ExonHit looking to partner novel AD drug
French RNA specialist company ExonHit Therapeutics has completed patient enrolment for its Phase IIa trial assessing its lead compound EHT 0202 in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled approximately 150 patients with mild-to-moderate AD. The effect of either 40mg or 80mg of EHT 0202 as adjunctive therapy to an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor will be evaluated in comparison to placebo over a three-month period. Study results will be available in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Loic Maurel, president of ExonHit, said: "our strategy is to bring EHT 0202 up to the end of the ongoing study and then to look for a partner to move EHT 0202 through further clinical development. We have already met with several pharmaceutical companies that are looking forward to the Phase IIa results."
