Citius Pharmaceuticals Nears Market Breakthrough With Two Leading Products

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From fighting cancer to treating bloodstream infections, Citius Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXR) is busy trying to solve some of the world’s ills. That’s picking up steam with two of its lead products close to commercialization. Take Mino-Lok (MLT), Citius Pharmaceuticals ' novel antibiotic lock solution that combines minocycline, ethanol and edetate disodium to treat patients with catheter-related blood stream infections. Mino-Lok offers hospitals an alternative to removing and replacing a central venous catheter (CVC), and that could reduce the number of serious adverse events like air embolism and bleeding. It could also save hospitals money. Bringing It To The Market Citius Pharmaceuticals CEO and co-founder Leonard Mazur told Benzinga that his company has “extremely positive” topline data from a Phase 3 Trial of Mino-Lok. Now Citius is meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to move ahead with Mino-Lok, he said. Once Mino-Lok is approved, the company says it will be the only FDA-backed product for infected catheters in the market, presenting a big opportunity for the company. “The market potential is about $2 billion,” said Mazur. “Positive announcements will come out of the meeting but I can’t predict that moment.” Then there is LYMPHIR, a recombinant fusion protein designed to treat T-cell lymphomas. The drug agent combines the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor binding domain with diphtheria toxin fragments. The agent specifically binds to IL-2 receptors on the cell surface, causing diphtheria toxin fragments that have entered cells to inhibit protein synthesis. In 2011 and 2013, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to LYMPHIR for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In 2021, Citius acquired an exclusive license with rights to develop and commercialize LYMPHIR in all markets except for Japan and certain other parts of Asia. In March this year, the FDA accepted Citius’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for LYMPHIR with a decision expected on August 13, the FDA's assigned Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date. If approved, Citius is preparing for LYMPHIR commercialization later this year. “We’re very excited about this launching during the fourth quarter,” said Mazur. “We go from no revenue to revenues.” The executive pegged the market opportunity at $300 to $400 million, telling Benzinga LYMPHIR is an additive and won’t take market share from anyone. Shoring Up Shareholder Value Bringing two drug products to market isn't the only way Citius is enhancing shareholder value. The company is also spinning out its wholly-owned oncology unit to form Citius Oncology, a stand-alone publicly traded entity. It is doing it via a SPAC deal with TenX Keane (NASDAQ: TENK). Citius Pharma is getting 67.5 million shares in Citius Oncology at $10 per share, valuing the stake at $675 million and will retain majority ownership of approximately 90%. This transaction is expected to unlock significant value for Citius shareholders by separating the oncology business, potentially leading to increased access to capital markets and further development of new applications and additional intellectual property, reports Citius. It also underscores Citius’s strategy to purchase assets, develop them and bring them to market and then unlock shareholder value. Citius Oncology will serve as a platform to develop and commercialize novel targeted oncology therapies, with LYMPHIR the first to go to market. The company said the deal is expected to provide Citius Oncology with improved access to the public equity markets and thereby facilitate the commercialization of LYMPHIR and position the company to explore additional value-creating opportunities more fully. “The reason we are doing it is we get a Nasdaq listing by having the SPAC acquire the assets and at the same time it enables us to do something to prevent dilution for shareholders,” said Mazur. The CEO counts himself as one of them; he has invested $22.5 million of his own money in the business. “During the first year on the market we will be profitable. All that benefits Citius shareholders.” Featured photo by Nataliya Smirnova on Unsplash.

Pancreatic Cancer Could Overtake Colorectal Cancer To Become Second Leading Cause Of Cancer Death – Oncolytics Is Working On A Promising Treatment

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Pancreatic cancer isn’t something that only happens to those who smoke, are overweight, have a family history of the condition, or are older than 55. Increasingly, women and younger adults are getting diagnosed with this deadly form of cancer. It’s alarming, given one study found that in the U.S., the incidence of pancreatic cancer among those under the age of 55 is increasingly more rapidly than in those 55+. While pancreatic cancer is now the third leading cause of cancer deaths, by 2030, it is expected to morph into second place, surpassing colorectal cancer deaths. This year alone, about 66,440 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, a record for this deadly form of cancer. What’s more, about 51,750 Americans are expected to die from the disease this year. Among cancers, pancreatic is a tough one to treat. It’s a highly aggressive form of cancer that attacks the pancreas, an organ needed for digestion. With limited treatment options, the five-year survival rate is just 13%. It doesn’t help that most people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a late stage when it has already spread to other parts of the body. That’s particularly true with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which is a type of pancreatic cancer that’s created from the cells that line the ducts of the pancreas. It's one of the most lethal forms of pancreatic cancer. A person’s health, lifestyle, diet, age and family history all play a role in whether they will get this lethal disease, and changing lifestyles may be a factor in the rise in the condition’s prevalence. Given the difficulty of treating pancreatic cancer and its increasing incidence, much medical research is directed toward earlier detection and better treatments. As a result, the global pancreatic cancer market is projected to reach $7.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period. Your Immune System Fired Up One area of treatment that holds promise is immunotherapies. Administered as a pill, injection, or intravenously, immunotherapies help the body’s immune system attack cancer cells. On its own, the immune system has difficulty finding and attacking cancer cells but with these therapies, it can be an avid hunter. That’s exactly what Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY), the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in immunotherapeutics for oncology, is betting will happen with pelareorep, its leading agent to fight pancreatic cancer that has demonstrated promising results in phase 1 and 2 studies. It is an intravenously delivered immunotherapeutic agent that induces anti-cancer immune responses and promotes an inflamed tumor phenotype — turning “cold” tumors “hot.” Pelareorep works by generating, recruiting and training immune cells to recognize and kill cancer while remodeling the tumor microenvironment to enable immune cell access. When added to existing treatment regimens such as chemotherapy, pelareorep demonstrates the potential to extend survival times in addition to expanding existing and new T cell clones in the blood, the company reports. Testing Under Way Pelareorep is being tested in the GOBLET study, a phase 1/2 multiple-indication study in advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal cancers conducted at 17 centers in Germany. The aim of the study, which kicked off in fall 2021, is to investigate the safety of the drug combination and improvements in tumor size. The GOBLET study was recently expanded to include a new cohort to test pelareorep and modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) with or without atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. mFOLFIRINOX is a chemotherapy treatment for pancreatic cancer that combines several drugs. The new cohort, which is testing the objective response rate (ORR) and safety, is supported by the $5 million Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) Therapeutic Accelerator Award. The grant was established to accelerate the development of new treatments for pancreatic cancer patients. Hitting Milestones Oncolytics Biotech recently dosed the first patient in that expanded cohort, marking a major milestone for the company. “We’re excited to begin evaluating another pelareorep combination therapy that could result in a second pancreatic cancer registration program for the company,” said Thomas Heineman, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Oncolytics. “The combination of pelareorep, atezolizumab, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in pancreatic cancer patients more than doubled tumor response rates compared to earlier trials of chemotherapy alone. That combination received Fast Track Designation from the FDA and is expected to be evaluated in an adaptive registration-enabling trial through the Global Coalition for Adaptive Research (GCAR). If the combination of pelareorep and mFOLFIRINOX also demonstrates a promising efficacy signal, we could have two pancreatic cancer treatment regimens on the path to registration.” The trial is being closely watched because of the promise the treatment holds if it proves successful. mFOLFIRINOX is currently considered one of two primary treatment options for many pancreatic cancer patients. If pelareorep is effective, it could broaden the population of metastatic pancreatic cancer patients who could benefit from pelareorep-based therapies, the company reports. “Oncolytics is in a favorable position as we prepare to advance multiple pelareorep programs toward registration track studies and continue to expand pelareorep’s potential as a backbone immunotherapy that can impact various tumor types,” said Dr. Matt Coffey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics. “The ability to improve the lives of cancer patients is something that motivates everyone at Oncolytics, and beginning to treat pancreatic cancer patients in the mFOLFIRINOX cohort of GOBLET is hopefully yet another step towards that goal.” Featured photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash.

MIRA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MIRA) Reports Promising Pre-Clinical Trial Results For Mental Health Treatment, To Submit Investigational New Drug Application By End Of Year

MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From cognitive impairments to depression-related illnesses, the current treatments aren’t doing enough. Sure, some may bring relief to the millions of people worldwide affected by neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, but they come with a lot of side effects and accessibility challenges that can render them less than ideal. That leaves a gap in effective, safe and affordable solutions. MIRA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MIRA) may have the answer. This preclinical-stage pharmaceutical company is focused on transforming the treatment of mental health disorders through scientific research and technological advancements. It's betting that its two compounds, MIRA-55 and Ketamir-2, will revolutionize mental health care. Take MIRA-55 for starters. The novel compound aims to deliver the therapeutic benefits of THC and CBD without their associated side effects, such as increased appetite, paranoia and cognitive decline. It’s currently under investigation for treating neuropathic pain, anxiety and cognitive enhancements without the impurities of marijuana. In preclinical studies, MIRA-55 has shown the ability to double the memory of mice, in contrast to THC, which is known to impair memory, reports MIRA. MIRA-55 could be particularly beneficial for patients seeking cognitive enhancements and anxiety relief without the downside of impaired memory or other side effects. Meanwhile, Ketamir-2, an oral ketamine analog designed to be taken as a pill, is being investigated for its potential antidepressant effects, particularly for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation. Unlike traditional ketamine, which requires intravenous administration – posing accessibility and safety challenges – Ketamir-2 aims to simplify and improve the treatment experience. The Science Behind Ketamir-2 Recent preclinical data reveals that Ketamir-2 selectively inhibits the NMDA receptor at the PCP-binding site, avoiding interactions with opioid receptors, dopamine, serotonin transporters, and acetylcholine receptors. This unique selectivity may reduce side effects typically associated with traditional ketamine. Ketamir-2 has a 30- to 50-fold lower affinity to the PCP site compared to ketamine, which itself has about 10-fold lower affinity than PCP (Phencyclidine, Angel Dust). This is significant because ketamine was developed to be similar to PCP but with lower affinity, thereby reducing the risk of psychoactive side effects. In this respect, advocates consider Ketamir-2 a third-generation drug. Moreover, Ketamir-2 is optimized for brain delivery. It is not a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a membrane protein that pumps drugs out of cells, including those in the brain. This characteristic could allow Ketamir-2 to have better oral absorption and penetrate the blood-brain barrier more effectively than traditional ketamine, enhancing its therapeutic potential and bioavailability. Ketamir-2's oral bioavailability is predicted to be around 80%, which is significantly higher than traditional ketamine's 30%. Preclinical studies have shown that oral Ketamir-2 is safe at high doses and effective in several antidepressant and anxiolytic models. It does not appear to induce hyper-locomotor activity – a common side effect of traditional ketamine – and has shown no interaction with the mu-opioid receptor. MIRA says this could potentially mean a reduced risk of opioid-related side effects and dependency. Recent studies further highlight Ketamir-2's anti-depressive and anxiolytic effects in a mouse model, with significant improvements in behavioral tests compared to traditional ketamine. A Step Toward Improved Patient Care If MIRA is right about Ketamir-2, it has the potential to significantly positively impact mental health care, potentially helping millions of people through improved access and affordability. Traditional ketamine treatment for depression requires a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) protocol due to its potential for abuse and severe side effects. This involves strict regulations, including the need for intravenous administration under medical supervision, making it less accessible and more costly for patients. In contrast, Ketamir-2, as an oral formulation, aims to provide a more convenient and less intimidating treatment option, with the ease of taking a pill at home potentially leading to better adherence to treatment regimens compared to frequent hospital visits for IV infusions. By reducing the need for medical supervision and hospital visits, Ketamir-2 could enhance patient compliance and decrease overall treatment costs. Furthermore, MIRA reports that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has conducted a scientific review of both MIRA-55 and Ketamir-2 and determined that neither compound is classified as a controlled substance – significantly easing their regulatory pathway. Exploring New Frontiers: Orphan Drug Indications MIRA's journey doesn't stop at common mental health disorders. The company is exploring Ketamir-2's potential efficacy in treating chemotherapy-induced depression and cancer-related neuropathic pain. These conditions often have limited treatment options and significant patient populations in need of effective therapies. Moreover, due to its novel chemical profile, MIRA is investigating options for orphan drug indications such as multiple sclerosis-induced depression and Huntington's disease-induced depression. The company believes these rare conditions could benefit from innovative treatments like Ketamir-2. Market Potential And Patient Population The market potential for MIRA Pharmaceuticals' compounds is substantial. Cognitive impairments, including conditions like Alzheimer's disease and dementia, affect millions of individuals. Close to seven million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's, a number expected to rise to nearly 13 million by 2050, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Meanwhile, anxiety disorders affect over 40 million adults in the United States, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. For depression, particularly treatment-resistant depression, the numbers are equally staggering. Approximately 17.6 million Americans are diagnosed with major depressive disorder, with 5.5 million reporting suicidal ideation and about 2 million having suicidal ideation with intent. The annual burden of medication-treated major depressive disorder in the United States is estimated at $92.7 billion, with $43.8 billion attributable to treatment-resistant depression. Looking Ahead: The Path To Regulatory Approval MIRA Pharmaceuticals reports that it is on track to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of this year. If granted, this would pave the way for human clinical trials, bringing Ketamir-2 closer to becoming a new standard of care for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The company's commitment to advancing these compounds underscores its mission to address the unmet needs of patients suffering from debilitating conditions like depression, TRD and PTSD.
