Fast Track Designation highlights potential of ATH434 to address high unmet need for individuals with MSA –
Alterity Therapeutics ((ASX: ATH, NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATHE#NASDAQ">ATHE</a>) ("Alterity" or "the Company"), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing disease modifying treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced&nbsp;that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration&nbsp;(FDA) has granted Fast Track designation for ATH434 for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). This designation is intended to accelerate the development and review of novel investigational products such as ATH434 and recognizes its potential as an innovative approach to address the high unmet need for treating MSA, a disease with no approved therapy.
"Receiving the FDA's Fast Track Designation for ATH434, alongside the Orphan Drug Designation we have already received, underscores the promise of this novel agent to address the urgent need for a disease modifying therapy for individuals with MSA," said, David Stamler, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alterity. "This designation reinforces the potential of ATH434 as demonstrated by recent scientific findings related to its mechanism of action and the robust and clinically meaningful efficacy from our double-blind Phase 2 clinical trial. Importantly, the Fast Track designation provides us the opportunity to interact with the FDA more frequently on the advancement of ATH434, potentially accelerating its development path and approval.&nbsp;We look forward to leveraging the Fast Track designation to bring this promising treatment to patients as quickly as possible."
About FDA Fast Track Designation The Fast Track Designation is intended to facilitate and expedite the development and review of new drugs for serious conditions with unmet medical needs, such as MSA. Fast Track designation for a drug candidate confers some or all of the following benefits:
<ul>
<li>Eligibility for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, if relevant criteria are met</li>
<li>Opportunities for more frequent and early communication with the FDA throughout the development process</li>
<li>Rolling review for the future New Drug Application (NDA) that allows the FDA to begin reviewing sections of an application as they are completed, rather than waiting for the full application. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Fast Track eligibility requires demonstration of the potential for clinically meaningful benefits, which can include the mechanism of action, preclinical studies, or data from patient studies. Alterity's previous interactions with the FDA indicated that the modified Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) Part I scale is considered a clinically meaningful endpoint for MSA. Alterity's Fast Track application included <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=AVJr6dRYvWxgJaVzHaXt6n5btyZK5tV-2NBu9uCngJU1KefIsO96YuZVriP6JO1ZNOioy-CFm6RT9jMmFdsHguBqyemANNxfzk9pDJS2cyGtk8VSHjsJ06yq3a6uYw2nzBNNL8DsL1vNjTPpHasLmwXaeLMxmzcR00vMinc7NywtUI46D3JYUT2UaKpUwsE3jSdRU0xoT4YJDQV4QjNrnEJYEmKIVCtkgc54OuDy9CkT6OmMi5aXdLUxvJ1n8rzaOTzwGBCdqGqq0fPnx_xpn17GUT8ysYXOP7lm02yygZ1jf_LTc8XcgV01zaoKoEqpbFizz5EppPPCIhbHr-7O3V8wbFpYX4ZiunNsOGj31I-0BvqSkO8rg242Kpfr1em2d_goUU9bfzTgJJgH-JqUmg==">top-line data from the ATH434-201 randomized, double-blind Phase 2 clinical trial</a> which demonstrated efficacy on the modified UMSARS I in addition to preclinical data confirming that ATH434 is a low to moderate affinity iron chaperone.
About ATH434
Alterity's lead candidate, ATH434, is an oral agent designed to inhibit the aggregation of pathological proteins implicated in neurodegeneration. ATH434 has been shown preclinically to reduce α-synuclein pathology and preserve neuronal function by restoring normal iron balance in the brain in preclinical models. As an iron chaperone, it has excellent potential to treat Parkinson's disease as well as various Parkinsonian disorders such as Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). Phase 1 studies have demonstrated the agent is well tolerated and achieved brain levels comparable to efficacious levels in animal models of MSA. Positive results from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with MSA demonstrated robust clinical efficacy, target engagement on key biomarkers, and a favorable safety profile. A second Phase 2 open-label biomarker trial in patients with more advanced MSA is ongoing. ATH434 has been granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA, and Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. FDA and the European Commission for the treatment of MSA.
About ATH434-201 Phase 2 Clinical Trial
The ATH434-201 Phase 2 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation of 12 months treatment with ATH434 in patients with MSA. The study evaluated the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ATH434 as well as the effect of ATH434 on neuroimaging and protein biomarkers. Wearable sensors were employed to evaluate motor activities outside of the clinic. The study enrolled 77 adults who were randomly assigned to receive ATH434 50 mg or 75 mg twice daily or matching placebo. The data showed that, compared to placebo, ATH434 produced clinically and statistically significant improvement on the modified Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) Part&nbsp;I, a functional rating scale that assesses disability on activities of daily living affected in MSA. Additional efficacy assessments demonstrated improvement consistent with the positive UMSARS Part I findings including trends in improved motor performance on the Parkinson's Plus rating scale, the Clinical Global Impression of Severity Scale, and the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (a patient reported outcome). Wearable sensor data indicated that ATH434 also led to increased activity in an outpatient setting. Biomarkers were used to evaluate potential drug effect and target engagement relative to placebo. Both dose levels stabilized or reduced iron accumulation in MSA affected brain regions with trends in preservation of brain volume. ATH434 was well tolerated with similar adverse event rates compared to placebo and no serious adverse events attributed to ATH434.

Stardust Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDST#NASDAQ">SDST</a>) ("Stardust Power" or the "Company"), an American developer of battery-grade lithium products, is pleased to announce the execution of a key service agreement with Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&amp;E") to develop an electric substation on Stardust Power's site marking a significant milestone in the development of its proposed lithium refinery located within the Southside Industrial Park in Muskogee, Oklahoma. As part of the terms, the cost of engineering, procurement, and construction of the Stardust Power substation will be paid for by a long-term usage commitment by the Company at the facility.
This agreement allows OG&amp;E to further its electrical infrastructure and engineering work needed to supply long-term power to Stardust Power's proposed refinery. Once completed, the refinery will rank among one of the largest lithium refineries in North America. The project is set to play a vital role in strengthening a secure domestic supply chain for battery-grade lithium, an essential material for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, military technologies, and AI applications.
"This agreement reflects not only the incredible support we've received from our utility partners, but also the shared vision for making Oklahoma a national hub for energy infrastructure," said Roshan Pujari, Founder and CEO of Stardust Power. "Reliable and scalable electrical service is a cornerstone of our refinery's operations, and OG&amp;E's partnership ensures we'll have the necessary foundation to power this transformative facility as we build it out and operate it in the future."
The site currently has the capacity to provide construction power, but the new substation will provide operating power for the facility as well as future growth opportunities. Under the agreement, OG&amp;E will initiate site-specific engineering, design and procurement efforts to support the anticipated power load requirements of up to 40 megawatts. The work includes potential upgrades to regional transmission systems and preparation for high-capacity electrical service at the 66-acre site.
"This is a crucial step in bringing power to our site and advancing our project to the next phase," added Chris Celano, Chief Operations Officer, Stardust Power. "It's also a key move toward fulfilling our commitment to job creation and clean energy innovation in Muskogee and Oklahoma."
The refinery project is expected to generate hundreds of well-paying jobs and attract further investment to the region, supporting Oklahoma's growing leadership in clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and critical minerals processing. Stardust Power is working towards its Final Investment Decision ("FID") stage of the project, which when greenlit, will signal the start of detailed design and follow-on construction of the refinery.
