| Item8.01 | Other Events |
On February 21, 2017, the Company reported results from its Phase
2 clinical trial of CD101 topical, called the RADIANT study,
which was designed to evaluate gel and ointment topical
formulations of CD101 in women with moderate-to-severe acute
vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
The RADIANT study was a multicenter, randomized, open-label,
active-controlled, dose-ranging trial that enrolled 125 patients
into three treatment cohorts. In the first cohort, 50 patients
were treated with CD101 gel; a second cohort of 50 patients was
treated with CD101 ointment. The third cohort comprised 25
patients treated with oral fluconazole.
The study found that while the gel and ointment topical
formulations of CD101 were well tolerated, both formulations were
similar in efficacy to each other but lower in clinical and
mycological cure rates compared to oral fluconazole. As a result,
the Company has discontinued the CD101 topical development
program for VVC.
