Share

UPPSALA, SWEDEN – LIDDS AB (publ) Phase IIb clinical data from the LPC-004 prostate cancer study on LIDDS Liproca® Depot were presented today in an oral session at the 11th European Multidisciplinary Congress on Urological Cancers, EMUC19. The study met both its primary and secondary endpoints as well as demonstrated that a larger proportion of intermediate risk patients, which is the Liproca Depot target group, are PSA responders. The presentation can be accessed through LIDDS webpage and are also attached to this release.

The phase IIb results from the LPC-004 prostate cancer study was presented as “Late Breaking News” at EMUC in Vienna on November 16, 2019 by Professor Laurence Klotz, a world leading expert in Active Surveillance of prostate cancer patients. Professor Klotz was one of the LPC-004 study investigators and is Professor at the University of Toronto Division of Urology at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Canada.

The preliminary data recently released from the phase IIb study, LPC-004, confirms that 90 % of patients receiving 16 ml intraprostatic injection of Liproca® Depot experienced a PSA reduction and also that 16 ml is the optimal dosage for future Phase III studies. Further, the study showed no systemic hormonal adverse reactions, that Liproca® Depot is safe and well tolerated by the patients, and that 84 % of patients being treated were amenable to a second injection of Liproca® Depot.

As LIDDS advances Liproca® Depot towards late-stage clinical development, LIDDS intends to target intermediate risk patients in its phase III trial. The LPC-004 study showed that a larger proportion of intermediate risk patients are PSA responders and that this group display a stronger mean PSA decrease compared to low risk patients.

– The results confirm that Liproca® Depot can offer a completely novel approach to complement active surveillance in intermediate risk prostate cancer patients. Liproca® Depot is well tolerated without the hormonal side effects associated with anti-androgen therapy, and is equally easy to administer as performing a prostate biopsy. Liproca® Depot treatment could contribute to the benefit of prostate cancer patients in the future, says Professor Laurence Klotz, a world leading expert and one of the study investigators and Professor at the University of Toronto Division of Urology.

– The results regarding the intermediate risk patients further validate the continued clinical development of Liproca® Depot. As announced recently, our licensing partner, Jiangxi Phuong, has decided to progress with the phase III trial in China and we will continue the commercial activities in order to sign further licensing agreements in other major markets, says Monica Wallter, CEO, LIDDS.

About the Phase IIb Liproca® Depot clinical trial
The single blind, two-part dose finding study aimed to determine the highest tolerable dose of Liproca® Depot in part I and to determine the level of PSA reduction for part II patients at month 5. The study was conducted at eight specialist urology clinics in Canada; Lithuania and Finland. The study involved 61 patients diagnosed with localized non-aggressive prostate cancer who were on Active Surveillance. Patients were followed for six months to assess response and tolerability.  Three previous clinical trials (LPC-001, LPC-002 and LPC-003) involved a total of 57 patients and showed promising results for tolerability and effect on tumor tissue, prostate volume and the PSA biomarker.

About prostate cancer and the market
Of the 1.2 million men diagnosed with prostate cancer globally each year, about 420,000 are assessed as intermediate risk and placed on ‘Active Surveillance’ where they are monitored regularly. There is no standard drug treatment for these cancer patients and many treating doctors see an unmet need.

According to market research firm GlobalData, the global market for prostate cancer drugs is expected to grow to USD 8.3 billion annually by 2023. Liproca® Depot’s target group is an untapped market potentially exceeding USD 3 billion per year.

About Liproca® Depot and NanoZolid®
NanoZolid® is a safe, flexible and functional method of delivering drugs. When injected, NanoZolid® forms a solid depot releasing the active drug over periods of potentially more than six months. As it releases its drug load, the NanoZolid® depot dissolves and is absorbed harmlessly into the body.
Liproca® Depot combines NanoZolid® and 2-HOF (2-hydroxyflutamide), a well-established antiprostate cancer drug. Liproca® Depot’s target group is patients under Active Surveillance (AS) with intermediate risk of cancer progression.

McWhorter Foundation Combats Nelson Peltz’s Outdated Ideologies and Advocates for Sustainable Inclusivity In Corporate Leadership29.3.2024 06:59:56 CET | Press release

PALM BEACH, Calif., March 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C.K. McWhorter, chairman of the McWhorter Foundation, voices concerns over outdated perspectives in corporate leadership, exemplified by recent remarks from Nelson Peltz regarding Disney's film direction. After encountering instances of racism and exclusivity on Town of Palm Beach Island (known as home to Jeffrey Epstein, Nelson Peltz and others), McWhorter reflects on the disconnect between elite boardroom discussions and the realities faced by diverse communities. While briefly meeting Nelson Peltz and shaking hands after both departed separate lunches, McWhorter initially respected his insights. However, recent comments made by Peltz suggesting Disney should avoid inclusive films have raised eyebrows and prompted McWhorter to speak out. "It's concerning when influential figures like Peltz advocate against inclusivity in entertainment," McWhorter comments. "The future is in diversity and representation, especially as millennial a
