ObsEva SA: ObsEva Presents PROLONG Phase 2a Proof-of-Concept Data on Ebopiprant (OBE022) for the Treatment of Spontaneous Preterm Labor at the RCOG Virtual World Congress 2021

Finanznachrichten News

-PROLONG data demonstrating ebopiprant was well tolerated and showed early evidence of efficacy selected for presentation-

- Phase 2b/3 adaptive dose-ranging study planned to initiate in Q4:21-

GENEVA, Switzerland and BOSTON, MA - June 10, 2021 - ObsEva SA (NASDAQ: OBSV) (SIX: OBSN), a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing novel therapies to improve women's reproductive health, today announced the presentation of clinical data from the PROLONG Phase 2a proof-of-concept study of ebopiprant for the treatment of spontaneous preterm labor at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG) Virtual World Congress 2021. As previously disclosed, the PROLONG data demonstrated that ebopiprant was well tolerated and showed early evidence of efficacy in pregnant women with spontaneous preterm labor and supports the advancement into a Phase 2b/3 adaptive study.

"We are encouraged by the positive data generated to date, highlighting the unique mechanism of action and the potential clinical benefit of ebopiprant for the treatment of preterm labor to reduce the incidence of preterm birth," said Ben Mol, Ph.D., M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Monash Medical Centre, Melbourne Australia and a leading Key Opinion Leader in preterm labor therapeutics. "A key objective in the treatment of preterm labor is to delay delivery for at least 48 hours, as this allows for the transfer of women to centers with neonatal intensive care facilities and for the peak effect of corticosteroids given to accelerate fetal lung maturation. Building on the effects seen at 48 hours and in earlier gestations at 7 days, the next clinical study will explore a range of doses to fully define and optimize the full therapeutic potential of ebopiprant. We look forward to leveraging important learnings from PROLONG in this next phase of development."

"These positive data play a critical role in our development plans for ebopiprant, and we are excited to build on this momentum," said Brian O'Callaghan, CEO of ObsEva. "Preparations are ongoing to initiate a Phase 2b/3 clinical study in Q4:21. We believe this adaptive study has the potential to support an accelerated registration program in Europe, and we look forward to providing additional updates on our progress later this year. We also plan to engage the FDA in discussions regarding the US clinical program for ebopiprant. With no other known compounds under development for the treatment of preterm labor, ebopiprant has the potential to be an important advancement in the prevention of preterm birth."

The abstract, titled "A Randomised, Placebo-Controlled, Proof-of-Concept Trial of Ebopiprant for Spontaneous Preterm Labor (PROLONG)," will be presented today during an oral session by Dr. Ben Mol (Abstract #601).

Summary of the data:

  • Ebopiprant, when administered with atosiban infusion to women with preterm labor, reduced delivery in singleton pregnancies at 48 hours after the start of dosing by over 50% compared to atosiban alone.
  • Overall, 7/56 (12.5%) of women receiving ebopiprant on top of atosiban delivered within 48 hours of starting treatment compared to 12/55 (21.8%) receiving atosiban plus placebo (OR 90% CI: 0.52 (0.22, 1.23)).
  • In singleton pregnancies, 5/40 (12.5%) of women receiving ebopiprant plus atosiban delivered within 48 hours compared to 11/41 (26.8%) receiving atosiban plus placebo (OR 90% CI: 0.39 (0.15, 1.04)).
  • This difference was observed for singletons (12.5% vs 26.8%) but not for twins (12.5% vs 7.1 %).
  • The treatment effect for the overall population was more modest at 7 days, however in younger gestational ages, the percentage of women who delivered within 7 days was lower in women receiving ebopiprant on top of atosiban (23.8%) compared to women who received placebo plus atosiban (14.3%) (OR 90% CI: 0.53 (0.14, 2.01)).
  • The incidence of maternal, fetal and neonatal adverse events was comparable between the treatment groups.

The presentation is available through the RCOG conference portal, and the link to the session is also available under the "Events Calendar" in the Investors section of ObsEva's website at www.ObsEva.com

About PROLONG

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial was designed to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ebopiprant. In this study, 113 women.

About Ebopiprant and PGF2a

ObsEva is developing ebopiprant, a potential first-in-class, once daily, oral and selective prostaglandin F2a receptor antagonist, which is designed to control preterm labor by reducing inflammation, decreasing uterine contractions, preventing cervical changes and fetal membrane rupture without causing the potentially serious side effects to the fetus seen with non-specific prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors (NSAIDs). PGF2a is believed to induce contractions of the myometrium and also upregulate enzymes causing cervix dilation and membrane rupture. In nonclinical studies, ObsEva has observed that ebopiprant markedly reduces spontaneous and induced uterine contractions in pregnant rats without causing the fetal side effects seen with non-specific prostaglandin inhibitors such as indomethacin. Ebopiprant (OBE022) was licensed from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, in 2015. ObsEva retains worldwide, exclusive, commercial rights.
