Cynata Therapeutics Treated First Patient with CYP-001
Cynata Therapeutics announces first patient treated in phase 2 trial of CYP-001 in high-risk aGvHD
Cynata Therapeutics Limited, a clinical-stage biotechnology company specialising in cell therapeutics, confirms that the first patient has been enrolled and treated in its phase 2 clinical trial of CYP-001 in high-risk acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD).
CYP-001
CYP-001 is Cynata’s Cymerus off-the-shelf iPSC1 -derived MSC2 product candidate for intravenous infusion, which previously generated very encouraging safety and efficacy results in a phase 1 clinical trial in steroidresistant aGvHD.
The US FDA has cleared an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for CYP-001 and granted the product Orphan Drug Designation4 for the treatment of aGvHD.
About aGvHD
aGvHD is a potentially life-threatening complication of bone marrow transplants or similar procedures.
It arises when immune cells in the transplant (the graft) attack the recipient’s tissues (the host) as “foreign”.
In this trial, CYP-001 is being investigated as a potential immune modulating treatment for aGvHD.
Phase 2 Trial
This global phase 2 trial aims to enrol approximately 60 patients with high-risk aGvHD, who will be randomised to receive either steroids plus CYP-001, or steroids plus placebo.
The trial has been approved to commence in Australia, the USA and Turkey, and numerous clinical centres across those jurisdictions are now open for recruitment.
The first patient was enrolled in the USA.
Satement from CEO
Dr Kilian Kelly, Cynata’s chief executive officer, said: “The treatment of the first patient in this phase 2 trial marks a milestone moment in the clinical development journey of CYP-001 for aGVHD. We are continuing to open additional clinical centres, and we anticipate completion of enrolment by the end of this calendar year, with primary results available in the second half of 2025.”
