JDP Successfully Completes Its Initial Phase 3 Clinical Trial of JDP-205 in Patients with Acute Urticaria Associated with an Acute Allergic Reaction
BLUE BELL, PENNSYLVANIA (PRWEB) January 08, 2015 -- JDP Therapeutics Inc., a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company, is pleased to announce that the Company has successfully completed the initial Phase 3 clinical trial (ETTAU-02) on its lead candidate JDP-205 in patients with acute urticaria associated with an acute allergic reaction. The result of this study has met and/or outperformed every parameter designed for this trial.
The successful completion of the ETTAU-02 trial represents the achievement of a major milestone for the Company. JDP-205 has been tested extensively in several clinical trials to study its pharmacokinetics, tolerability, safety, and efficacy. This initial phase 3 clinical is a multi-sites, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and market advantages of JDP-205 in patients with acute urticaria associated with an acute allergic reaction (“Acute Urticaria”). To optimize the study process, the company focused on hospital emergency departments as the enrollment sites.
“We are very pleased with the outcome and the conduct of the ETTAU-02 trial (primary and secondary endpoints). Our collaboration with various clinical sites at hospitals and clinics has been productive, and it provided a valuable experience for our next pivotal phase 3 trial. We are also pleased with our interactions with the FDA and Health Canada on the design of this initial phase 3 clinical trial for JDP-205”, said Dr. Jie Du, President and CEO of the Company. “The outcome measure of the study confirmed the efficacy as measured by the Acute Urticaria symptom reduction scores and also confirmed its safety parameters and market advantages. We look forward to continuously working with the FDA on the next larger phase 3 clinical trial to enable a successful future filing of an NDA.”
About JDP-205
JDP-205 is a proprietary injectable product being developed for the treatment of acute allergic reactions for the hospital market. A market QUANT study surveyed 110 physicians, and revealed that 86% of responding doctors had indicated readiness to use JDP-205 in place of the current therapy when the product is approved by the FDA. A second independent market research study with in-depth clinician interviews confirmed the findings.
Acute allergic reaction is a serious condition, potentially life-threatening, and has been growing at concerning rates with very limited selections of medications for treatment. JDP-205 will offer an alternative and superior treatment to the current therapy for the first time in nearly 60 years. JDP-205 is projected to have a significant commercial opportunity with its peak annual sales in the range of ~$300MM.
