Article - Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc (OTCMKTS:IPIX) Continues Recovery Off of Annual Lows
Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc (OTCMKTS:IPIX) (formerly CTIX) is a newcomer to Street Register, and as such, we’d like to take a quick opportunity to describe the company’s primary business focus.
Innovation is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies in multiple diseases. The Company believes it has a world-class portfolio of first-in-class lead drug candidates and is now advancing them toward market approval, while actively seeking strategic partnerships. The company officially changed its name early last month from Cellceutix Corp. to better reflect the company’s core mission.
Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc (OTCMKTS:IPIX) announced this week that a majority of patients treated with Brilacidin achieved Clinical Remission in its Phase 2, open-label, Proof-of-Concept (PoC) clinical trial evaluating Brilacidin for two types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Brilacidin is being developed as a novel, non-corticosteroid, non-biologic treatment, with formulation development plans including oral tablets for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease and foam and/or gel for the treatment of Ulcerative Proctitis / Ulcerative
Improvement in Quality-of-Life, using the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ), was reported with more than 60 percent of patients in each cohort achieving a ≥10-point or more improvement after six weeks of treatment. At least half of patients in Cohorts B and C also showed ≥20-point or more improvement.
Brilacidin for UP/UPS also was shown to be generally well-tolerated, with no Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) experienced by patients, which is consistent with the low levels of systemic absorption of Brilacidin observed in the trial.
The Company has presented detailed topline results from the Brilacidin-UP/UPS trial, as well as information on the ongoing Brilacidin Phase 2 trial in the treatment of Oral Mucositis, at the Drug Discovery & Therapy World Congress in Boston, MA. Industry professionals and company officers also offered comments:
“As a practicing gastroenterologist, it’s extremely exciting to see Brilacidin’s emergence as a possible novel treatment for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Brilacidin’s unique mechanism of action and compelling clinical trial results support its potential,” said Francis A. Farraye, MD, MSc, Clinical Director, Section of Gastroenterology at Boston Medical Center, Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and Scientific Advisor to Innovation Pharmaceuticals. “There exists a large unmet medical need in treating patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease given its complex pathogenesis and high degree of variability in how patients respond to a given treatment. I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Innovation Pharmaceuticals team as they advance Brilacidin in the treatment of IBD.”
Arthur P. Bertolino, MD, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Medical Officer at Innovation Pharmaceuticals, commented: “We are incredibly pleased with the successful completion of this trial and the dataset that we now have in-hand. To see such strong results with a basic formulation adds further credibility to where we believe we can take Brilacidin in treating the full continuum of IBD, particularly when optimally formulated and administered. Combined with the Brilacidin data for treating Oral Mucositis as a preventative medicine, we now have two solid anchors supporting Brilacidin’s considerable and diverse therapeutic potential.” (Source: Globe Newswire)
To the layperson, the information above could be rather confusing, so to put it into simpler terms, this is a company with promising treatments in its pipeline, as well as a stock whose shares are presently on the incline. We’ll want to track this story moving forward.
