    Dutch biotech scores €25M in small molecule bet to tackle lysosomal storage disorders

    While a host of biotech companies work on gene and enzyme replacement therapies for certain lysosomal storage disorders, a Dutch player is aiming to slot in its small molecule approach across a range of these rare inherited metabolic disorders.

    The company — Azafaros — founded in 2018 based on science developed from Leiden University and Amsterdam University Medical Center has secured €25 million in Series A financing as it works on shepherding its lead experimental drug into the clinic.

    The drug, dubbed AZ-3102, is designed to work via a dual mode of action — by diminishing metabolite accumulation and enhancing lysosomal function.

    There has been a lot of attention for gene therapy in lysosomal storage disorders — but some efforts have shown no benefit and there are some challenges such as the risk of immunogenicity, noted Azafaros chief Olivier Morand in an interview with Endpoints News. “But still, it obviously has a lot of potential.”

    Lysosomal storage disorders are inherited metabolic diseases characterized by an abnormal build-up of various toxic materials in the body’s cells as a result of enzyme deficiencies. Lysosomes are like the stomach of the cell, in charge of digesting complex components like proteins, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, or lipids and breaking them down into simpler units. When this process doesn’t occur, a sort of a traffic jam ensues — which can culminate in a reservoir of toxicity in different organs such as the liver, spleen, heart, kidney, skin, bones and brain.

    Altogether, there are roughly 50 such disorders — including Tay-Sachs, Fabry, Hunter and Sanfillipo — each characterized by different symptoms resulting from the toxic accumulation of a certain metabolite. For example, toxic accumulation in the brain can lead to developmental delays, seizures, respiratory infections, loss of vision and hearing, and cognitive function.

    “I think the recurrent notion is that these diseases are very complex and very severe,” Morand noted. “So having several treatment modalities and combining them may be the way to go for a solution.”

    In contrast to gene or enzyme replacement therapy developers, Azafaros’ small molecule effort has the potential for use across several indications, he added, without disclosing how long it will take AZ-3102 to be ready for clinical testing.

    The Series A round was led by Forbion, with participation from BioMedPartners and founding investor BioGeneration Ventures.

    Months ago, Merck shelled out up to $576 million to swallow Calporta, which has been working on small molecule agonists of TRPML1 — designed to restore calcium efflux and normalize lysosomal function — to treat lysosomal storage disorders, as well as neurodegenerative diseases.

    Meanwhile, Sangamo Therapeutics has tested its gene editing zinc finger technology in patients with two lysosomal storage diseases. Lentiviral gene therapy developer Avrobio also is in the early stages of assessing the potential of its technology across different lysosomal storage diseases.

    Wist er niets vanaf nou moet ik toegeven dat ik CSL behring niet veel volg.
    Interessant stukje over nieuwe technologieën en gen-therapie:

    The broad range of medicinal products administered for the treatment of HAE continues to expand and aids the prevention of HAE attacks predominantly. In particular, preclinical studies are being conducted with an additional two novel, potent and selective, orally administered kallikrein inhibitors [ATN-249 [9] and KVD900 [10]]. A series of macrocyclic analogs was designed and synthesized based on the cocrystal structure of the small-molecule plasma kallikrein (pKal) inhibitor 2, with the pKal protease domain. This led to the discovery of a potent, macrocyclic pKal inhibitor 29 [11], as well as a new program has been recently started to develop orally administered therapeutic agents for HAE [12]. Three new therapeutic targets have come into focus: prekallikrein, coagulation Factor XII, and the SERPING1 gene. IONIS-PKKRx, a single-stranded, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) was developed against plasma prekallikrein (PKK) and tested in the mouse. PKK ASO selectively reduced liver mRNA expression and plasma protein levels. The plasma level of cleaved, high-molecular-weight kininogen also decreased in correlation with the observed reduction in permeability [13]. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase I study, healthy volunteers treated with IONIS-PKKRx achieved dose-dependent reductions of PKK level. As FXII is the principal initiator of the plasma contact system, it has been postulated that the inhibition of FXIIa by an anti-FXIIa antibody might prevent the onset of HAE attacks. Animal studies conducted with a fully human recombinant antibody (3F7) in mouse and rabbit models confirmed this antibody as a specific and potent inhibitor of FXIIa. A 3F7 affinity-matured form, CSL312 – a fully human, IgG4 type recombinant monoclonal antibody binds to the catalytic site of FXIIa, blocking its proteolytic activity – was found to be a potent inhibitor of FXIIa-mediated kallikrein activity. CSL312 exhibited a long plasma half-life in Cynomolgus monkeys and prolonged the inhibition of FXIIa activity following administration of a single dose in a 36-day study. Specific, antibody-mediated inhibition of FXII protease activity reduced edema-formation in animal models and prevented the formation of bradykinin following contact activation in plasma samples from patients with C1-INH-HAE type I/II, HAE with normal C1-INH, or acquired angioedema [14]. A Phase I, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study is underway. ALN-F12 – a siRNA (double-stranded small interfering RNA) conjugated to an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligand – suppresses the synthesis of the FXII protein [15]. Animal studies have demonstrated the significant decrease of FXII mRNA level and a dose-dependent reduction of vascular permeability during treatment with this agent. In mice, the subcutaneous administration of a single dose inhibited FXII and the effect persisted for over 2 months [16]. The therapies introduced so far or still in the development pipeline are all symptomatic treatments and each requires repeated administration. Recently, an innovative, adeno-associated virus-mediated (AAV) gene therapy has been developed. In a novel murine model of HAE, a single administration of an AAV gene transfer vector coding for human C1-INH (AAVrh.10hC1EI) provided sustained circulating C1-INH levels and markedly reduced vascular permeability, which was demonstrated by analysis of the extravasation of intravenously injected Evans blue dye in multiple organs. The early results are encouraging; however, further development, as well as formal drug safety and toxicology studies, is necessary [17].

    Ik kwam nog een interessant artikel tegen uit begin 2019, dat in gaat op de marktontwikkeling in de HAE markt. Ik zal het later vandaag delen als ik er doorheen ben en wat meer over kan vertellen. Heb het hier volgens mij nog niet de revue zien passeren.

    Nieuwtje voor mezelf is dat CSL Behring ook bezig is met een nieuw profylaxe middel (CSL312), wat ik nog niet eerder wist. Is nu in Phase II, data verwacht eind dit jaar. www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03...
    Iemand die hier nog wat meer achtergrondinformatie over heeft?
    De amateur, Beur?

    Ik zal deze straks ook toevoegen aan het concurrentenoverzicht. Was er nog niet eerder op gewezen, niemand die hier van wist?
    Is tevens een directe concurrent voor Takhzyro: een monoclonaal antibody. Subcutane toediening slechts eens in de 2 a 3 weken.

    Ik krijg wel telkens meer waardering voor de LT-visie van die Kempen-analist.
    Alhoewel - als ik mezelf op de borst mag kloppen - al jaren terug haalde ik hier al meermalen aan dat Pharming in mijn ogen gewoon een nichespeler zal blijven :)
    En voordat allerlei figuren weer over zo'n uitspraak heen gaan duikelen: het kan best een gezonde niche player worden hoor. En als PE een succes mocht worden....

    Een bedrijf kan wel interessant zijn voor de toekomst.

    Zo vind je Pharvaris ook nog niet op de beurs, maar houd ze nauwlettend in de gaten. Als zij een succesvol middel ontwikkelen kan dit wel eens grote impact hebben op de HAE markt.

    Inderdaad, profiterende van concurrenten met problemen. Diversificeren is heel belangrijk maar dat duurt gewoon veel te lang.
    Eerst pre-eclampsie maar eens afwachten.

    Ik zie overigens wel dat Cinryze en Firazyr flink afgebouwd zijn. Ik ben benieuwd hoe dit terug te zien is in het gebruik van Ruconest wanneer gebruik Cinryze en Firazyr nihil geworden is.
