Based on the positive safety and efficacy results from the Phase II trial and in consultation with the trial’s principal investigator, the Company has completed the Phase II trial early after enrolling sixteen, rather than twenty-four, patients. The Company expects to submit a summary of the data to regulatory bodies later this month to serve as the basis for a discussion on the next steps in Allocetra’s regulatory pathway in COVID-19 patients with severe or critical illness.
Allocetra’s intrinsic mechanism of action is immune-modulation, and is expected to potentially be relevant to COVID-19 severe/critical patients infected by various coronavirus strain mutations
Nes Ziona, Israel, Feb. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: ENLV, the “Company”), a clinical-stage macrophage reprogramming immunotherapy company targeting diseased macrophages in patients with sepsis, COVID-19 and solid tumors, today reported positive top-line results from a multi-center, investigator-initiated Phase II clinical trial evaluating AllocetraTM in severe and critical COVID-19 patients. Based on the positive results and in consultation with the trial’s principal investigator, the Company has completed the trial early and plans to submit a summary of the data for review by the relevant regulatory bodies. Submission of the data summary to regulators is expected later this month and will serve as the basis for a discussion with regulators on the next steps in Allocetra’s regulatory pathway in COVID-19 patients with severe or critical illness.
Sixteen COVID-19 patients were treated with AllocetraTM in the Phase II clinical trial, which originally was expected to enroll twenty-four patients. The clinical trial was completed early in support of anticipated accelerated regulatory filings of the trial’s positive safety and efficacy data. Of the sixteen patients enrolled in the Phase II trial, nine (9/16, 56%) were in severe condition and seven (7/16, 44%) were in critical condition.
