“We are pleased with our progress in preparing our NDA submission for lumateperone for the treatment of schizophrenia. We remain on track and expect to complete our submission in mid-2018. We also continue to advance pre-commercial activities for lumateperone as well as our programs in bipolar depression and agitation in patients with dementia,” said Dr.
Corporate Update
Lumateperone Programs
- We had a pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA ) in late Q1 2018 and reached agreement on the timing and content of a rolling NDA submission for lumateperone for the treatment of schizophrenia. We expect to complete the NDA submission in mid-2018.
- We presented data on lumateperone at the
Schizophrenia International Research Society meeting (SIRS); our presentations included additional data from our open-label safety switching study for lumateperone in patients with stable schizophrenia and a review of our lumateperone schizophrenia program. We also presented supporting data for our lumateperone program in agitation in patients with dementia at the Advances in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Therapies Focus Meeting.
- We will present additional data on lumateperone and other development programs at several upcoming scientific and medical conferences, including the
American Psychiatric Association (APA), theSociety of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP), theAmerican Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology (ASCP), and theInternational College of Neuropsychopharmacology (CINP).
- We continue to progress our lumateperone bipolar depression Phase 3 clinical program. This program consists of two monotherapy studies and one adjunctive study. We anticipate top-line results from the first monotherapy study (Study 401, which is being conducted in
the United States ) will be available in 2H 2018 and the top-line results from our global monotherapy study (Study 404) will be available in 2019. Subject to the outcomes of these trials, we expect to submit an NDA for bipolar depression in 2H 2019. Our adjunctive study (Study 402), which is being conducted globally, is ongoing.
- Our lumateperone program in agitation associated with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, currently consists of one Phase 3 clinical trial and clinical conduct is ongoing. Subject to timely patient enrollment, we expect that the outcome of the interim analysis for this trial will be available in 2H 2018.
- We plan to initiate our late stage clinical program of lumateperone in depressive disorders in 2018.
ITI-214 (PDE1 inhibitor) Programs
| Parkinson’s Disease |
- In 2017, we initiated a Phase 1/2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple rising dose clinical trial to evaluate ITI-214, our PDE1 inhibitor, in patients with PD. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ITI-214 in patients with mild to moderate PD who are maintained on stable PD therapy. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of ITI-214 and explore its potential utility to control motor fluctuations and to evaluate treatment of non-motor symptoms (daytime sleepiness, dysautonomia) associated with PD. Biomarkers of disease progression (inflammation) will be assessed. Clinical conduct has been completed for the first three cohorts (1, 3, and 10 mg). At these doses, ITI-214 was safe and generally well tolerated. Based on this favorable safety and tolerability profile, the study has been expanded to include a 30 mg dose cohort and clinical conduct is ongoing. We anticipate top-line results from this trial will be available in 2H 2018.
- We presented preclinical and Phase I clinical data supporting the clinical development of ITI-214 in PD, including preclinical data showing ITI-214’s anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective effects at the Advances in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Therapies Focus Meeting and recently at the Annual Meeting of the
American Academy of Neurology .
| Heart Failure |
- In Q1 of 2018, the Investigational New Drug (IND) application went into effect for ITI-214 for the treatment of heart failure. Preparations are underway to initiate clinical conduct of the first clinical study in this program, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of escalating single doses of ITI-214 to evaluate safety and hemodynamic effects in patients with systolic heart failure.
ITI-333 Program
- ITI-333, our novel, oral modulator of serotonin, dopamine, and mu opiate receptors continues to advance in preclinical development. We plan to develop ITI-333 for the treatment of opioid and other substance use disorders, pain, and mood disorders. We expect to initiate clinical trials in 2019.
