New study finds 60% of academic clinical trial results not shared
A new study conducted by Yale School of Medicine researchers revealed that about 60% of academic clinical trial results were not being shared after completion.
According to the study report, which was published in the British Medical Journal, less than 40% of results for clinical trials conducted at leading academic medical centres were shared within two years of completion.

Dilaforette and Bahrain’s AGU partner for Phase II trial of sevuparin to treat sickle cell disease
Swedish biotech firm Dilaforette and Bahrain-based Arabian Gulf University (AGU) were set to collaborate on a Phase II proof-of-concept trial of sevuparin in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) experiencing acute vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC).
Sevuparin is a polysaccharide drug candidate developed to treat VOC in SCD patients by normalising reduced blood flow.

UK MHRA approves clinical trial of JHL biosimilar to treat RA
The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved a Phase I clinical trial of JHL1101, a potential treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
JHL1101 is a rituximab biosimilar, which was developed and manufactured by a Taiwanese subsidiary of JHL Biotech.
The company was the first biotech firm from the Greater China region to receive European approval for a clinical trial of a monoclonal antibody biosimilar.
Around 150 patients with severe RA will be enrolled in the trial, which is designed to compare JHL1101 with its reference product, Roche’s MabThera.
The company seeks to show pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) similarity to Mather as well as the safety and efficacy of JH1101.
Atlantic Healthcare begins Phase III trial of alicaforsen to treat pouchitis
UK-based Atlantic Healthcare started enrolling patients in a Phase III trial of alicaforsen enema to treat pouchitis, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The Phase III trial will be the largest ever conducted for pouchitis, for which there are currently no approved treatments.
A total of 138 patients were enrolled at 40 clinical trial centres across the US, Canada, Europe and Israel, with results expected in the second half of next year. The trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of alicaforsen enema in patients with active, chronic, antibiotic refractory pouchitis.
Allena begins Phase II trial of ALLN-177 in patients with secondary hyperoxaluria
US-based Allena Pharmaceuticals started its 28-day Phase II trial of ALLN-177, an orally administered recombinant oxalate-degrading enzyme, and potential treatment for hyperoxaluria and kidney stones.
Hyperoxaluria results from high oxalate levels in urine, due to a genetic defect causing hyper-absorption or overproduction of oxalate by the liver.
The Phase II trial was designed to evaluate ALLN-177 in reducing urinary oxalate excretion in patients with secondary hyperoxaluria. ALLN-177 degrades oxalate in the gastrointestinal tract, which reduces the burden of dietary and endogenously produced oxalate.
ADC Therapeutics begins dosing in Phase I trial of ADCT-301 to treat AML
ADC Therapeutics (ADCT) started a Phase I trial of its lead antibody drug conjugate (ADC) ADCT-301, a potential treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
The trial was designed to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics and activity of ADCT-301 in patients with relapsed or refractory CD-25 positive AML.
ADCT-301 is composed of HuMax-TAC, a monoclonal antibody directed against the alpha chain of the IL-2 receptor (CD25) and conjugated to the company’s potent proprietary pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer.
Around 30 patients will be enroled in the initial dose escalation phase at ten clinical sites across the US.
This will determine the recommended dose of ADCT-301 for the second stage, which will be expanded with 30 additional patients in the UK and Europe.
Matinas begins enrolment in Phase IIa trial of MAT2203 to treat mucocutaneous candidiasis
Matinas BioPharma Holdings started enrolling patients in its Phase IIa trial of MAT2203, a potential treatment for refractory mucocutaneous candidiasis infection.
The trial was being conducted at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, US. Its principal investigator was Alexandra Freeman of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) laboratory for clinical infectious diseases.
MAT2203 is an orally administered, encochleated formulation of the broad spectrum fungicidal medication amphotericin B. The company’s lipid-crystal, nano-particle formulation of amphotericin B has a new absorption and distribution mechanism for treating infected tissues, and could potentially transform the way the fungicidal is administered.
MDA to support Catabasis in Part B MoveDMD clinical trial of CAT-1004 to treat DMD
Catabasis Pharmaceuticals collaborated with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) on its MoveDMD trial of CAT-1004, a potential treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
As part of the deal, MDA will provide transportation funding for patients travelling to participate in the trial.
The company reported positive top-line results for safety, tolerability and pharmacokineticsin from part A of the MoveDMD trial.
Juventas begins patient enrolment in Phase II gene therapy trial for peripheral artery disease
US-based biotechnology firm Juventas Therapeutics started enrolling patients in its Phase II trial (STOP-PAD) of JVS-100 to treat advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD).
JVS-100 is a gene therapy that encodes human stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1).
Around 120 patients were to be enrolled in the double-blind trial at about 25 US clinical centres.
