Researchers from Paratus Sciences Corp. presented the preclinical profile of PS-1001, a novel pan-inflammasome inhibitor designed to prevent IL-1β and IL-18 release.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with strong association with psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While some signaling pathways are well defined in HS, the role of TNF-like ligand 1 (TL1A) is not well understood. A group of researchers has investigated the association of TL1A with HS, as well as its association with other cytokine networks.
Despite the availability of advanced therapeutic options, about 40%-50% of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa do not achieve significant improvement in disease activity, thus there is a need for novel medications.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic autoinflammatory condition affecting the skin, the genetic mechanisms of which are not well understood. A group of researchers set out to explore the genetic background of familial HS by performing whole-exome sequencing on genomic DNA from patients.
The U.S. FDA signaled during a Type B meeting that existing data could support a BLA filing for Moonlake Immunotherapeutics AG’s sonelokimab to treat the skin disease hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), despite one of two pivotal phase III trials missing the mark.
The data from Inflarx NV that took Wall Street by surprise also served to heighten attention for the hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) spaces, where other news has been bubbling lately on the industry as well as scientific fronts.
Bar what it described as a “placebo wobble,” Moonlake Therapeutics AG turned in positive results from the phase III trials of sonelokimab in treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), only to see its share price take a complete battering. The stock (Nasdaq:MLTX) fell 90%, or $55.75, to close Sept. 29 at $6.24, after the Zug Switzerland-based company published 16-week data from two identical trials, Vela-1 and Vela-2.
Already in the headlines plenty for their apparently broad set of benefits for patients, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists notched worth in yet another indication: hidradenitis suppurativa, the skin disease of interest to plenty of biopharma drug developers.
Investors wanted more from Incyte Corp.’s top-line results in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) from its pivotal phase III Stop-HS trial program with oral small-molecule JAK1 inhibitor povorcitinib in adults with moderate to severe disease. Shares of the Wilmington, Del.-based firm (NASDAQ:INCY) closed March 17 at $62.01, down $5.85, after the company made public that Stop-HS1 and Stop-HS2 met the primary endpoint at both tested doses (45 mg and 75 mg)
