Gain Therapeutics Presents Positive Phase 1b Open-Label Extension Data For Rexaceract Demonstrating Further Evidence of Disease-Modifying Activity Through 12 Months Administration
Gain Therapeutics presented Phase 1b open-label extension data showing MDS-UPDRS motor scores remained stable over 12 months of rexaceract dosing in all 12 evaluable participants, with no clinically meaningful disease progression in Parkinson's disease.
No new safety signals were observed, and treatment-emergent adverse events declined in the 9-month extension versus the initial 3-month period; participants in both high and low CSF GluSph baseline groups showed stabilization.
The company will submit a new Phase 2 protocol to the FDA in the coming weeks and expects to begin the Phase 2 trial in 1Q27, a slight delay informed by Phase 1b learnings and discussions with potential partners.
