Spinifex Announces Start of Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept Trial of EMA401 in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Date:12/10/2012

nificant proportion of patients don't respond to current therapy and these treatments have dose-limiting side effects. As a result, EMA401 is being developed as a potential first-in-class oral treatment for chronic pain, including neuropathic pain, without central nervous system side effects.

Spinifex Pharmaceuticals CEO Tom McCarthy said: "Today's announcement marks another significant step in the development of EMA401 and for Spinifex. Our recent results for EMA401 in PHN served to highlight its potential as an entirely novel approach for the treatment of neuropathic pain. We look forward to completing this study in a second key indication and to moving EMA401 further towards being an important treatment for broader chronic and neuropathic pain indications."

Lead Investigator, Professor Praveen Anand, said: "The pain associated with CIPN can be extremely debilitating and may affect the quality of life of patients for years, even when the cancer is in remission. Further, CIPN symptoms are a major reason for cancer treatments to be reduced or stopped early. The use of an AT2 receptor antagonist as a treatment for neuropathic pain is a highly innovative approach and, in addition to the strong Phase 2 results already seen by the company, my own group has undertaken non-clinical work which is highly compelling. EMA401 could represent a valuable new option for patients in an area where there is a clear need for new medicines."

As described above EMA401 is an AT2 receptor antagonist. The discovery that AT2 receptor antagonists offer an innovative approach to the treatment of neuropathic and inflammatory pain was originally made by Professor Maree Smith at The University of Queensland. Having acquired the technology, Spinifex has conducted a comprehensive pre-clinical and early clinical development program on EMA401. Spinifex continues to conduct research into the role of the AT2 receptor in nociceptive, inf
