Cellix Biosciences Announces Regulatory Pathway Confirmation for CLX-106 in the U.S.

Cellix Biosciences Inc. today announced confirmation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway is appropriate for development of CLX-106 for treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

Cellix Biosciences Inc. (“Cellix Bio”), a development-stage pharmaceutical company, today announced confirmation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway is appropriate for development of CLX-106 for treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). CLX-106 is a novel molecular conjugate designed to deliver an optimal therapeutic profile of monomethyl fumarate (MMF) for RRMS. MMF is the active moiety of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), an approved RRMS therapy that achieved global sales of over $4 billion in 2016. A pre-clinical safety study and a clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) study will be conducted as expected; future clinical studies will be designed as suggested by the FDA in a recent pre-Investigational New Drug (pre-IND) meeting. Cellix Bio has engaged Camargo Pharmaceutical Services, LLC (“Camargo”) for regulatory consulting and strategic development services for CLX-106 in the United States.

Mahesh Kandula, CEO of Cellix Bio, stated, “We are excited with the responses we have received on our development plan from the FDA. With the FDA’s confirmation that the 505(b)(2) pathway is acceptable for CLX-106, we expect to have relatively lower drug development costs and a faster path to approval.”

Camargo is the global development and commercialization partner with a proven ability to help bring life-changing therapies to the market faster and more cost-effectively. “Camargo’s goal is to guide our clients in the most cost- and time-effective manner through the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, while driving commercial success for our client-partners,” said Ruth Stevens, Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President, Camargo Pharmaceutical Services. “We look forward to continuing work with Cellix Bio to advance its treatment for RRMS to benefit patients in need worldwide.”
