Parasite elimination achieved with 28-day treatment in 100% of nonhuman primates (NHPs) naturally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) at target exposures planned in humans
Phase 1 First-In-Human (FIH) study showed favorable safety and tolerability profile; no dose-limiting toxicities
Significant U.S. commercial opportunity, including Priority Review Voucher eligibility upon approval
AN2 Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANTX) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel small molecule therapeutics derived from its boron chemistry platform, today announced positive results from two studies evaluating the Company's oral CPSF3 inhibitor, AN2-502998, for the treatment of chronic Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) caused by infection with the parasite T. cruzi.
Key findings from the two studies:
- In NHPs with naturally acquired, chronic T. cruzi parasite infection, 28 days of AN2-502998 treatment resulted in 100% parasitic elimination at target exposures attainable in humans, through four months following the end of treatment.
- In the Phase 1 FIH study, AN2-502998 was generally well tolerated at exposure levels consistent with NHP efficacy thresholds, with no dose-limiting toxicities.
