(Nasdaq: KZR), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel small molecule therapeutics to treat unmet needs in immune-mediated diseases, today announced that the Division of Hepatology and Nutrition of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has lifted the partial clinical hold on the completed PORTOLA Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating zetomipzomib, a first-in-class selective immunoproteasome inhibitor, in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We are pleased that the FDA has lifted the partial clinical hold on zetomipzomib in AIH after their review of our comprehensive safety assessment of the zetomipzomib program,\u201d said Chris Kirk, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Kezar. \u201cWe continue to believe that zetomipzomib has the potential to positively transform the lives of patients living with AIH. We look forward to engaging with the FDA to align on the design of the next clinical trial of zetomipzomib in AIH.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAlthough Kezar has suspended development of zetomipzomib in lupus nephritis (LN) to focus on AIH, the company met with the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) for the previously terminated PALIZADE clinical trial to review the safety profile of zetomipzomib. The IDMC has provided Kezar with recommendations for conducting future clinical trials in LN. Based on this feedback and internal analysis of safety data across all clinical studies involving zetomipzomib, Kezar plans to respond to the FDA Division of Rheumatology and Transplant Medicine with a request to lift the clinical hold on zetomipzomib in LN.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Zetomipzomib<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nZetomipzomib is a novel, first-in-class, selective immunoproteasome inhibitor with broad therapeutic potential across multiple autoimmune diseases. Preclinical research demonstrates that selective immunoproteasome inhibition results in a broad anti-inflammatory response in animal models of several autoimmune diseases, while avoiding immunosuppression. Data generated from completed clinical trials provide evidence that zetomipzomib exhibits a favorable safety and tolerability profile for development in severe, chronic autoimmune diseases.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Autoimmune Hepatitis<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAutoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the liver and causes inflammation and tissue damage, severely impacting patients\u2019 physical health and quality of life. Lifelong maintenance therapy is required to avoid relapse and burdensome adverse effects. If left untreated, AIH can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. In the United States, AIH affects approximately 100,000 individuals, with incidence rates increasing. The cause of this condition remains unclear, with females affected four times as often as males. Currently, standard of care treatment for AIH is chronic, immunosuppressive treatment with corticosteroids that frequently cause life-altering side effects, including diabetes, osteoporotic fractures and cataracts. There is a significant need for treatment regimens that reduce or remove the need for chronic immunosuppression from use of corticosteroids.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Kezar Life Sciences<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nKezar Life Sciences is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel small molecule therapeutics to treat unmet needs in immune-mediated diseases. Zetomipzomib, a selective immunoproteasome inhibitor, is currently being evaluated for autoimmune hepatitis. This product candidate also has the potential to address multiple chronic immune-mediated diseases.
