NG11-2 Phase-Ib Study Closes Enrolment – Results Expected Autumn 2024
A Phase-1b Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Effect of NG11-2 on Radiation Induced Oral Mucositis (RIOM) in Patients with Head & Neck Cancer.
01st July 2024 VasoDynamics Ltd, the pharmaceutical company developing patient-friendly therapies for the prevention of debilitating side-effects induced by anti-cancer treatments, has now finished patient enrolment into both the Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion phases of their Phase-1b study, which uses NG11-2 mouthwash prior to each fractional radiotherapy dose to reduce and prevent severe Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis (RIOM), a well-known and debilitating side-effect of radiotherapy on patients undergoing treatment for head & neck cancer.
A total of 15 patients with head and neck cancer have been successfully enrolled in this Phase-1b study with daily oral topical treatment of NG11-2 prior to each fractional radiation for up to 7 weeks. Following the Safety Committee’s assessment and agreement to use the highest dose in the Dose Expansion phase, a total of 9 patients have been enrolled and treated at this highest dose level.
The final patient visits for follow-up will take place over the summer with a view to close the study and report the final outcome in autumn this year.
Dr Ningfeng Fiona Li, CEO of VasoDynamics, said:
“We are delighted to announce the completion of enrolment in this important study and look forward to the final results later this year. The readout of this study will define the Recommended Phase 2 Dose for moving onto the next stage of clinical development of this exciting treatment. The VasoDynamics team would like to thank all the participating clinical sites for their excellent support to help meet this important milestone within the planned timeline.”
