Sensorion announces oral presentation at the European Histamine Research Society
May 17, 2019Presentation of an overview of SENS-111 development
MONTPELLIER, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:
Sensorion (FR0012596468 – ALSEN) a pioneering clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company which specializes in the development of novel
therapies to restore, treat and prevent inner ear diseases such as
hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo, will present a keynote plenary
lecture at the European Histamine Research Society in Kraków, Poland
from May 15-18th, 2019.
Contrary to typically sedative H1 receptor antagonist antihistamines
used in the management of vertigo, Seliforant (SENS-111) is a novel
first-in-class H4 receptor antagonist.
Sensorion will cover the translational development of Seliforant
starting from results of in vitro and in vivo preclinical models up
until the current proof-of-concept, clinical trial stage ongoing in AUV
patients (phase 2). This will include consistency between
pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships predicted from
preclinical models of severe vertigo and local target exposure
assessment in a phase 1b clinical trial, as well as confirmed lack of
sedation in the both the preclinical and clinical phase 2 setting.
The details of the oral presentation are as follows:
Session:
VII Scientific Session–Biologically active compounds
Title:
Translational development of Seliforant for the treatment of vertigo
Date
& Time: Friday, May 17th from 12:15 PM – 12:45 PM CEST
Location:
International Cultural Centre Rynek Główny 25, 31-008 Kraków
About Seliforant
Seliforant (formerly SENS-111) is the first
representative candidate of the histamine type 4 receptor antagonist
class to be tested for the symptomatic treatment of vertigo crises.
Displaying a neuromodulation effect of the sensorineural inner ear cell
function, Seliforant is a small molecule that can be taken orally or via
a standard injection, and is currently in a separate Phase 2 clinical
trial, being conducted in the United States, Europe, Israel and South
Korea.
