The Phase I trial is designed as a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intra-articular injection of Liraglutide (4P004). Thirty-four patients have been randomized in 3 sites in Belgium, EU.

About 4P004

4P004, a GLP1 analog, is a novel first-in-class drug candidate addressing a high unmet medical need. The purpose is to potentially change the natural course of osteoarthritis to prevent long-term disability. Furthermore, it demonstrates solid anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic properties by reducing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and degradation enzymes within joint tissues.

“This is an important step in our efforts to rapidly translate our drug candidate into a safe and effective therapy. 4P004 offers hope for preventing long-term disability and improving the patient’s life.” said Prof. Francis Berenbaum, Chief Medical Officer of 4Moving Biotech.

About LASARE Phase I clinical trial

LASARE is a Phase I clinical trial with 34 participants who received 4P004 or a placebo, with doses ranging from 0.3 mg to 3.0 mg.

This study consists of a single intra-articular injection into the target knee with osteoarthritis. The primary outcome is to investigate the safety and tolerability of 4P004. Monitoring of adverse events, vital signs, ECG, and laboratory results will span from Day 1 to Day 29.

“The achievement in patient recruitment for our Phase I brings us one step closer to our Phase IIB clinical trial, showcasing the commitment of the entire 4Moving Biotech team.” said Mathilde Mérot, 4Moving Biotech Director of Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Operations.

The Phase I clinical trial results are scheduled for Q1 2024.
