About Validive® (Clonidine Lauriad^®)
Validive® is a therapeutic application of clonidine based on the mucoadhesive technology Lauriad®. Onxeo’s proprietary Lauriad® technology significantly increases the mucous and salivary concentrations of the active ingredient it contains, with decreased systemic absorption.
As an agonist of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, Validive® exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, and was developed for the prevention and treatment of chemoradioation therapy-induced severe oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer. Preclinical studies and a Phase II trial have confirmed Validive’s mechanism of action and demonstrated that the therapy significantly reduces incidence of severe mucositis, improves oral mucositis-related symptoms and decreases radiotherapy-related adverse events, and exhibits a favorable safety profile and strong adherence to treatment. Based on these results, the trial Advisory Board approved a Phase III trial, which Onxeo plans to initiate by end 2015
Validive® was granted orphan drug status in Europe in November 2011 and also received Fast-Track status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2014.
