– Data include results from COURAGE Phase 3 and COMPOSUR Phase 4 studies of vibegron (GEMTESA®) – MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. (SMPA) presented new, positive data from the COURAGE Phase 3 open-label extension study of vibegron (GEMTESA®) in men living with overactive bladder (OAB) and receiving pharmacological therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Data presented from the Phase 3 COURAGE trial (URO-901-3006) included a total of 276 men with OAB symptoms receiving pharmacological therapy for BPH who participated in the open-label extension study. The primary outcome was to evaluate the long-term safety of vibegron 75 mg, which was well tolerated for up to 52 weeks in men with symptoms of OAB who were receiving pharmacological treatment for BPH. The data reveal that the efficacy results of treatment with vibegron 75 mg a day were sustained among those receiving vibegron for 52 weeks and improved after 28 weeks of vibegron treatment for those who received placebo during the first 12 weeks of a double-blind placebo-controlled study (URO-901-3005). Sustained efficacy results in all secondary outcomes were observed, including mean daily micturitions, urgency episodes, nocturia episodes, urge urinary incontinence episodes, IPSS-Storage and volume voided per micturition. Vibegron demonstrated favorable long-term safety and efficacy, with no new safety signals compared to prior OAB studies. At the conference SMPA also shared findings from the Phase 4 COMPOSUR, real-world study of vibegron in patients with OAB, which continue to support that it was generally safe and well-tolerated, with the majority of patients satisfied with treatment and remaining on vibegron after 12 months. Most common adverse events were urinary tract infection (4.0%), headache (2.7%), dizziness (2.2%) and diarrhea (2.0%). "SMPA remains committed to advancing scientific innovation that helps the lives of the millions of patients suffering from OAB and receiving pharmacological therapy for BPH," said Tsutomu Nakagawa, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of SMPA. "These data continue to reaffirm vibegron's safety and tolerability." Vibegron is approved for OAB with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency and urinary frequency in adults, and in December 2024, became the first and only beta-3 agonist approved for the treatment of men with OAB symptoms who are receiving pharmacological therapy for BPH. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS GEMTESA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to vibegron or any components of GEMTESA. Hypersensitivity reactions, such as angioedema, have occurred. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Urinary Retention Urinary retention has been reported in patients taking GEMTESA. The risk of urinary retention may be increased in patients with bladder outlet obstruction and also in patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of urinary retention, particularly in patients with bladder outlet obstruction or patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB. Discontinue GEMTESA in patients who develop urinary retention. Angioedema Angioedema of the face and/or larynx has been reported with GEMTESA. Angioedema has been reported to occur hours after the first dose or after multiple doses. Angioedema, associated with upper airway swelling, may be life-threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, immediately discontinue GEMTESA and provide appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway. ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (≥2%) reported with GEMTESA were headache, urinary tract infection, nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection. INDICATIONS AND USAGE GEMTESA® is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist indicated for the treatment of: overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency in adults. overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency in adult males on pharmacological therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Please click here for full Prescribing Information. About GEMTESA® (vibegron) In the U.S., GEMTESA (vibegron) has been indicated for the treatment of OAB with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency in adults since April 2021. GEMTESA was approved on December 18, 2024, for overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency in adult males on pharmacological therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). GEMTESA works by selectively targeting β3 adrenergic receptors to reduce OAB symptoms through the relaxation of the bladder detrusor muscle to increase capacity. About Overactive Bladder Overactive bladder (OAB) is a clinical condition that occurs when the bladder muscle contracts involuntarily. Symptoms may include urinary urgency (the sudden urge to urinate that is difficult to control), urgency incontinence (unintentional loss of urine immediately after an urgent need to urinate), and frequent urination (usually eight or more times in 24 hours).7 Approximately 33 million U.S. adults experience the bothersome symptoms of OAB.1 About Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in men in which the prostate gland is enlarged. Many men who are treated for symptoms are assumed to have an obstruction in the bladder caused by an enlarged prostate.4, 5 Even when the obstruction is alleviated by BPH treatment, unresolved symptoms of OAB may persist. About 60% of men with BPH are treated for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).4, 5 LUTS can be divided into storage, voiding, and postmicturition symptoms.8 More than half of men with LUTS report storage symptoms, and about a quarter report voiding symptoms.5 This suggests that many men with a diagnosis of BPH may have overactive bladder.5 About Sumitomo Pharma Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd., is a global pharmaceutical company based in Japan with key operations in the U.S. (Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc.), Canada (Sumitomo Pharma Canada, Inc.), and Europe (Sumitomo Pharma Switzerland GmbH) focused on addressing patient needs in oncology, urology, women's health, rare diseases, psychiatry & neurology, and cell & gene therapies.

As a selective monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor, XADAGO offers a unique mechanism of action that complements traditional therapies, potentially improving motor function and reducing "off" time in patients. The increasing prevalence of Parkinson's disease and the growing demand for effective therapies create a substantial market opportunity for XADAGO, particularly in regions with aging populations. LAS VEGAS, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's " XADAGO/EQUFINA Market Size, Forecast, and Market Insight Report" highlights the details around XADAGO/EQUFINA, an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) indicated as an adjunctive treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in patients with Parkinson's disease experiencing "off" episodes. The report provides product descriptions, patent details, and competitor products (marketed and emerging therapies) of XADAGO/EQUFINA. The report also highlights the historical and forecasted sales from 2020 to 2034 segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. Newron Pharmaceuticals/Eisai/Meiji Seika Pharma's XADAGO/EQUFINA (safinamide) Overview XADAGO is a monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor used alongside levodopa/carbidopa to help manage "off" episodes in individuals with Parkinson's disease. While its exact mode of action in treating Parkinson's is not fully understood, it is thought to work by inhibiting MAO-B, thereby reducing dopamine breakdown. This leads to increased dopamine levels and enhanced dopaminergic activity in the brain. XADAGO contains the active ingredient safinamide in the form of a mesylate salt and is available in 50 mg and 100 mg film-coated oral tablets. Each tablet provides either 65.88 mg or 131.76 mg of safinamide mesylate, equivalent to 50 mg or 100 mg of the safinamide base. The medication is marketed as XADAGO in the United States and Europe and under the name EQUFINA in Japan. Learn more about XADAGO/EQUFINA projected market size for Parkinson's disease @ XADAGO/EQUFINA Market Potential Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that mainly impairs movement control. It results from the slow degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, especially in the substantia nigra, a region crucial for managing voluntary motor function. According to estimates by DelveInsight, there were 2.7 million diagnosed prevalent cases of Parkinson's disease in the 7MM in 2023, with the United States accounting for around 45% of these cases. While a cure for Parkinson's remains elusive, a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies is used to manage symptoms. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies form key components of treatment, and surgical procedures may benefit select patients. Additionally, complementary therapies are sometimes employed to help address particular symptoms. Frequently prescribed medications for Parkinson's include levodopa, dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors, COMT inhibitors, amantadine, anticholinergics, and adenosine A2A antagonists. These treatments primarily target motor symptoms, which are a major concern for those affected. DelveInsight reports that the Parkinson's disease market in the 7MM was valued at USD 3.2 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow over the forecast period (2020–2034), fueled by the launch of new therapies, increasing prevalence, better access to healthcare, and rising demand for more advanced and effective treatment options.

Buntanetap has successfully completed Phase III trials for early-stage Parkinson's disease. Annovis Bio has scheduled a meeting with the FDA in Q1 2025 to determine the development path forward for Buntanetap in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Buntanetap is also being developed for Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and other neurodegenerative disorders. In November 2024, Cerevance announced the dosing of the first patient in its pivotal Phase III ARISE trial, evaluating solengepras as a potential adjunctive treatment for Parkinson's disease. Cerevance expects to report topline data in the first half of 2026. In December 2021, UCB partnered with Novartis to globally co-develop and co-commercialize UCB0599, a pioneering alpha-synuclein misfolding inhibitor currently in Phase II clinical trials for Parkinson's disease. To know more about the number of competing drugs in development, visit @ XADAGO/EQUFINA Market Positioning Compared to Other Drugs Key Milestones of XADAGO/EQUFINA In April 2020, Newron Pharmaceutical acknowledged that US WorldMeds, who held the US commercialization rights for the licensed drug, XADAGO, as a sub licensee of Zambon, had entered into a definitive agreement with Supernus Pharmaceuticals under which Supernus would acquire the CNS portfolio of US WorldMeds, including the US rights to XADAGO In November 2019, Eisai announced that it had launched the EQUFINA 50mg tablets for the indication of improvement of the wearing-off phenomenon in patients with Parkinson's disease under treatment with a drug containing levodopa in Japan. Manufacturing and marketing approval of EQUFINA was obtained in September 2019. In April 2017, Eisai Co., Ltd. and Meiji Seika Pharma announced entering into a license agreement for the commercialization of safinamide (development code: ME2125) to treat Parkinson's disease in Japan and Asia. In March 2017, Newron Pharmaceuticals announced the US FDA approval of XADAGO to treat Parkinson's disease as an add-on therapy to levodopa/carbidopa for patients experiencing "off" episodes. In March 2016, Zambon announced a strategic agreement with US WorldMeds to commercialize Newron's lead compound, XADAGO, to treat Parkinson's disease in the US. In February 2015, XADAGO was approved in the European Union as an add-on therapy to levodopa, alone or in combination with other Parkinson's medications, in mid-late stage PD patients with motor fluctuations. XADAGO/EQUFINA Patent Details XADAGO tablets are currently protected by three XADAGO patents with US patent numbers 8,076,515, 8,278,485, and 8,283,380, which expire between June 2027 and December 2028 and are listed in the FDA's publication, Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred to as the Orange Book. The company has a license agreement with Zambon S.p.A., Newron's partner, related to the XADAGO Patents, and as a new chemical entity, XADAGO is under the 5-year FDA exclusivity period that expires on March 21, 2022. In May 2017, Zambon filed a worldwide patent under the patent number WO2017207587A1. The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising safinamide and, more particularly, to taste-masked particles comprising said active ingredient or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, oral dosage forms that include said particles, and a process for preparing them. Discover how XADAGO/EQUFINA is shaping the Parkinson's disease treatment landscape @ XADAGO 50mg XADAGO/EQUFINA Market Dynamics XADAGO, marketed as EQUFINA in some regions (notably in South Korea and Japan), is a once-daily oral selective MAO-B inhibitor used as an add-on treatment for Parkinson's disease patients experiencing "off" episodes while on a stable dose of levodopa. The drug's unique dual mechanism of action—MAO-B inhibition and modulation of glutamate release—offers both dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic effects, positioning it as a differentiated product in the PD adjunctive therapy landscape. This has helped it carve a niche in markets where patients are inadequately controlled by levodopa alone, particularly those in mid-to-late-stage PD. The global market dynamics for XADAGO/EQUFINA are shaped by a mix of competitive intensity, regional adoption trends, and payer dynamics. In the U.S. and Europe, the drug has faced stiff competition from generic MAO-B inhibitors (like selegiline and rasagiline) and newer Parkinson's disease therapies, including COMT inhibitors, dopamine agonists, and extended-release levodopa formulations. Despite this, its favorable safety profile and once-daily dosing have supported its uptake in certain patient segments, especially in Europe. Market penetration has been slower in the U.S. due to both reimbursement hurdles and physician preference for more established adjunctive treatments. In Asia, particularly Japan and South Korea, EQUFINA has demonstrated stronger market performance thanks to focused commercial strategies and a high unmet need for effective "off time" management. Meiji Seika Pharma and Eisai, the regional marketing partners, have successfully leveraged the drug's differentiated profile in clinician education, which has led to growing adoption among neurologists. In Japan, where the aging population is rapidly expanding and Parkinson's prevalence is rising, EQUFINA has benefited from both demographic tailwinds and formulary access. Looking ahead, the market outlook for XADAGO/EQUFINA depends on several strategic levers, including lifecycle management, regional partnerships, and real-world evidence generation. The manufacturer's ability to expand into new geographies, secure favorable reimbursement, and differentiate against both generics and newer entrants will be critical. Moreover, as Parkinson's disease treatment moves toward more personalized approaches, XADAGO/EQUFINA may find sustained relevance in specific subpopulations, particularly those requiring a balance of efficacy and tolerability.

– Partnership with the NCI will build on the promising preliminary clinical activity of enzomenib in acute leukemia to further explore potential activity in other cancers – MARLBOROUGH, Mass., April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. (SMPA) today announced it has entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), to evaluate enzomenib, an investigational, oral, small molecule designed to inhibit the menin and KMT2A protein interaction present in certain difficult to treat cancers. This unique partnership aims to harness the combined expertise of SMPA and the NCI to further expand the scientific evaluation of enzomenib as a potential therapeutic and explore additional cancers to address unmet patient needs. Enzomenib is an investigational, oral, small-molecule currently being clinically evaluated by SMPA in Phase 1/2 clinical trials for relapsed or refractory acute leukemia. Enzomenib is designed to target the menin and mixed-lineage leukemia protein interaction, a key interaction for acute leukemia and other cancer cell growth. In preclinical studies, enzomenib demonstrated selective growth inhibition in human acute leukemia cell lines with KMT2A (MLL) rearrangements or NPM1 mutations – cancers with particularly high mortality rates and limited treatment options.1,3 As part of the collaboration, enzomenib will be explored in MyeloMATCH (Myeloid Malignancies Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice), an NCI precision medicine clinical trial designed to improve treatment outcomes for individuals diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Enzomenib will also be explored with other important NCI programs. "We are highly encouraged by the preliminary data showing promising clinical activity of enzomenib in patients with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia, and with the support and partnership of the National Cancer Institute, we are poised to continue this positive momentum by expanding exploration of its application across additional cancers," said Jatin Shah, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Oncology, SMPA. "We're honored to partner with the National Cancer Institute whose scientific expertise, resources and commitment to advancing oncological research will enable an even broader pursuit of scientific innovation on behalf of patients with urgent and unmet needs." About Enzomenib Enzomenib is an investigational, oral, small molecule inhibitor of the menin and mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) protein interaction, a key interaction in acute leukemia and other tumor cell proliferation and growth. Menin is a scaffold nuclear protein which plays key roles in gene expression and protein interactions involved in many biological pathways, including cell growth, cell cycle, genomic stability, and hematopoiesis.1,2 In preclinical studies, enzomenib has shown selective growth inhibition in human acute leukemia cell lines with KMT2A (MLL) rearrangements or NPM1 mutations.1,3 Enzomenib reduced the expression of the leukemia-associated genes HOXA9 and MEIS1, and increased the expression of the differentiation gene CD11b in human acute leukemia cell lines with MLL rearrangements and NPM1 mutation.4,5 The safety and efficacy of enzomenib is currently being clinically evaluated in a Phase 1/2 dose escalation/dose expansion study in patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia (NCT04988555). The FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation for enzomenib for the indication of acute myeloid leukemia in June 2022. The FDA granted Fast Track Designation for enzomenib for the indication of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with MLLr or NPM1m in June 2024. Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation for enzomenib for the indication of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with MLLr or NPM1m in September 2024.
