Astria Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATXS), a biopharmaceutical
company focused on developing life-changing therapies for allergic
and immunologic diseases, today announced that the European
Commission (EC) has granted Orphan Medicinal Product Designation
(OMPD) to navenibart for the treatment of hereditary angioedema
(HAE). Navenibart is a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of plasma
kallikrein designed to provide long-acting attack prevention for
HAE. Initial results from the Phase 1b/2 ALPHA-STAR clinical trial
of navenibart have demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability
profile and a reduction of monthly attack rates by 90-96% when
dosed once or twice over six months.
“We are very pleased to receive Orphan Medicinal Product
Designation for navenibart in Europe,” said Jill C. Milne, Ph.D.,
Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that OMPD status, in
combination with the FDA’s designation of navenibart as an orphan
drug in the United States, reinforces both the global unmet need
for people with HAE and the potential for navenibart to change the
way that people live with HAE. We look forward to the expected
progression of navenibart into a Phase 3 trial in the first quarter
of 2025 and continuing our efforts to bring a new treatment option
to people living with HAE around the world.”
In the European Union (EU), OMPD is granted by the EC following
a recommendation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) via its
Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP). OMPD status
provides incentives for drug development sponsors to develop
products for diagnosing, preventing or treating life-threatening or
very serious conditions that are rare and affect not more than five
in 10,000 persons in the EU. Sponsors may receive regulatory and
financial incentives as well as eligibility for EMA assistance in
optimizing the candidate’s clinical development.
