienced by patients during radiation therapy.

Topline results reveal a clear reduction in the incidence of severe OM (WHO Grade ≥ 3) in patients treated with Brilacidin-OM as compared to those on placebo. Brilacidin also appeared generally safe and well-tolerated across all treated patients (the safety population).

Primary Efficacy Results: Incidence of severe OM (WHO Grade ≥ 3)

Active (Brilacidin) Control (Placebo)

Modified Intent to Treat 9 of 21 patients (42.9 %) 15 of 25 patients (60.0%)
(mITT) Population (n=46)
Per Protocol
(PP) Population (n=39) 7 of 19 patients (36.8%) 12 of 20 patients (60.0%)

Overall reduction in observed severe Oral Mucositis (WHO Grade ≥ 3) in the Brilacidin-OM treatment group from that seen in the control group ([incidence control - incidence active]/incidence control) was: 28.5% (mITT population) and 38.7% (PP population).

Safety and Tolerability Profile

Brilacidin administered as an oral rinse was generally well-tolerated by patients. Safety findings were typical for patients with Head and Neck Cancer being treated with chemoradiation, with all treated patients reporting at least one Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE). Of the TEAEs categorized as serious (SAEs), 13 patients (8 in the Brilacidin group, and 5 in the Placebo group) experienced at least one SAE. No SAEs reported led to death. None of the SAEs were classified by the Investigator as related to Brilacidin.

Management Comments

Additional study endpoint analyses are ongoing, with outputs expected in the coming weeks. These endpoints are important in building a deeper knowledge base around Brilacidin-OM, further informing other aspects of efficacy and helping to plan the next stage of clinical development.

“The completion of the Phase 2 trial of Brilacidin-OM is a major milestone for the Company, particularly given the successful topline study results. In a broader context, these mid-phase study results represent a watershed moment in the management of OM, as there has been negligible prior innovation in safely mitigating the onset of the severest stages of the disease,” commented Leo Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “We believe that we now occupy a leadership position with this drug candidate in the prevention and treatment of severe OM in Head and Neck Cancer patients. Considering the global unmet medical need in treating severe OM, we anticipate leveraging these promising data, both in securing potential partnership opportunities and establishing an early competitive market position. In combination with other promising clinical data on Brilacidin, we are building a strong case that our novel defensin-mimetic pipeline can safely address an array of diseases and conditions by showing meaningful clinical responses. We now look forward to discussing our plans with the FDA to best align and prepare for the expedient advancement of the Brilacidin-OM program.”

“Based on these data, we are confident Brilacidin-OM has potential to improve significantly the treatment paradigm for OM,” said Arthur P. Bertolino, MD, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Medical Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “To see a clear beneficial clinical response is what clinicians hope for—a viable drug candidate bettering the lives of patients in dire need of newer treatment options. Further, today’s news is added validation of the Brilacidin Franchise, now anchored in three distinct clinical indications—OM, inflammatory bowel disease and serious skin infections. Brilacidin is an extremely unique drug candidate that we look forward to continuing to explore and advance across its many therapeutic applications.”

About Brilacidin

Brilacidin is Innovation Pharmaceuticals’ lead drug candidate in its defensin mimetic franchise. Modeled after Host Defense Proteins (HDPs), the “front-line” of defense in the immune system, it is a small, non-peptidic, synthetic molecule that kills pathogens swiftly and thoroughly. Just as importantly, Brilacidin also functions in a robust immunomodulatory capacity, lessening inflammation and promoting healing. Due to its unique properties, the Company is studying Brilacidin’s effect on Oral Mucositis (under Fast Track designation) and on Ulcerative Proctitis / Proctosigmoiditis (UP/UPS) in Phase 2 trials. Additional trials of Brilacidin are planned in other conditions, including: Atopic Dermatitis, Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Acne. Brilacidin is also being developed under FDA’s Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation as an antibacterial product for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection (ABSSSI)—qualifying it for Fast Track and possible Priority FDA Review and an extra 5 years of United States market exclusivity upon drug approval.

About Brilacidin-OM

Innovation Pharmaceutical’s first-in-class immunomodulatory drug candidate, Brilacidin, targets the prevention of severe Oral Mucositis (OM)—a common and debilitating side-effect of receiving chemoradiation therapy—in Head and Neck Cancer. Each year, OM affects hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. Only a limited number of OM treatments are available, most of which are palliative in nature. A Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of Brilacidin-OM (see NCT02324335) has been recently completed in which topline results demonstrate a reduced rate of severe OM (WHO Grade >3) in patients treated with Brilacidin-OM compared to those on placebo.

About Oral Mucositis

Oral Mucositis (OM) is a frequent, painful and debilitating complication of chemoradiation. Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patients—comprising an estimated 65,000 newly diagnosed cases in the U.S. alone in 2017, and an estimated 700,000 worldwide (source: GLOBOCAN)—are at the greatest risk of developing OM (a 90 to 100 percent rate of occurrence). By 2030, the global incidence of HNC cases is expected to exceed 1 million per year. Moreover, between 25 and 60 percent of cancer patients, regardless of cancer type, also will experience OM. Characterized by inflammation and ulceration, patients suffering from OM are often unable to speak and eat (requiring the insertion of a feeding tube) and are more susceptible to infections, with severe cases leading to hospitalization at increased treatment costs of up to $25,000. There currently are no approved medications for the prevention of OM in the HNC population, with only limited palliative care options available. Worldwide, the potential market for OM is expected to exceed $1 billion in the next few years.

The relevance of $IPIX finding their place in the market is still very strong. "They" keep hitting us on financing even though the company still has plenty of funding through Aspire that has been well managed to date. I would like to see the 8-K for the Evonik manufacturing https://www.ipharminc.com/press-release/2018/4/23/innovation-pharmaceuticals-sig ns-drug-supply-contract-with-evonik-to-bulk-produce-commercial-grade-brilacidin but it's possible that will be more spelled out once a partnership is announced. And with that, comes an upfront boost in funding as well as milestones. They just may be waiting on prurisol data before inking any deals.

This has been completely retail. Not much longer imo.
And speaking of retail, just a few articles that have been done over time that still have relevance today. While re-reading them, take a look at the company's corporate overview and see how the projections have kept pace.

Just a little footnote, I'm not sure why the articles are rated as pro, if you have to pay SA to read them I urge not giving them any money. Their site isn't worth it imo. The articles written there are only as good as the reputation/credibility of the authors there and are not vetted in any way. A free for all site imo.
I flashed back to these simply because Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc has maintained their vigilance and goals progressing the pipeline in an exceptional manner with shareholders in mind. With patience I believe we'll be rewarded.

Repost - Doctor-Founder-Billionaire Talks About Biotech Investment, Stocks

Not a lot of biotechnology entrepreneurs go on to count their wealth in billions, build supercomputers or own a significant piece of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team.

But that’s been the trajectory of Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, who launched and sold two biotech startups–together worth nearly $8 billion. He now is heading up a new endeavor featuring artificial intelligence, semiconductors, cloud databases, a supercomputer, nano-optics and fiber-optic cable, all in the name of improving the country’s health-care system.

Dr. Soon-Shiong is also a heavy investor in publicly traded biotech stocks, he said.

The public markets last year welcomed dozens of new entrants from the world of biotech, but many have not been able to sustain the enthusiasm from investors. Many today are trading below their offering price, prompting some to speculate that there could be a biotech bubble.

Dr. Soon-Shiong says that is not the case, and that pressing medical needs will buoy many stocks beyond their initial ups and downs.

And while he stopped short of saying that his new company–Los Angeles-based Nantworks LLC–will definitely file to go public, he said he expects the company to become a powerful standalone player in the high-tech health system that the country is moving toward. He talked to Venture Capital Dispatch about the complex picture for new biotech issues on the public markets.

Q: What is your view of a situation where a lot of companies go public over a short time, and then have a very mixed performance? Is it something people should worry about?

A: No, absolutely not. The evolving tools of science, and their promise, have never been as exciting as right now. There are some real breakthrough drugs out now, particularly in cancer. It’s not a bubble, but people have followed each other [onto the public markets]. There’s been a pent-up demand for growth companies, and there’s capital out there. You will definitely see some of these companies stand the test of time.

As far as the ones that aren’t performing as well, sometimes it’s not the companies, it’s the market. The market is not scientifically driven. People should analyze the fundamentals, not the stock price.

Q: So how does one do that? How can people spot a healthy biotech company, putting aside its stock price?

A: There’s no way to generalize. But you ask: Is the science sound? Is there an unmet need? Has the company built a translational application that is demonstrable in trials? Can you do this at scale? Does the technology improve or impact outcomes for the patient?

If it brings value to the patient, it’s a company of value. We spend $4.3 trillion a year on health-care in the U.S. If the focus of your company is to increase value to the patient, then you will organically grow. A lot of these companies have zero revenue, so the only way to measure them, really, is to ask: Is there forward movement of this technology platform?

Q: What other advice would you give to biotech investors?

A: It’s science. It’s a 10-year horizon. Not everyone wants to invest with a 10-year horizon. There are long lead times, there are trials. If you’re impatient, as an investor, it can be bumpy. Choose wisely, because it takes a decade. It’s never a short-term thing.

When I took American Pharmaceutical Partners public in 1998, it opened at $14 a share. It dropped to $8 a share. Later on, we were so confident of the technology and the business model that we bought $30 million of the stock back. This was eight months after our IPO.

Our drug [a formulation of cancer drug Heparin] came out in 2001, and our stock hit $45 per share. It later split into two companies, and they were both acquired. In 2008, APP was the only safe supplier of Heparin in the country. That’s not a business model. That’s a company focused on benefitting the patient.

Q: So what does the future hold for these biotech stocks?

A: The strong will survive. Not strong as in financial strength, but sustainable value–value to the patient.

Nothing in this post most on this board already know but thought it would be a good generalization for newbies to get them to put IPIX on their watch list or prod them to do their own further in-depth DD.

I hope some can use this to send to friends who may want to put IPIX on a watch list. I realize this is all known to those on this board but it gives a decent description to newbies who might want to watch the stock:

IPIX is at the point where all on this board should have it on a watch list because the rise could(should) be quite dramatic if results on the Psoriasis trial results are good or if a major deal is signed. This applies to both traders and long term holders (long term in the range of a year or so). Am thinking of putting a pretty detailed current report on the Biotech board today for all to be able to share w/ friends (should anyone think they would share same with friends). Just to put in perspective why this could be an extremely dramatic move, if Prurisol is shown to be highly effective against Psoriasis it should become the leading prescribed treatment due to efficacy close to biologics, ease of administering since it is in pill form, much lower cost, and most importantly safety - next to 0 side effects. The Psoriasis market is about $12B/yr and saying they only capture $7B/yr (which I would think is conservative) that brings in a total of over $100B over the life of the patent. Thus, the stock price of IPIX should rise dramatically. Let me know if anyone wants a detailed briefing, otherwise I will pass and just let those that think IPIX is worthwhile to follow to put on their watch list. News should be out any time this month beginning now and certainly coming about before the end of the month.

I will start w/ the negatives of IPIX. First, it is in the biotech field and that is about the riskiest in investing as about 1 in 10K drugs actually make it to commerciality. The company has access to money, no problem, but they issue stock to Aspire Financial when cash needed and at current stock price that is very expensive cash. The only other negative is there is a very, very strong group of folks that have been manipulating the stock price for a couple of years and they will continue to compress the stock price at current levels until we get a major transfusion of cash in due to a deal. As a result, I feel TA is all but useless in the stock at the current time. Extremely positive Prurisol trial results will be a big help, but I believe a major deal with a major BP is the only thing that is firmly going to advance the company in terms of visibility, acceptance by financial institutions, and getting the cabals working against IPIX to finally leave for greener pastures. In all honesty, I cannot think of any more negatives to the company than those listed above. To expand on those mentioned above wanting the stock to fail, they made posts on various blogs about 2 years ago that were nothing but a pack of lies and had an ambulance-chasing law firm that preys upon young firms struggling to succeed file a class action suit against them. These suits usually result with the firm paying off the law firm to drop the suit. IPIX mgt. would have none of that and took them to court and although they were not awarded any monies as punishment, the judge did throw out all charges as pure BS. These same crews have regularly over the last couple of years disparaged both Dr. Menon and Leo's reputations and characters for minor events that were either totally fictitious or were extremely minor and blown totally out of proportion. This was done to try and keep any newcomer from investing in the company. This is indicative of the type of near criminal ploys (or ploys that most reasonable people would say even went over that line) with which mgt has had to contend for the last few years. Thank God they have had the moral fortitude to stand tall against all the slings and arrows that have been pointed at them all this time. Most lesser mgt. types would have packed it in by now.

Now for the upside of the company and though what I am abot to say sounds too good to be true, I believe that I am not exaggerating anything in terms of expectations, numbers, science, etc.

IPIX has en toto somewhere just under 200MM shares so I am using that figure for all share price projections. IPIX has about $70MM debt to insiders so there is no worry about a financial debacle that could bring the company down. The CEO, also the largest shareholder, has said NO, NO, and NO to a possible reverse split so that worry is off the table. I state emphatically that the 3 drugs that IPIX has brought to the end of Phase II trials (Phase I trial is for safety, Phase 2 is for optimum dose and frequency of taking the drug, and Phase 3 is a large population test to make sure no odd side effects prior to gaining FDA approval - Trials normally take about 10 yrs from start to finish. At the end of Phase2 for all our 3 drugs we are looking for BEST IN CLASS for all of them across many applications (each separate application in biotech is referred to as an indication) and EVERY indication is for MULTI-BILLION dollar markets. The one glaring strength of our pipeline is the SAFETY of all our drugs and that fact that we have no bad side effects with any of them for any indication. This is pretty much unheard of in biotech and that is why I am so confident that we will have successful Phase 3's and all drugs will lead to commerciality. It is also why I say that our current pipeline is the strongest pipeline EVER at one time by any startup biotech in history and possibly is the strongest pipeline for new products by any BIG PHARMA in history as our 3 drugs will be addressing markets that total over $100B/yr!! I will get to the science of our drugs in a few moments, but l want to stress that all the areas that make the science moot we also have been blessed in and that is why I believe IPIX at this time is the "Perfect Storm" for being so primed for riches. With no embarrassment, I will state as I have to my family and friends that I believe this is the GOLDEN RING that penny stock players pray for and hope to find once in their life. Our mgt consists of Dr. Krishna Menon, the genius behind formulating the drugs (he already led two projects for E.I. Lily that resulted in 2 current billion dollar cancer drugs), Dr. Bertolino who was head of dermatology for both Pfizer and Novartis and is the new addition to the team and has done wonders in guiding us thru clinical trials and putting us on a respected level when dealing w/ big pharma, and Leo Erhlich, a CPA who is the CEO and manages the company. Leo and Dr. Menon have taken their salary for years in stock rather than cash so as not to drain needed funds, they have lent the company millions, and from acquaintances who know them personally they are said to be of the highest character so in that regard we are blessed. I have already mentioned that IPIX is the rare, rare case where we are not at the mercy of major players being able to bring us into bankruptcy for their own personal gain and that can't be stressed enough. The firm now only has a handful of employees other than mgt as the lab work is done. As for the business plan, Leo has made it clear for years that deals would not be signed until Phase 2s were finished as the value of a drug really rises after P2 since the great portion of failures occur during P1 and P2. He has stated that they see IPIX becoming a franchiser and partnering out our drugs to BPs who will take over the P3 trial costs and then move the drugs into commerciality and do the distributing with IPIX getting regular royalty payments.

Another part of our "Perfect Storm" is that BP at the current time is flush with cash that they want to bring back onshore due to Trump's change to offshore cash and most BPs at the current time have pretty bare pipelines with many top selling drugs coming to the end of their patent protection. Most BPs today prefer to buy drugs in advanced stages of trials (exactly as what IPIX can provide) where the probability of success is much, much higher than taking an idea from scratch and running thru pre-clinical trials and then clinical trials. BP NEEDS NEW DRUGS NOW - IPIX HAS THE GREATEST LINEUP of drugs available - BP HAS THE BIG BUCKS TO SPEND - so it should bode extremely well for IPIX in the very near term. The above are all the incidental areas that can tear a company apart and yet which IPIX has been able to surmount and which now should be working heavily in our favor. That only leaves the science of our products and this is IPIX's greatest strength for our products to date have passed EVERY TRIAL w/ flying colors and spotless safety results.

The first of our drugs is PRURISOL and it was formulated by Dr M from an HIV drug and viewed as a great shot at being able to CURE psoriasis, not take care of the symptoms, but CURE the disease. We ran a P2a trial at dosages of 50, 100, and 200 units and it was found that the 200 dosage showed tremendous improvement in cure rate compared to the 50 and 100. Our current trial, P2b, tested patients with more severe cases of Psoriasis at dosage levels of 300 and 400. Most word I have heard is that we expect the 300 dosage to be the sweet spot and the 400 dosage was done just to make sure there wasn't more to gain from a stronger dose. We finished the actual medication in early Dec '17 and the follow up visits ended the end of Dec '17. We had about 190 patients from 34 various test sites. Upon the end of the trial, the data is all gathered by a firm that specializes in this field and they tabulate all the data and from what I have been told they will also analyze the data (which I expect is so that there can not be said there was any bias by our mgt analyzing the data) and the final primary endpoints are given to mgt. Then months later the secondary endpoints are finished with being analyzed and they are also published and this report as a whole leads to how the Phase 3 trial is to be designed in conjunction w/ FDA approval. We currently expect the primary endpoints ANY DAY now. Excellent results would be great for the company, but if they are not it would certainly be disappointing but not fatal to the company as a drug I will discuss later has already proven itself worth billions in its own right. We are hoping Prurisol does really well in Psoriasis as to curing the disease, but it has already shown in the P2a that it seemed to stop the severe itching of Psoriasis and if all Prurisol does is relieve the itching that would be a tremendous success as I have heard the itching can become so severe it has led to suicides and extremely poor quality of life for many, many thousands of patients. So as one can see, trials are not an all or nothing result. Partial success can lead to very lucrative drugs. The couple anecdotal stories I have heard regarding Prurisol in P2b is that it moistens the skin, stops the itching, and pretty much cures the disease. If this is true, we should have a nearly $10B/yr drug on our hands just for this indication but there is oh so much more just for Prurisol. It's properties (and I am no biological chemist so all what I have read) is that it should have amazing indications in the field of dermatology and even more exciting across the entire range of AUTOIMMUNE diseases (there are about 100 of them to inclue arthritis) and these would be researched by our BP partners down the line with IPIX getting royalties on all indications that prove commercial.
The second drug is Brilacidin, a small molecule defensin mimetic (synthetic defensin), that appears to be a damn wonder drug and which some have proclaimed could outdo Humira as the largest drug in history in terms of revenue. It is an antibiotic/antiinflammatory. A protein defensin is the body's first line of defense against viruses and bacterial and B is said to be 100 times as powerful as a natural defensin and 1000 times as selective. You have all heard about the medical crisis with superbugs that defy current antibiotics, well B has already solved that problem because it works in a totally new way against invaders and they cannot develop a resistance to it. In a P2 trial it went up against the best antibiotic available today, daptomyacin, and in one application showed itself as effective as a full weeks application of daptomyacin and it kills everything. Nothing is immune to it in the way of bad viruses. The P3 trial will cost at least $30 MM and involve 4,000 patients and IPIX just doesn't have the money at the current time to put that much money to that indication so it is on hold but ready to proceed immediately and the P3 should be a very short trial as results will be seen in days instead of weeks or months and patients will be found probably within a matter of days. It's most valuable properties seem to be in the antiinflammatory field where it has proven itself to be effective against what many belive will be all IBD (Irritable Bowel Diseases) conditions and solve everything in the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract and this is a BIG revenue target. It has already worked in tests for Ulcerative Colitis and Supra.... Colitis and would undoubtedly work against Crohn's Disease, it has worked against Oral Mucositis, a condition with no current treatment and is a $1-$2B/ yr target, and it has expected exceptional uses against dermatology conditions (acne, eczema, supra dermititis), eye and ear infections, and some have even said it could become like a one-a-day pill to ward off all infections. It als has the ability to be used in plastics, paints, and textiles to make all these items antimicrobial so indications would be all wound dressings, artifical parts put into the body, hernia stitches, colostomy bags, catheters, etc. In paints and plastics all surfaces in schools and hospitals would be self-ridding of viruses,etc. Brilacidin is also expected to be a monster drug for indications in dermatology in topical cream formulations for acne, eczema, and other more egregious skin indications (Did I say Dr. B was head of dermatology for both Pfizer and Novartis in the past? Nice connections.) There has been much talk that many, many other areas could be targets for Brilacidin that just haven't been recognized yet and that is also one of the major upsides to this drug.

The last drug was the original biggie for the company, Kevetrin, as it is a cancer treatment drug that could be used against about 50% of cancers (per Dr. Menon) and is expected to be such a wonderful complementary drug for all other cancer treatments that it would make all of them much more effective. The wonder of this drug is that it turns back on the p53 gene, the Guardian Angel gene, which in medicine has bee the Holy Grail to fight cancer. It affects no good cells or DNA and in the P1 safety trial which only had Stage 4 terminal patients enrolled they had to quit the trial after about 3 years and the dosage had risen from 10 units to 800 units because they couldn't induce any negative endpoints. People did not get sick because of the drug and these were patienst whose bodies were already at the point of falling apart when they entered the trial. As a complementary drug, this could work with all the big treatment drugs as many of them are getting near the end of their patent and by combining w/ Kevetrin would become patented for another near 20 yr term.

The top nine selling cancer treatment drugs sold about $90B/yr last year. Thus, I feel my call for all to at least put IPIX on your watch list is well warranted. I am not saying to buy now, you can wait until a major deal is done and take away all risk. The stock could rise a couple of dollars and you would still be in at a very attractive entry point. I hate to make projections of where the stock price could go, but I believe from what I posted above that the upside is darn near beyond belief. To make things even better, not only will stockholders make out richly but hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide should benefit from IPIX products.

Pete covers a lot of bases in his "awareness" post. Including partnership potential. Currently waiting for the un-blinding of the prurisol trial which ended in December. Seems like a long time though the protocol was pretty intense and included patient feedback analysis (questionnaires). Even the CEO didn't think it would take as long to get data and while it is possible they don't see it in the next few weeks, they are optimistic it will be out by the end of June. Personally, if you don't have the control to set a timeline, there shouldn't be one at all. Some psoriasis blinded trials have taken a year plus.
The technical side is shaping up nicely though on little volume. I took a nice little chunk at .35, my swings on this have been stretching out longer as I think the anticipation is getting more intense.

If anyone's reading this, good luck! Would be nice to see this work out. And soon!

Innovation Pharmaceuticals Announces Database Lock for Phase 2b Trial of Oral Prurisol for Psoriasis



Prurisol


BEVERLY, MA – June 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Innovation Pharmaceuticals (OTCQB:IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, today announces database lock for its Phase 2b clinical trial of oral Prurisol in moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Prurisol is being developed as a novel, nonbiologic, orally-delivered psoriasis drug candidate.

“Locking the database is a key step toward analyzing data from our randomized, placebo-controlled trial of Prurisol, one of the larger studies we’ve conducted to date,” commented Arthur P. Bertolino, MD, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Medical Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “We are excited to have reached this milestone and will now move to process trial data and report topline study results. Psoriasis is a large market for which new treatments, particularly oral medications, are highly sought after by providers and patients.”

A total of 199 patients were randomized in the clinical trial (see NCT02949388), which included: a screening period of up to 4 weeks; a treatment period of 12 weeks; and a follow-up visit after 4 weeks off-treatment. The randomized, double-blind, parallel-group and placebo-controlled study increased the total daily oral dosing of Prurisol from a previous high of 200 mg, which earlier was shown to be well-tolerated and demonstrated early efficacy, to include oral Prurisol 300 mg per day, oral Prurisol 400 mg per day, and placebo (3:1:3 randomization). Efficacy evaluation includes the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and a Physician Global Assessment.

The Company signed a non-binding term sheet in August 2018 with a global pharmaceutical company for the licensing/rights to Brilacidin for treating oral mucositis and inflammatory bowel diseases. Initial payments, milestone payments and royalties are being negotiated in accordance with the non-binding term sheet. The pharmaceutical company is now engaged in further due diligence. Management can offer no assurances that the parties will enter into a binding definitive agreement.

I'd say this is a good reason to stay on top of the filings.

The next on could actually a licensing agreement.

Todays filing...

Innovation Pharmaceuticals Announces License Agreement with Alfasigma S.p.A. for the Development and Commercialization of Brilacidin in Ulcerative Proctitis/Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis



Brilacidin, Corporate


· Over $24M in initial and milestone-based payments

BEVERLY, MA – July 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Innovation Pharmaceuticals (OTCQB:IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, is pleased to report that the Company has executed a license agreement with Alfasigma S.p.A (“Alfasigma”) to develop and commercialize locally-administered Brilacidin (e.g., foam, enema, gel), on a worldwide basis, for the treatment of Ulcerative Proctitis/Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis (UP/UPS).

The Company will receive from Alfasigma an initial payment, plus be eligible for additional payments based on certain milestones, totaling over $24 million, and receive a 6 percent royalty (net sales) based on the successful marketing of Brilacidin for UP/UPS. The agreement also includes a Right of First Refusal for Brilacidin for the treatment of more extensive forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease, and a Right of First Negotiation for Brilacidin in other Gastrointestinal indications.

“This licensing agreement with Alfasigma is a major milestone for the Company,” commented Arthur P. Bertolino, MD, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Medical Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “Alfasigma is a first-class global pharmaceutical company with proven IBD expertise, marketing products like Xifaxan for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which makes them an attractive partner to advance Brilacidin in UP/UPS. We are confident that Brilacidin for UP/UPS is in good hands, as Alfasigma works to potentially commercialize the drug. At the same time, we’re excited to be underway with our own Brilacidin oral formulation efforts to treat more extensive forms of IBD. We currently are utilizing sophisticated, controlled-release tablet technology to enable targeted delivery of oral Brilacidin in the colon, with in-human testing anticipated to start as soon as year-end. Millions of patients continue to suffer from hard-to-treat GI diseases, with recent deal-making in the pharmaceutical industry revealing significant premiums being paid for promising oral IBD drugs. As such, we are committed to advancing Brilacidin across multiple IBD indications, and also in other key franchise therapeutic areas, like our Phase 3-ready oral rinse Brilacidin program in Oral Mucositis.”

“We are thrilled to forge this partnership with Innovation Pharmaceuticals,” said Pier Vincenzo Colli, Chief Executive Officer at Alfasigma. “The Phase 2 Brilacidin clinical study results in UP/UPS look promising and reflective of Brilacidin’s unique drug properties and treatment potential. Alfasigma plans to dedicate considerable internal resources, including formulation and IP expertise, and to make a substantial investment to advance Brilacidin, with the objective to offer patients a safe and effective new treatment option in the management of UP/UPS. We will also closely follow Innovation’s progress in developing oral Brilacidin, as we remain highly interested in novel oral IBD treatments. This agreement is a further step in strengthening our pipeline.”

About Brilacidin for IBD

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a hard-to-treat, chronic, autoimmune condition that affects approximately 10 million people worldwide, including 3 million people in the U.S., with 70,000 newly diagnosed cases each year. The overall GI market sector is estimated to grow from $35.7 billion in 2015 to $48.4 billion by 2022. Brilacidin is being developed as a novel, non-corticosteroid, non-biologic treatment, with formulation plans including oral tablets for Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease, and enema, foam and/or gel for mild-to-moderate Ulcerative Proctitis/Ulcerative Proctosigmoiditis (UP/UPS), two types of IBD. As released previously, a majority of patients treated with Brilacidin administered via retention enema achieved Clinical Remission (Modified Mayo scoring) in a Phase 2, open-label, Proof-of-Concept (PoC) clinical trial evaluating Brilacidin for UP/UPS. In addition, mucosal healing was evidenced by endoscopic review, an increasingly important measure toward establishing a drug’s efficacy. In late 2018, the Company presented a scientific poster—Brilacidin for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (available for download here, pdf)—at the inaugural “IBD Innovate 2018” conference, hosted by the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. Brilacidin may be particularly beneficial in treating IBD due to: 1) its ability to inhibit Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), which is being pursued as a novel therapeutic avenue in IBD; and 2) its potential to compensate for defensin deficiencies that are implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD.

Excerpt...

There are no specific therapeutics approved by the FDA to treat people with Covid-19. A robust research effort is currently under way to develop a vaccine against Covid-19. Critical to moving the field forward, even in the context of an outbreak, is ensuring that investigational products are evaluated in scientifically and ethically sound studies. Below is a list of the various coronavirus drugs and approaches that biopharmaceutical companies across the world are developing that have the potential to become major coronavirus vaccines or antivirals for treating the contagious coronavirus infection.



Company Drug/ Vaccine Notes


Tonix Pharmaceuticals TNX-1800 The vaccine is a modified horsepox virus developed using Tonix’s proprietary horsepox vaccine platform.


Innovation Pharmaceuticals

Brilacidin

A defensin mimetic drug candidate, as a potential treatment for coronavirus. Brilacidin has shown antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties in several clinical trials



Inovio Pharmaceuticals and Beijing Advaccine Biotechnology INO-4800


The company has started pre-clinical testing for clinical product manufacturing.

The vaccine development is supported by a $9m grant from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). Inovio aims to progress the vaccine through phase one human testing in the US to test safety and efficacy. A phase one clinical trial is planned to be conducted in parallel in China, by Beijing Advaccine.

Clover Biopharmaceuticals Recombinant subunit vaccine The company is developing the vaccine based on the trimeric S protein (S-Trimer) of the 2019-nCoV virus, which is responsible for binding with the host cell and causing a viral infection.
Vaxart Coronavirus vaccine The company plans to develop vaccines based on the published genome of 2019-nCOV to be tested in pre-clinical models for mucosal and systemic immune responses.


CytoDyn Leronlimab


Leronlimab (PRO 140) is a CCR5 antagonist.

The drug is already being investigated in phase two clinical trials as a treatment for HIV and has been awarded fast-track approval status by the FDA.

Applied DNA Sciences and Takis Biotech Linear DNA Vaccine The Joint Venture will use Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based DNA manufacturing technology to develop the vaccine.
Bioxytran BXT-25 The Company announced that it is exploring partners to develop its lead drug candidate, BX-25, as a treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in late-stage patients infected with the coronavirus.


Novavax MERS coronavirus vaccine candidate


It is a crucial target for coronavirus vaccine development by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and is a priority disease for WHO. The candidate is designed to primarily bind to the major surface S-protein and developed using the company’s recombinant nanoparticle vaccine technology. Tested along with the Novavax’s proprietary adjuvant Matrix-M™, it inhibited infection by inducing immune responses in the laboratory studies.

Inovio Pharma


INO-4700


The investigational DNA immunotherapy, INO-4700 (GLS-5300) is being developed with partner, GeneOne Life Science. It is delivered as vaccine intramuscularly, using the Cellectra®delivery device.

Gilead Sciences


Remdesivir (GS-5734) An ebola drug developed by Gilead Sciences that was found to be ineffective is now being tested in phase III randomised clinical trial in partnership with China.

The trials are being performed on 761 patients in a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study at multiple hospitals in Wuhan, the epicentre of the novel coronavirus outbreak. The results from the trials are expected to be available over the next few weeks.

Biocryst Pharma
Galidesivir The antiviral drug Galidesivir (BCX4430) has shown broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of pathogens including coronavirus. It is a nucleoside RNA polymerase inhibitor that disrupts the process of viral replication.

The drug has already shown survival benefits in patients against deadly viruses such as Ebola, Zika, Marburg, and Yellow fever.

Regeneron REGN3048-3051


The combination of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies REGN3048 and REGN3051 is being studied against coronavirus infection in a first-in-human clinical trial sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The safety and tolerability of the drug will be studied in 48 patients.

Both the antibodies bind to S-protein of MERS coronavirus. The intravenous administration of the drug in the mouse model of MERS resulted in the high-level neutralization of the MERS coronavirus in circulating blood with reduced viral loads in the lungs.

Vir Biotechnology

The Company announced that it has identified two monoclonal antibodies that can bind to the virus that causes Covid-19. The antibodies target the spike (S) protein of the virus by entering through the cellular receptor ACE2. The company has formed a partnership with WuXi Biologics on 25 February to commercialise the antibodies identified to treat coronavirus.

Generex Vaccine

The company will utilis\ze its Ii-Key immune system activation technology to produce a Covid-19 peptide for human clinical trials.
Moderna mRNA-1273 The first vials of the experimental vaccine have been shipped and will be used in a planned Phase 1 study in the United States.

Serum Institute of India Vaccine Serum Institute of India (SII) is collaborating with Codagenix, a US-based biopharmaceutical company, to develop a coronavirus cure using a vaccine strain similar to the original virus. The vaccine is currently in the pre-clinical testing phase, while human trials are expected to commence in the next six months. SII is expected to launch the vaccine in the market by early 2022.

Zydus Cadila Vaccine Zydus Cadila announced the launch of an accelerated research programme to develop a vaccine for Covid-19 using two novel approaches. The first approach includes the development of a DNA vaccine against the viral membrane protein of the virus, while a live attenuated recombinant measles virus (rMV) vectored vaccine will be developed in the second approach. The rMV-based vaccine works by inducing specific neutralising antibodies, which will provide protection from the coronavirus infection.

NanoViricides NanoViricides, a clinical-stage company, is working on developing a treatment for nCoV-2019 using its nanoviricide® technology. The company’s technology is used to develop ligands that can bind to the virus in the same way as a cognate receptor and attack various points of the virus.

ImmunoPrecise Antibodies


Coronavirus vaccine


ImmunoPrecise Antibodies has launched a vaccine and therapeutic antibody program to develop a vaccine as well as antibodies against Covid-19. The company will use its B Cell Select™ and DeepDisplay™ discovery platforms to therapeutic compounds against the coronavirus.

33. Innovation Pharmaceuticals

Treatment: Brilacidin

Type: Defensin mimetic in Phase II development in oral muscositis in Head and Neck Cancer patients

Status: Innovation said March 10 that tests of Brilacidin as a potential COVID-19 treatment were to start the week of March 16 at an undisclosed U.S. Regional Biocontainment Lab. The company said Brilacidin was a compelling candidate due to its unique qualities to mimic the human innate immune system and a mechanism of action that includes disruption of the membrane of pathogens, leading to cell death.

On February 24 Innovation said that it submitted a Material Transfer Agreement with an unidentified “leading U.S.-based virology laboratory” to study Brilacidin for SARS-CoV-2. If lab tests prove successful, Innovation said, it will expedite research and clinical development of Brilacidin “via pharmaceutical partnerships, academic collaborations and government grants.” Innovation has also submitted a preliminary summary of Brilacidin’s potential for treating coronavirus to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

VERO cells, a monkey kidney cell line commonly used to screen small molecule inhibitors of viruses, were used to test whether Brilacidin inhibits SARS-CoV-2. Cells were pretreated with Brilacidin at increasing concentrations (at 2 µM and at 10 µM) for two hours prior to the infection. Cells treated with the vehicle alone (Dimethyl sulfoxide or DMSO) were maintained alongside, as controls. At 16 hours post-infection (16hpi), researchers observed a dose-dependent reduction in the SARS-CoV-2 infectious viral titers from the Brilacidin treated cells as compared to the vehicle-alone control, as shown below. (The higher number of asterisks denote higher statistical significance compared to control.)

The Company is reviewing data received yesterday and anticipates more data will be forthcoming. Following discussions with researchers at the RBL, the Company will provide additional information and insight into possible joint research plans going forward. It is management’s understanding that few compounds advance to this next stage of SARS-CoV-2 research.

In a broader context, demonstration of Brilacidin’s direct antiviral activity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus supports the drug’s unique 3-in-1 therapeutic potential—antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial—to treat COVID-19 and its associated complications. Additional data, based on successfully completed Phase 2 clinical studies in other clinical indications, using various modes of administration, show Brilacidin’s ability to inhibit interleukin-6 (IL-6) and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, identified as central drivers in the worsening prognoses of COVID-19 patients. Brilacidin’s robust antimicrobial properties might also help fight secondary bacterial infections, which can co-present in patients with COVID-19.

Innovation Pharmaceuticals Receives Pre-IND Response from FDA on COVID-19 Trial



Brilacidin


Company finalizing Brilacidin protocol; clinical study anticipated to commence in 4Q2020

WAKEFIELD, MA – November 2, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Innovation Pharmaceuticals (OTCQB:IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today receipt of written feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that is in general agreement with the Company’s planned clinical trial for Brilacidin, a defensin-mimetic drug candidate, for the treatment of COVID-19. The FDA response completes the Pre-Investigational New Drug (Pre-IND) process.

The FDA provided feedback on clinical development plans for the evaluation of Brilacidin as a treatment for COVID-19. The Company is now incorporating this feedback and finalizing the trial protocol for its planned Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-national study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Brilacidin in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Target enrollment for the trial is 120 patients. Contract Research Organizations have been secured to expedite trial enrollment with many clinical sites expressing interest in participating in the study. The Company anticipates commencing the Brilacidin for COVID-19 clinical trial in 4Q2020.

“Getting to the point of being able to advance Brilacidin as a potential treatment for COVID-19 required an enormous amount of time, resources, and team effort,” commented Leo Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “From the manufacturing of drug supply, to researching Brilacidin’s mechanisms of action in vitro against SARS-CoV-2 in infected cells, to now preparing and planning for the COVID-19 clinical study—was an extraordinary effort.”

Ehrlich added: “We are extremely grateful for the hard work of our employees, consultants and affiliated researchers. While no one can predict with certainty how Brilacidin will perform in clinical testing against COVID-19, we are optimistic based on the compelling preclinical antiviral data we have released and Brilacidin’s consistently successful results in other clinical trials. Our hope is Brilacidin for COVID-19 can be an important part of the solution to help rid the world of this deadly coronavirus.”

Brilacidin COVID-19 Preprint

The Company, based on pre-clinical research conducted in collaboration with George Mason University, has released a preprint, prior to formal peer review submission, demonstrating Brilacidin’s COVID-19 treatment potential. The preprint can now be downloaded on bioRxiv.org at the link below.

Brilacidin and COVID-19

Brilacidin is one of the few drugs targeting COVID-19 that has been tested in human trials (a total of 8) for other clinical indications, providing established safety and efficacy data on over 460 subjects, thereby potentially enabling it to rapidly help address the novel coronavirus crisis. Laboratory testing at independent laboratories supports Brilacidin’s antiviral ability to safely and potently inhibit SARS-CoV-2. In a human lung cell line, Brilacidin achieved a Selectivity Index of 426. A molecular screening study of 11,552 compounds also supports Brilacidin as a promising novel coronavirus treatment. Additional pre-clinical and clinical data support Brilacidin’s inhibition of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which have been identified as central drivers in the worsening prognoses of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Brilacidin’s robust antimicrobial properties might also help to fight secondary bacterial infections, which can co-present in up to 20 percent of COVID-19 patients. Collectively, these data support Brilacidin as a unique 3 in 1 combination—antiviral, immuno/anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial—COVID-19 therapeutic candidate.

FDA Grants IND Approval for Phase 2 Clinical Trial of Innovation Pharmaceuticals’ Brilacidin for Treating COVID-19
Brilacidin
· Brilacidin’s potent in vitro inhibition of the Washington and Italian strains of SARS-CoV-2 support its potential to inhibit emerging coronavirus mutations (variants), such as those in the United Kingdom, Denmark and South Africa
· 120-patient trial to be conducted at U.S. and international clinical sites
· Primary endpoint time to sustained recovery through Day 29

WAKEFIELD, MA – December 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Innovation Pharmaceuticals (OTCQB:IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing Brilacidin, a Host Defense Protein (HDP) mimetic representing a new class of drug with antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) has approved the Company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application to proceed with initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial of Brilacidin in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Brilacidin has been shown in vitro to be effective against different SARS-CoV-2 strains (Washington and Italian), as well as multiple human coronaviruses, making it less likely to be affected by emerging mutations (in the United Kingdom, Denmark and South Africa) and further differentiating the drug from other COVID-19 treatments in development today.

With its unique HDP mimetic properties, Brilacidin has potential to exert antiviral activity across SARS-CoV-2 variants. The sudden emergence of highly contagious new variants of the coronavirus illuminates the urgent need for drugs, like Brilacidin, with a different mechanism of action from current antivirals to get this resilient virus under control.

The Phase 2 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-national, multi-center study expected to enroll approximately 120 patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19. The trial’s primary endpoint is time to sustained recovery through Day 29 based on the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT) clinical status ordinal scale. The Company will now complete site initiation visits and contracts to add additional clinical sites to the study.

“It’s clear from comments of infectious disease experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci and recent news reports on emerging COVID-19 variants that we are not out of the woods yet with the coronavirus, by any stretch of the imagination. Even with vaccines starting to be rolled-out, it is going to be many more months for them to reach the masses and potentially years before vaccines are available worldwide,” commented Leo Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “There is now and will be into the foreseeable future a real need for new therapeutics to treat people who contract the infection. We have great hopes Brilacidin will emerge as a novel therapeutic to help fight the global pandemic.”

A molecular screening study of 11,552 compounds also supports Brilacidin as a promising novel coronavirus treatment. Brilacidin antiviral research to date has been limited to laboratory-based experiments. Additional pre-clinical and clinical data support Brilacidin’s inhibition of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which have been identified as central drivers in the worsening prognoses of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Brilacidin’s robust antimicrobial properties might also help to fight secondary bacterial infections, which can co-present in up to 20 percent of COVID-19 patients. Collectively, these data support Brilacidin as a unique 3 in 1 combination—antiviral, immuno/anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial—COVID-19 therapeutic candidate, with pan-coronavirus treatment potential.

Innovation Pharma Provides Study Details for Ongoing Phase 2 Clinical Trial of Brilacidin in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
Brilacidin
WAKEFIELD, MA – February 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Innovation Pharmaceuticals (OTCQB:IPIX) (“the Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, today provides additional study details for its ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial assessing Brilacidin as a novel therapeutic in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Patients are being treated, with recruitment and enrollment progressing at trial sites.

Innovation Pharma is developing Brilacidin, a defensin-mimetic, under Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Phase 2 Brilacidin for COVID-19 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multi-center study with planned enrollment of ~120 subjects with moderate-to-severe COVID-19. Two treatment arms are enrolling patients—active and placebo, with ~60 patients per arm. The study protocol provides for 3 days of study drug administration.

· Active Arm (Brilacidin): Standard of Care + daily Brilacidin IV infusion for 3 days
· Control Arm (Placebo): Standard of Care + daily Saline IV infusion for 3 days

After an interim review, by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC), dosing may be extended to 5 days.

The trial’s primary endpoint is time to sustained recovery through Day 29, using a clinical status ordinal scale based on that used in the series of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trials (ACTTs). Additional endpoints include: in-hospital outcomes (e.g., duration of hospitalization, time to discharge), all-cause mortality, measurement of disease biomarkers (e.g., CRP, ferritin) and inflammation-related biomarkers (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, total IL-18, TNF-α), changes to SARS-CoV-2 viral load, as well as other key measures.

The study protocol will be registered and posted on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Brilacidin and COVID-19
Brilacidin, which has received FDA Fast Track designation for the potential treatment of COVID-19, is one of the few drugs targeting COVID-19 that has been tested in human trials (a total of 8) for other clinical indications, providing established safety and efficacy data on over 460 subjects, thereby potentially enabling it to rapidly help address the novel coronavirus crisis. Pre-clinical testing at independent laboratories supports Brilacidin’s antiviral ability to safely and potently inhibit SARS-CoV-2, and multiple strains of human coronaviruses (H-CoVs). In a human lung cell line against SARS-CoV-2, Brilacidin achieved a Selectivity Index of 426. A molecular screening study of 11,552 compounds also supports Brilacidin as a promising novel coronavirus treatment. Brilacidin antiviral research to date has been limited to laboratory-based experiments. Additional pre-clinical and clinical data support Brilacidin’s inhibition of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and other pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which have been identified as central drivers in the worsening prognoses of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Brilacidin’s robust antimicrobial properties might also help to fight secondary bacterial infections, which can co-present in up to 20 percent of COVID-19 patients. Collectively, these data support Brilacidin as a unique 3-in-1 combination—antiviral, immuno/anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial—COVID-19 therapeutic candidate, with pan-coronavirus treatment potential. The Company has initiated a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial of Brilacidin for treatment of COVID-19 in moderate-to-severe hospitalized patients. A peer-reviewed article in Viruses supporting Brilacidin’s COVID-19 treatment potential can be accessed at the link below.
