NOVEMBER 2, 2018
Jupiter, FL: Cytonics Corporation received feedback on the pre-clinical and clinical trial designs for their recombinant Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) drug product, Cyt-108. The FDA thoroughly reviewed Cytonics’ protocols over a 30 day period before providing guidance on the proposed toxicology, safety, and efficacy studies. Cytonics has commissioned an independent CRO to conduct a pilot study ahead of the pre-clinical trial to refine the study design. The company anticipates initiating pre-clinical trials by end of 2019.
“It is very important for us to stay in close communication with the FDA, and CBER in particular,
Joey Boseso ensure that our pre-clinical and clinical studies are comprehensive enough to warrant IND submission. We intend to modify our study protocols to reflect the FDA’s suggestions. Fortunately, the fundamental methodology of the trial does not need to change, we just need to add some additional toxicology studies to confirm that Cyt-108 does not remain in the blood in high concentrations.”
