The independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recommended the continuation of patient enrollment as planned. There has been no safety concern with the use of leuprolide (FP-001) injectable Emulsion in pediatric CPP patients. TAIPEI, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Foresee Pharmaceuticals (TPEx: 6576), ("Foresee") today announces the third positive safety review by the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board for its Casppian Phase 3 registration study. The DSMB recommended that Foresee Pharmaceuticals continue the trial as planned without any modification. The Casppian Phase 3 study is an open-label, multicenter, multinational clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of leuprolide (FP-001) 42 mg- controlled release in patients with central (Gonadotropin-Dependent) precocious puberty (CPP). Foresee's leuprolide injectable emulsion, 42 mg (marketed under the brand name CAMCEVI®), is currently approved for the treatment of adult patients with advanced prostate cancer and has demonstrated positive efficacy and safety results with statistically significant treatment effects in adult male patients with advanced prostate cancer. "The third favorable review from the DSMB, received after reaching nearly 75% enrollment in the Casppian trial, reinforces the promising safety data for FP-001 42 mg administered every six months in children with CPP. Early efficacy signals further support our confidence that this therapy could represent a groundbreaking advancement for pediatric patients with CPP. We are committed to swiftly completing enrollment while upholding the utmost safety and ethical rigor standards throughout this pivotal study," said Bassem Elmankabadi, M.D., Senior Vice President of Clinical Development of Foresee. "This DSMB recommendation again highlights the effectiveness of Foresee's innovative Stabilized Injectable Formulation (SIF) long-acting injectable (LAI) technology across several disease indications, including in children with CPP," said Dr. Yuhua Li, Chief Technology Officer of Foresee. "The outcome from the third DSMB for the Casppian study represents a major advancement in our mission to enhance the standard of care and improve the quality of life for children with CPP.," said Dr. Ben Chien, CEO and Chairman of Foresee. "This positive recommendation moves us nearer to our objective of providing safe and effective treatments for children in need, as well as to the anticipated top-line results from this trial, expected in 2025." About CPP GnRH-dependent CPP is a condition that causes early sexual development in girls and boys, as their "hypothalamus - pituitary gland - gonadal axis" is activated too early, causing children to enter puberty prematurely, between 2 years and 9 years of age. CPP patients are at risk of having significantly short stature as adults in addition to social, psychological, and emotional issues, including lower self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and depression, which may negatively impact their quality of life. According to the NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders) website, CPP occurs in 1 out of 5,000 to 10,000 children. It is estimated that approximately 80% - 90% of CPP cases are idiopathic, especially in females, with a female-to-male ratio of around 20. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, including leuprolide, are the most widely used treatment for CPP. About Foresee Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. Foresee is a Taiwan and US-based biopharmaceutical company listed on the Taipei Exchange (TPEx: 6576). Foresee's R&D efforts are focused on two key areas, namely its unique Stabilized Injectable Formulation (SIF) long-acting injectable (LAI) technology with derived drug products targeting specialty markets and secondly, its transformative preclinical and clinical first-in-class NCE programs targeting rare and severe disease areas with high unmet needs. Foresee's product portfolio includes late and early-stage programs. CAMCEVI 42 mg, or the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, is now approved in the U.S., Canada, EU, Taiwan, Israel, and the UK and was launched in the U.S. in April 2022. Additionally, the U.S. NDA for the 3-month version of CAMCEVI has been submitted and accepted for review with a PDUFA date of August 29, 2025, while the EU regulatory submission for the 3-month version of CAMCEVI is still under preparation. For the second indication of CAMCEVI 6-month LAI formulation, central precocious puberty (CPP), the Casppian Phase 3 clinical study is ongoing. CAMCEVI 6-month LAI formulation is also being developed in a Phase 3 clinical trial in premenopausal breast cancer in China in collaboration with its partner. Triptorelin (FP-014), aiming for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, is ready to enter Phase 3 clinical studies, with respective trials planned for the 3-month and 6-month ready-to-use LAI formulations. Aderamastat (FP-025), a highly selective oral MMP-12 inhibitor targeting inflammatory and fibrotic diseases, has been investigated in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in allergic asthmatic patients. The study had positive outcomes, with future development in rare immune-fibrotic diseases. Linvemastat (FP-020), a follow-on oral MMP-12 inhibitor, has completed a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, with development targeted at severe asthma, COPD, and IBD. Mirivadelgat (FP-045) is a highly selective oral small molecule allosteric activator of ALDH2, a mitochondrial enzyme, for which the FuschiA Phase 1b/2 Fanconi Anemia study is ongoing, and the Phase 2 WINDWARD study in pulmonary hypertension-interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) patients is in planning with targeted initiation in the first quarter of 2025. Building on the compelling biology of ALDH2 and translational data from several Foresee ALDH2 activators, a follow-on candidate from a new series of compounds is being selected for development in metabolic syndrome/healthy weight loss and the broader cardiovascular-renal-metabolic space.
