Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) Targets for Inflammatory Nephrosis, or ACTION3 for short.<\/p>\n<p>The full study will enrol 286 patients with FSGS globally, including some in mainland China.<\/p>\n<p>The pivotal multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate efficacy and safety of DMX-200 in patients with FSGS who are receiving a stable dose of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).<\/p>\n<p>Once the ARB dose is stable, patients will be randomised to receive either DMX-200 (120mg capsule twice daily) or placebo.<\/p>\n<p>DXB intends on opening sites in additional countries, including China, following release of Part 1 analysis expected on or around March 15, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>ACTION3, which has two interim analysis points built into the trial, is designed to capture evidence of proteinuria and\u00a0 kidney function (eGFR\u00a0 slope), to generate sufficient support for marketing approval.<\/p>\n<p>A subset of 144 patients (Part 2) enrolled in the study from all countries, including Mainland China, is to be incorporated in an interim analysis towards accelerated\/conditional marketing approval in regions where early access to medicines is possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Big market, partnerships opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>DXB says importantly, the IND approval confirms that no further manufacturing, non-clinical or clinical (bridging) studies are required before recruitment of Chinese patients in ACTION3\u2013which are often required for other product candidates as a prerequisite.<\/p>\n<p>DXB says the open IND will likely further support partnering discussions in the region.<\/p>\n<p>FSGS is a rare condition affecting the kidney\u2019s filtering units, where blood is purified, resulting in permanent kidney damage and eventual organ failure, necessitating either dialysis or a transplant.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently no approved therapies for the condition with a high unmet need, making it a substantial market opportunity estimated at billions of dollars for DXB.<\/p>\n<p>DXB says the total FSGS market in China alone is valued at US$2.2 billion by 2027, driven by more than 100,000 patients in mainland China with FSGS.<\/p>\n<p>DXB has already secured orphan drug designation (ODD) for DMX-200 in both the US and Europe for the treatment of FSGS due to the absence of an effective therapy.<\/p>\n<p>The brand name QYTOVRA has been approved for DMX-200 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and may be used as the brand name in some regions.<\/p>\n<p>DXB says positive data from the ACTION3 study may support a future marketing authorisation application for DMX-200 in China.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stockhead.com.au\/health\/dimerix-soars-on-230m-licensing-deal-with-advanz-pharma-for-dmx-200-into-rare-kidney-disease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>DXB announced in October<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0an exclusive license agreement with multinational pharmaceutical company Advanz Pharma.<\/p>\n<p>The deal covers the European Economic Area, UK, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand for commercialisation of DMX-200 for the treatment of FSGS following regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Another milestone event for Dimerix<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>DXB chief medical officer Dr David Fuller says the NMPA approval is a milestone event that allows the ACTION3 study to commence enrolment in the world\u2019s second largest pharmaceutical market and provide a new clinical trial option for FSGS patients in China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted that no bridging study in a Chinese population is required, which would allow the study to commence in China more efficiently after first analysis outcome,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to reporting the outcome of the study\u2019s first analysis in March 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Dimerix, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. <\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
