Lastest Update
1/29/2018 - Innovation Pharmaceuticals Brilacidin Franchise Anchored in Three Clinical Indications — Oral Mucositis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Serious Skin Infections; Expands into Dermatologic Diseases
"A leading international drug manufacturer has been engaged with to bulk produce commercial-quality Brilacidin, aimed at lowering patient drug cost and anticipating future drug needs in preparation for expedient market introduction. This critical step also proactively facilitates future patient and insurance reimbursement adoption through favorable cost savings;"

1/3/2018 - Innovation Pharmaceuticals Brilacidin Meets Key Secondary Endpoint in Phase 2 Trial, Delays Onset of Severe Oral Mucositis (SOM)
"Onset of Severe Oral Mucositis: Based on Kaplan-Meier curves, Brilacidin-OM oral rinse showed a clear separation from placebo in delaying the onset of SOM—particularly the period from approximately 28-42 days, after the initiation of treatment, during which the incidence of SOM rose strikingly in the placebo group while not in the group being treated with Brilacidin."

Study Design
CTIX-BRI-205 is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Brilacidin as an oral rinse in preventing and controlling OM in patients receiving chemoradiation therapy for Head and Neck Cancer. The study is anticipated to enroll approximately 60 patients in the United States, 30 each to Brilacidin treatment or to placebo (water). Brilacidin (45 mg/15 ml oral rinse—“swish and spit”) is administered 3 times daily across 7 weeks (49 days). Pharmacokinetics of Brilacidin are to be evaluated if there is measurable systemic exposure (from drug concentrations in plasma).
The Brilacidin OM trial uses a World Health Organization (WHO) OM Grading Scale, a common measurement tool in assessing the presence and severity of OM, as defined below.
WHO Scale for OM
• Grade 0 = None
• Grade 1 = Erythema and Mouth Pain Soreness; no Ulceration/Pseudomembrane formation
• Grade 2 = Ulceration/Pseudomembrane formation; solid diet
• Grade 3 = Ulceration/Pseudomembrane formation; liquid diet
• Grade 4 = Ulceration/Pseudomembrane formation; not able to tolerate a solid or liquid diet (except enough liquid for medication)
About Oral Mucositis
Oral Mucositis (OM) is a frequent, painful and debilitating complication of chemoradiation commonly manifesting in the treatment of Head and Neck Cancer. Characterized by inflammation and ulceration, patients suffering from OM are often unable to speak or eat (requiring the insertion of a feeding tube) and are more susceptible to bacterial infections, with severe cases leading to hospitalization and increased treatment costs of up to $25,000. Affecting over 500,000 people in the United States, there currently are no approved medications for the prevention of OM in this population, with only limited palliative care options available. Worldwide, the potential market for OM is expected to exceed $1 billion in the next few years.

OM Market
"Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patients -- comprising an estimated 65,000 newly diagnosed cases in the U.S. alone in 2017, and an estimated 700,000 worldwide (source: GLOBOCAN) -- are at greatest risk of developing OM (a 90 to 100 percent rate of occurrence). By 2030, the global incidence of HNC cases is expected to exceed 1 million per year. Moreover, between 25 and 60 percent of cancer patients, regardless of cancer type, also will experience OM during the course of their chemo/radiotherapy.
Estimates vary as to the market size (in dollars) of an effective OM treatment, for HNC-only patients, across major markets (U.S., Europe and Japan), ranging between $500 million and $1.5 billion on an annual basis (sources: GlobalData; Redington Inc., pdf). One company in the OM space projects the worldwide OM market opportunity to be as high as $2.6 billion annually."

Amgen Kepivance (IV)
"In addition to a lower incidence of severe oral mucositis, patients receiving palifermin had almost one week less severe mucositis compared to those receiving placebo (10.4 days vs 3.7 days). Furthermore, palifermin-treated patients reported 60 percent less soreness of the mouth and throat, required lower doses of painkillers and less total parenteral nutrition use (11 percent versus 40 percent with placebo)."
http://www.amgen.com/media/news-releases/2003...-patients/
"The cost for Kepivance intravenous powder for injection 6.25 mg is around $14,401 for a supply of 6 powder for injection, depending on the pharmacy you visit."
https://www.drugs.com/price-guide/kepivance
Soligenix SGX942 (IV)
"n the 1.5 mg/kg treatment group, the median duration of severe oral mucositis was decreased by 50%, from 18 days to 9 days (p=0.099), meeting the prospectively defined statistical threshold of p<0.1 in the study protocol. Further, patients receiving the most aggressive CRT in this dose group had even more striking reductions in their median duration of severe oral mucositis of 67%, from 30 days to 10 days (p=0.040)."
http://www.soligenix.com/news/soligenix-annou...-patients/
Validive (applies to gum)
"The incidence of SOM (primary endpoint) was reduced by 26.3% (40% relative to placebo) in OPC patients treated with Validive (100 μg) (p=0.09)"

"Onxeo Grants Exclusive Worldwide License of Validive® developed for the treatment of oral severe mucositis to Monopar Therapeutics"
https://www.onxeo.com/onxeo-grants-exclusive-...rapeutics/
Izun IZN-6N4 (oral rinse)
"Not only did patients treated with IZN-6N4 have less mouth and throat pain and soreness than controls, but importantly, they were also more able to maintain their weights throughout the course of radiotherapy. The data supports that the best efficacy of IZN-6N4 was related to its initiation of use at the start of chemoradiation."
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/2017101...ts-Phase-2
Oragenics AG013 (oral rinse)
"Data from the Phase 1B trial published in the journal Cancer showed AG013 was safe, well tolerated, and demonstrated preliminary efficacy with a 35% reduction in the duration of ulcerative OM compared to placebo."
