OKYO Pharma to Complete Enrollment of Neuropathic Corneal Pain Trial by End of Second Quarter
LONDON and NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OKYO Pharma Limited (NASDAQ: OKYO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), a severe ocular condition without an FDA approved therapy, and for inflammatory dry eye disease (DED), a multi-billion-dollar market, today announces a clinical update and its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

Clinical Updates:

OK-101
Neuropathic Corneal Pain (NCP)

The Company anticipates completing enrollment of the 48-patient trial by the end of 2Q 2025 and releasing top-line data on the Phase 2a trial in 4Q 2025. Results from this trial are anticipated to be a major binary event for the Company.

During the past six months of 2024 the OKYO Pharma’s primary focus has been centered on preparations for and the initiation of the first clinical trial of a drug to treat NCP, with the announcement on 23 October, 2024 of the opening of a Phase 2a trial of OK-101 to treat NCP. The Phase 2a study is designed as a double-masked, randomized, 12-week placebo-controlled trial in NCP patients. A total of 48 patients are planned to be enrolled in the trial, with NCP disease confirmed via confocal microscopy, patient symptoms and medical histories.

OK-101, a novel, non-opioid therapeutic candidate, is designed to target and alleviate the debilitating pain associated with corneal nerve damage, a condition for which there are currently no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatments. Neuropathic corneal pain, often resulting from conditions like dry eye disease, surgery, or infections, can severely impact a patient’s quality of life, with current management options limited to pain relief strategies that offer only partial or temporary respite.

Earlier in the year, in February 2024, the Company announced that it was the first company to receive an investigational new drug (IND) application clearance by FDA to clinically evaluate a drug specifically to treat NCP with the clearance of the IND for OK-101.

The OK-101 trial is designed as a single-center trial and is being led by Pedram Hamrah, MD, of Tufts Medical Center, as Principal Investigator. Dr. Hamrah is Professor and Vice Chair of Research and Academic Programs, and Director of the Center for Translational Ocular Immunology at Tufts Medical Center. He is one of the world’s foremost experts on NCP and treats patients with ocular pain from across the United States and worldwide. His previous research has demonstrated safety and efficacy of various topical and systemic treatments for ocular pain and has led to the development of new diagnostic markers for ocular pain by in vivo confocal microscopy. In addition to his work on OK-101, of which he is a co-inventor and member of OKYO’s Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Hamrah is also conducting studies on developing new corneal nerve function tests and is a consultant to the company covering non-clinical studies of OK-101 to evaluate its mechanism of action.

Dry Eye Disease (DED)

In January of 2024, OKYO reported positive top line data from the Phase 2b trial of OK-101 to treat DED patients. This OK-101 first-in-human Phase 2b trial established a clear clinical path for potential further clinical development via a Phase 3 study design using FDA-recognized endpoints. OK-101 demonstrated statistically significant benefit in a “sign” endpoint, namely “total conjunctival staining” as measured by the Ora Calibra© Staining Scale as early as Day 29 (p = 0.034). OK-101 also improved at least two “symptom” endpoints of DED, including “burning/stinging” as measured by the Ora Calibra© 4-symptom questionnaire, and as measured by a visual analog scale as early as Day 15 (p = 0.04 and p=0.03, respectively), as well as “blurred vision”, with statistically significant improvement in blurred vision occurring by Day 29 (p = 0.01).

Of the 240 patients treated in the trial, treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were observed to be similar to the placebo-treated group. No severe drug related ocular TEAEs were seen. Possible drug-related TEAEs were observed in one patient in the OK-101 0.05% treatment group and 3 patients in the placebo-treated group, again highlighting the favourable safety profile of OK-101.

OKYO is planning to engage with the FDA on the next clinical plans for OK-101 to treat DED.

Financial Highlights:

Total assets of $2.8 million (31 March 2024: $1.5million)
Cash on hand of $1.0 million (31 March 2024: $0.8 million); post period end the Company received additional cash of $1.8 million.
During the financial period under review, the Company reported a total comprehensive loss of $3.1 million (compared to total comprehensive loss of $8.5 million for the six months ending September 30 2023)

About OK-101
OK-101 is a lipid conjugated chemerin peptide agonist of the ChemR23 G-protein coupled receptor which is typically found on immune cells of the eye responsible for the inflammatory response. OK-101 was developed using a membrane-anchored-peptide technology to produce a novel long-acting drug candidate for treating dry eye disease. OK-101 has been shown to produce anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing efficacy signals in mouse models of dry eye disease and corneal neuropathic pain (NCP), respectively, and is designed to combat washout through the inclusion of the lipid anchor built into the drug molecule to enhance the residence time of OK-101 within the ocular environment. OK-101 recently showed statistical significance in multiple endpoints in a recently completed Phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of OK-101 to treat DED.

OKYO Pharma Receives FDA Approval of IND for OK-101 in Neuropathic Corneal Pain
OK-101 is the first IND clearance granted by FDA for a drug to begin clinical studies specifically to treat patients suffering with neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), a major unmet medical need
The initial trial of OK-101 to treat NCP is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked Phase 2 clinical trial and is planned to begin in 2Q 2024
NCP is an Orphan disease as listed in the National Organization for Rare Disorders
LONDON and NEW YORK, Feb. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OKYO Pharma Limited (NASDAQ: OKYO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative ocular therapies for the treatment of inflammatory dry eye disease (DED), a multi-billion-dollar market, and for neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), an ocular condition associated with pain but without an FDA approved therapy, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared OK-101 as its first Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the treatment of NCP.

Notably, the initial IND submission to FDA proposed an open-label design for the clinical trial. Based on positive feedback from FDA, the Phase 2 study is now designed as a double-masked, randomized, 12-week placebo-controlled trial comparing OK-101 to placebo in NCP patients. A total of 54 patients are planned for the study, with NCP disease confirmed via confocal microscopy. The primary endpoint will be measured utilizing VAS pain relief scores. These protocol changes will enable a statistically valid demonstration of a true drug effect of OK-101 on NCP symptoms. OKYO Pharma is scheduling this trial to begin in Q2 2024.

The OK-101 trial, designed as a single-center trial, will be led by Pedram Hamrah, MD, of Tufts Medical Center, as Principal Investigator. Dr. Hamrah is Professor and Vice Chair of Research and Academic Programs, Co-Director of the Cornea Service and Director of the Center for Translational Ocular Immunology at Tufts Medical Center. An ophthalmologist and a clinician-scientist, Dr. Hamrah is a leading expert in NCP and co-inventor on the OK-101 patent. He is also a member of OKYO’s Scientific Advisory Board.

“I am very pleased that we have gained FDA IND clearance for the first drug to be tested for NCP, a debilitating disease,” said Dr. Hamrah. “Receiving the IND clearance in an important and novel indication was not a trivial hurdle to overcome. Now that the path has been opened for drugs to be tested in NCP, I am looking forward to working with the OKYO team to launch this important trial.”

“We are pleased to gain IND clearance for OK-101 to treat NCP as a second important disease target for the Company,” said Dr. Gary S. Jacob, CEO of OKYO. “OK-101 recently demonstrated favorable tolerability in a Phase 2 trial of dry eye patients along with statistically significant improvements in dry eye symptoms such as stinging/burning and blurred vision, which are also hallmarks of NCP. OK-101 was also shown in a cutting-edge mouse model of NCP to significantly reduce ocular neuropathic pain. We are looking forward to advancing OK-101 to potentially treat NCP, a chronically painful ocular disease with no FDA-approved therapy and a major unmet medical need for patients suffering from this condition.”
