People with T1D and CKD treated with sotagliflozin and insulin had similar lowering effects on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the primary endpoint, as people with T1D who do not have CKD
Sotagliflozin was associated with a lower to neutral risk of severe hypoglycemia and did not significantly increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) among a small number of DKA events
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LXRX#NASDAQ">LXRX</a>) today announced the peer-reviewed Journal of American Society of Nephrology (JASN) has published a research paper analyzing the efficacy and safety of sotagliflozin, a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, when added to insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The findings from the study, "Efficacy and Safety of Sotagliflozin in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes and CKD," concluded that people with T1D and CKD treated with sotagliflozin and insulin had similar lowering effects on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the primary endpoint of the underlying clinical trials, as T1D patients who do not have CKD. Further, the findings show that sotagliflozin was associated with a lower to neutral risk of severe hypoglycemia and did not significantly increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) among a small number of DKA events.
Researchers used data from the 52-week pooled inTandem1 and 2 trials and the 24-week inTandem3 trial to assess the effects of sotagliflozin (200mg [inTandem 1&amp;2 only] or 400mg daily) versus placebo on HbA1c (primary endpoint), body weight, systolic blood pressure (BP), insulin dose, and safety endpoints including adjudicated severe hypoglycemia and DKA, in each case stratified by CKD.
Of the 1,575 patients in the inTandem1 and 2 trials, 237 patients were identified who had CKD. Of the 1,402 patients in the inTandem3 trial, 228 patients were identified who had CKD.
At week 24, significant, placebo-adjusted reductions in HbA1c were observed in inTandem1 and 2: Non-CKD subgroup (sotagliflozin 200mg: -0.4%, 95% CI -0.4 to -0.3; 400mg: -0.4%, 95% CI -0.5 to -0.3) and CKD subgroup (sotagliflozin 200mg: -0.4%, 95% CI -0.6 to -0.1; 400mg: -0.3%, 95% CI -0.5 to -0.1). For systolic BP, there was a significant placebo-adjusted reduction at week 24 with sotagliflozin in the non-CKD subgroup but no effect in the CKD subgroup in inTandem1 and 2. At week 52, the incidence of severe hypoglycemia was lower with sotagliflozin (7% on 200 mg and 4% on 400 mg) compared to placebo (17%) in the CKD subgroup of inTandem1 and 2, whereas the incidence of severe hypoglycemia was 5-6% across both sotagliflozin and placebo non-CKD subgroups. The incidence of adjudicated DKA at week 52 in inTandem 1 and 2 was 1%, 5%, and 3%, respectively, for the placebo, 200 mg, and 400 mg doses in the CKD subgroup, compared to 0%, 3%, and 4% in the non-CKD subgroup.
Results were generally similar in inTandem3 except systolic BP was significantly reduced with sotagliflozin versus placebo in CKD and non-CKD subgroups.

Investigational New Drug (IND) application planned in 2025 for LX9851, a&nbsp;first-in-class, potent, selective, orally bioavailable molecule, as an anti-obesity agent
Data from Lexicon's Obesity Week presentations&nbsp;summarize the preclinical efficacy and mechanism of action of&nbsp;LX9851
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LXRX#NASDAQ">LXRX</a>) today announced it will present data from two studies related to LX9851, its investigational compound for obesity and weight loss, at Obesity Week 2024, November 3-5, 2024, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Preclinical in vivo efficacy data from the first study showed that treatment with LX9851 resulted in significant reductions in weight, food intake and fat mass in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. Among other important findings, LX9851 mitigated weight regain following discontinuation of the GLP-1 analogue semaglutide. This study ("First-in-Class ACSL5i LX9851 Enhances and Maintains Semaglutide-Promoted Weight Loss in DIO Mice") investigated the body-weight reduction and weight maintenance effects of Lexicon's first-in-class small molecule ACSL5 inhibitor, as a monotherapy and in combination with semaglutide, in a DIO mouse model. On Day 28, fat and lean body mass were measured by DEXA (OsteoSys body analyzer). All treatments with LX9851 resulted in a reduction in fat mass compared to vehicle control. The greatest weight reduction with no significant effect on lean body mass was observed when LX9851 was combined with semaglutide. The combination therapy also resulted in additive positive effects on liver steatosis and related study end points.

Why Charter Communications Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 11%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

On Thursday, Lexicon Pharmaceuticals Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LXRX#NASDAQ">LXRX</a>)&nbsp;announced the outcome of the FDA&#8217;s Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee Meeting to review the company&#8217;s New Drug Application (NDA) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41667604/lexicon-announces-outcome-of-fda-advisory-committee-for-zynquista-sotagliflozin-as-an-adjunct-to-i" rel="noreferrer noopener">for Zynquista (sotagliflozin)</a>.
The company is seeking approval for the oral SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitor as an adjunct to insulin therapy for glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The Advisory Committee voted 11 to 3 that the benefits of Zynquista do not outweigh the risks, as having an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)&nbsp;&gt;45 to &lt;60 mL/min.1.73 m2&nbsp;or eGFR&nbsp;&gt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2&nbsp;and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR)&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;30mg/g.&nbsp;
As part of the discussion, certain committee members expressed support for sotagliflozin in alternative sub-populations of people with T1D and CKD, where they believed the benefits potentially outweigh the risks.
As previously reported, the FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of Dec. 20.
The FDA approved Sotagliflozin, branded as Inpefa, in May 2023 to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visits in adults with heart failure or type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and other <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/23/05/g32603118/lexicon-announces-fda-approval-of-inpefa-sotagliflozin-for-treatment-of-heart-failure" rel="noreferrer noopener">cardiovascular risk factors</a>.
In 2019, the FDA issued a complete response letter (CRL) regarding the NDA for sotagliflozin for type 1 diabetes. Despite FDA rejection, the European Medicines Agency <a target="_blank" href="https://www.lexpharma.com/media-center/news/zynquista-now-approved-in-the-european-union-for-treatment-of-adults-with-type-1-diabetes" rel="noreferrer noopener">approved</a> the drug in April 2019, covering TID patients who could not achieve adequate glycemic control despite optimal insulin therapy.
In 2021, at Lexicon's request, the FDA issued a public Notice of Opportunity for Hearing (NOOH) on whether there were grounds for denying such approval.
Lexicon and FDA subsequently agreed in late 2023 to hold the NOOH proceedings in abeyance to discuss a path forward for resubmission and potential approval of the NDA.
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals resubmitted its NDA for sotagliflozin in June. The company anticipated a six-month review and a potential <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/06/g39430661/lexicon-pharmaceuticals-resubmits-sotagliflozin-nda-for-type-1-diabetes" rel="noreferrer noopener">launch in early 2025</a>.
Also, in 2019, after four years of collaboration, Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.lexpharma.com/media-center/news/lexicon-pharmaceuticals-announces-termination-of-alliance-and-settlement-with-sanofi" rel="noreferrer noopener">terminated</a> the sotagliflozin-related agreement and paid Lexicon Pharmaceuticals $260 million.
Two weeks ago, Viatris Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>) obtained an exclusive license from Lexicon to commercialize sotagliflozin in all indications outside of the U.S. and Europe. Lexicon retains sole commercialization rights for sotagliflozin in all indications in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41368750/lexicon-announces-exclusive-licensing-agreement-with-viatris-for-sotagliflozin-in-all-markets-outs" rel="noreferrer noopener">the U.S. and Europe</a>.
Price Action: LXRX stock is down 38.46% at $1.22 during the premarket session at last check Friday.

Needham Reiterates Hold on Lexicon Pharmaceuticals

The Advisory Committee voted 11 to 3 that the benefits of Zynquista do not outweigh the risks in adults with T1D and CKD, as defined in the voting question as having estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) &gt;45 to &lt;60 mL/min.1.73 m2 or eGFR &gt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) &gt; 30mg/g. As part of the discussion, certain committee members expressed support for sotagliflozin in alternative sub-populations of people with T1D and CKD, where they believed the benefits potentially outweigh the risks.
"We are disappointed in the outcome of today's Advisory Committee vote. However, we were encouraged by the rich discussion and outpouring of support across the diabetes community in favor of sotagliflozin being made available to appropriate people with T1D and CKD," said Dr. Mike Exton, chief executive officer and director of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals. "It's clear from today's discussion that an FDA-approved treatment and clear education on managing risk is urgently needed, and we believe our data supports this need. We look forward to working with the FDA as it completes its review of our NDA, and if approved, making Zynquista available to patients who could benefit from this therapy."
