Sumitomo Pharma and Poxel Announce Topline Results from Post-Marketing Clinical Study on TWYMEEG for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Japan Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. and POXEL SA announced topline results obtained from a post-marketing clinical study, TWINKLE (TWYMEEG in diabetic patients with renal impairment: A post-marketing long-term study) (“the Study”), in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with renal impairment for TWYMEEG Tablets 500 mg (generic name: imeglimin hydrochloride, “the Drug”) being sold in Japan, based on the Risk Management Plan. The Study was an open-label, uncontrolled, long-term study in 60 Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with renal impairment, who had no experience of type 2 diabetes treatment other than diet and exercise therapy or insufficient glycemic management in monotherapy with a hypoglycemic agent excluding insulin formulation. The Drugwas administered at 500 mg twice-daily to patients with moderate and severe renal impairment, characterized by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or higher to less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, or at 500 mg once-daily to patients with end-stage renal disease, characterized by an eGFR less than 15 mL/min/1.73m2, in monotherapy or in combination therapy with a hypoglycemic agent excluding insulin formulation, to evaluate safety and tolerability when administered orally for 52 weeks. The Drug was observed to be safe and well tolerated in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with renal impairment and no significant differences were found in the incidence of adverse events, their types and severities in this study from previous clinical studies. Specifically, most of the adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. The incidence of serious adverse events was 16.7% (10 of 60 subjects) and causality with the Drug could be ruled out in all cases. Incidence of adverse events leading to study treatment discontinuation was also limited (4 of 60 subjects). At present, administration of the Drug is not recommended for patients with renal impairment with eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2. Based on the results of the Study, Sumitomo Pharma is planning to conduct discussions with the regulatory authorities in Japan, on revising the package insert in fiscal 20241 for patients with renal impairment with eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2.

Sumitomo Pharma Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase 3 Clinical Studies Evaluating Vibegron in Men with Overactive Bladder Symptoms Receiving Pharmacological Therapy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. companies, Sumitomo Pharma America Inc. (SMPA) and Sumitomo Pharma Switzerland (SMPS), announced that the Phase 3 UO-901-3005 clinical study of vibegron (GEMTESA®?), a beta-3 adrenergic receptor (b3) agonist, dosed once-daily (75 mg), which is being investigated in men with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms receiving pharmacological therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), met its co-primary endpoints at Week 12 compared to placebo. The co-primary endpoints include both change from baseline in the average number of micturition (urination) episodes per day and change from baseline in The average number of urgency episodes (the sudden urge to urinate that is difficult to control) per day. U.S., GEMTESA (vibegron) has been indicated for the treatment of OAB with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency in adults since April 2021. GEMTESA works by selectively targeting b3 adrenergic receptors to reduce OAB symptoms through the relaxation of the bladder detrusor muscle to increase capacity. In China, vibegron is currently under investigation in a Phase 3 clinical study for the treatment of OAB. Overactive bladder (OAB) is a clinical condition that occurs when the bladder muscle contracts invol voluntarily. Symptoms may include urinary urgency (the sudden urge to urinating that is difficult to control), urgency incontinence (un intentional loss of urine immediately after an urgent need to urinate), and frequent urination (usually eight or more times in 24 hours). Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in men in which the prostate gland is enlarged. About 60% of men with BPH are treated for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). LUTS can be divided into storage, voiding, and postmicturition symptoms. Over half of men with BPH report storage symptoms and about a quarter report voiding symptoms. This suggests that many men with a diagnosis of BPH may have overactive bladder. Many men who are treated for symptoms are assumed to have an obstruction in the bladder caused by an enlarged prostate.3,4 About half of all men between ages 51 and 60 have BPH and up to 90% of men over age 80 are living with the condition.

Naturally occurring protein is a linear polymer of 20 amino acids and their derivatives, which folds into a tertial structure through internal complex atomic interactions to show biological function. Proteins have evolved to biologically functional molecules over hundreds of millions of years. The relationship between protein sequence, structure, and function in those highly crafted molecules remains poorly understood to rationally design a protein sequence for a particular function. AI engine is trained with sequence-function relationship data to statistically predict sequences for an evolved protein function. Furthermore, aiProtein® can evolve more than two functions simultaneously. This technology is a powerful and cost-effective tool for the creation of novel and highly-optimized proteins for pharmaceutical and industrial uses. ght of first refusal to an exclusive license of the molecules.

Sumitomo Pharma Oncology, Inc. Presents Updated Preliminary Data from Phase 1/2 Clinical Study Evaluating Investigational Agent TP-3654 in Patients with Myelofibrosis at European Hematology Association 2023 Hybrid Congress Sumitomo Pharma Oncology Inc. presented updated preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study evaluating TP-3654, an investigational selective oral PIM1 kinase inhibitor, in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) previously treated with or ineligible for JAK inhibitor therapy. Initial preliminary data was presented at American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition 2022. Updated results were presented in a poster presentation at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2023 Hybrid Congress, being held June 8-11, 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany as well as virtually on the Congress platform from June 8-11, 2023. Preliminary data of TP-3654 monotherapy in relapsed/refractory myelofibrosis (MF) patients showed spleen volume reduction (SVR), and total symptom score (TSS) improvement.1 Further, TP-3654 may prompt early cytokine changes that may correlate with symptoms response. As of February 9, 2023, 15 patients were enrolled across 5 dose levels from 480mg QD to 720 mg BID. The results showed SVR observed in 7 of 10 evaluable patients treated for = 12 weeks. TSS improvements were observed in 9 of 10 evaluable patients. Broad reductions in cytokines were observed after TP-3654 treatment. At week 12 analysis, patients with higher cytokine reductions correlated with higher TSS improvement. BM fibrosis reduction from grade 3 to 2 was seen in one patient who also achieved spleen and symptoms responses and showed reductions in MF associated cytokines: IL6 (68%), IL12p40 (83%), MMP9 (56%), and EN-RAGE (68%), and is on active treatment for more than 18 months.1 Overall, TP-3654 appears to be well tolerated with no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observed to date. The most common adverse events are Grade 1 and 2 diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Reported Earnings • May 17

A
response was defined as a menstrual blood loss volume of less than 80 mL and a 50% or greater reduction from baseline in menstrual blood loss volume during the last 35 days of treatment measured using the alkaline hematin method. Women receiving MYFEMBREE experienced reductions of 82.0% and 84.3% in menstrual blood loss from baselines, respectively (both p < 0.0001 compared to placebo). Adverse reactions occurring in at least 3% of women treated with MYFEMBREE and at a greater incidence than placebo were hot flush, abnormal uterine bleeding, alopecia, and decreased libido.

Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Co., Ltd Announces That They Will Initiate A Phase 1 Clinical Study of Dsp-0038 in the United States for the Treatment of Alzheimer’S Disease Psychosis Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Co., Ltd. has announced that they will initiate a Phase 1 clinical study of DSP-0038 in the United States for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease psychosis. DSP-0038 is the third molecule created using Exscientia’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enter clinical trials. The two earlier compounds are DSP-1181, announced in 2020 together with Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Exscientia’s immuno-oncology agent, EXS-21546, announced earlier this year. Joint research between Exscientia and Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma designed DSP-0038 to be a single small molecule that exhibits high potency as an antagonist for the 5-HT2A receptor and agonist for the 5-HT1A receptor, whilst selectively avoiding similar receptors and unwanted targets, such as the dopamine D2 receptor. Selective dual targeting is a major challenge for conventional drug discovery, and psychiatric indications also require exceptional selectivity to avoid off-target effects. The successful design of DSP-0038 demonstrates opportunities to design selective molecules with dual activity. DSP-0038 will be assessed for improved antipsychotic effects associated with Alzheimer’s disease psychosis, as well as improvements in behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia which include agitation, aggression, anxiety, and depression.
