– Alphyn Biologics Completes First Cohort of Phase 2a Clinical Trial of a Therapeutic Topical Treatment for Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Alphyn Biologics, a clinical-stage dermatology company developing world-class multi-target therapies, announced today that it has completed the first cohort of its Phase 2a clinical trial of AB- 101a, a topical therapeutic candidate for patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults and children from 2 years of age. The first cohort enrolled AD patients without bacterial infection, which is sometimes associated with the disease. Top-line results are expected in about eight weeks.
The randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trial is evaluating the AB-101a treatment protocol at multiple sites using standard scales to assess AD. Enrollment is ongoing in a second cohort of the trial, which is solely investigating treatment in AD patients who also have bacterial infections, including Staphylococcus aureus, or Staph, and MRSA, the antibiotic-resistant Staph. Alphyn anticipates that AB-101a will be effective against both uninfected AD and infected AD and hopes that it will offer patients and physicians a comprehensive, safe and convenient treatment option.
AB-101a was developed using Alphyn’s proprietary AB-101 platform. The platform has multiple bioactive compounds and thus multiple mechanisms of action to potentially address multiple problems of any target disease. Alphyn began its Phase 2 clinical trial program due to the strong safety profile of its AB-101 platform.
