In addition, in February 2023, an adaptive Phase 2/3 study for Lupuzor™ in SLE/Lupus patients was agreed upon with US partner Avion Pharmaceuticals, following guidance from the FDA.

ImmuPharma has also confirmed a Type C meeting with the FDA for 7 June 2023, where the FDA will consider its new protocol of the Phase 2/3 adaptive study for Lupuzor™ in SLE patients. 

There is also a Pre-IND meeting confirmed with the FDA for 16 May 2023, where the FDA will hive feedback on the new protocol for the Phase 2/3 adaptive clinical trial for CIPD.

Tim McCarthy, ImmuPharma’s CEO, commented: “As a Board, we remain focused on bringing our two key late-stage clinical assets, Lupuzor™ for lupus and CIDP, closer to the market. We now have a clinical roadmap for Lupuzor™ and remain on track to commence the Phase 2/3 adaptive trial in H2 2023, with potential CIDP moving into clinical studies in parallel. This illustrates the potential franchise we have within our P140 autoimmune platform.”

The CEO added that the firm would remain focused on commercial and partnering opportunities while closely monitoring its cost base.
