| ITEM8.01 | OTHER EVENTS |
On December12,
2016, the Company announced positive results from its Phase 2
open-label, dose-escalating clinical study to evaluate the safety
and preliminary efficacy of RT002 injectable for the treatment of
cervical dystonia. The topline interim data showed that RT002
injectable appeared to be generally safe and well-tolerated,
demonstrated median duration of 24 weeks, and displayed
clinically significant impact on cervical dystonia signs and
symptoms. The trial enrolled 37 subjects and follows three
sequential treatment cohorts for up to a total of 24 weeks after
treatment for each cohort. The trials first cohort of 12 subjects
received a single dose of up to 200 units of RT002 injectable,
the second cohort of 12 subjects received between 200 and 300
units, and the third cohort received from 300 to 450 units.
Later-enrolled subjects in the second and third cohorts have yet
to complete the trials 24-week protocol. Todays results are
therefore preliminary, with final results expected in the first
half of 2017.
Key interim
results of the cervical dystonia trial are as follows:
|
SAFETY: In all three cohorts, RT002 injectable appeared to be generally safe and well-tolerated. There were no serious adverse events and no dose-dependent increase in adverse events. The treatment-related adverse events were transient and mild to moderate in severity, except for one case of neck pain reported as severe, with a duration of 2 days. The most common adverse events were dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing (10.8%), injection site redness (8.1%), injection site pain (5.4%), muscle tightness (5.4%) and muscle weakness (5.4%). For reference, trials for botulinum type A products approved to treat cervical dystonia have adverse events for dysphagia ranging from 13% to 39%. |
|
EFFICACY: The trials 4-week primary efficacy measurement was the improvement in dystonia symptoms as determined by reduction from baseline on the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS)-Total score. RT002 injectable showed a clinically significant mean reduction of 16.9 from baseline, or 38%, across all three cohorts. In cohort one, with a mean dose of 174 units, the majority of the 44% reduction observed in the TWSTRS-Total score at Week 4 was preserved at Week 24, with a 33% mean reduction from baseline observed. Clinically meaningful mean reductions in the TWSTRS Severity, Disability and Pain subscales were consistent and observed at all follow-up visits in the first cohort. Later-enrolled subjects in the second and third cohorts have not yet reached the 24-week point. For reference, placebo-controlled trials with botulinum type A products approved to treat cervical dystonia had a reduction in the TWSTRS-Total score from baseline of 14% to 26% at Week 4. |
|
DURATION OF EFFECT: Duration of effect for this trial was defined as the number of weeks from treatment until the return of symptoms that warrant retreatment, based on the subjects target TWSTRS score. The median duration of effect was at least 24 weeks for subjects in cohort one (n=12), and at least 16 weeks for subjects in cohort two (n=11), using the complete 16 week follow up data. In cohort one, no subjects had returned to baseline at Week 24 and only one subject in cohort two, to date, has returned to baseline, which occurred at the Week 24 visit. In cohort one, RT002 achieved a median duration of at least 24 weeks based on three different assessments, including 1) the number of weeks from treatment until a subject reaches or exceeds their target TWSTRS-Total score, 2) improvement (score 0) on the Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGIC), and 3) TWSTRS-Total score return to baseline. For reference, current treatment of cervical dystonia calls for injection of botulinum toxin approximately every 3 months, or 4 times per year. |
The Company also
has recently enrolled patients in its Phase 3 SAKURA clinical
trial of RT002 injectable for the treatment of moderate to severe
glabellar lines in adults and initiated a Phase 2
placebo-controlled trial of RT002 injectable for the management
of plantar fasciitis. Results for both studies are expected in
2017.
