F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd: Positive phase III results show Xofluza significantly reduces the transmission of influenza viruses

Finanznachrichten News
  • Data from the CENTERSTONE study shows single-dose Xofluza reduces transmission of influenza from an infected person to household members
  • This is the first time that any antiviral used in the treatment of a respiratory viral illness has demonstrated a transmission reduction benefit in a global phase III study
  • Reducing the spread of infection in the household could help limit transmission within communities and societies, easing the burden of both seasonal and pandemic influenza on healthcare systems

Basel, 19 September - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today positive topline results of the phase III CENTERSTONE study of Xofluza® (baloxavir marboxil), an antiviral, showing a reduction in the transmission of influenza viruses. The study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that a single, oral dose of Xofluza taken by people infected with influenza significantly reduced the likelihood of others in their household contracting the virus. Xofluza was well tolerated with no new safety signals identified.

CENTERSTONE is the first global phase III study to show a transmission reduction benefit with an antiviral used in the treatment of a respiratory viral illness. This new data may add to the benefits of Xofluza, which is currently approved for treating symptoms and preventing infection following virus exposure.1 The topline results will be presented at the 2024 OPTIONS XII for the Control of Influenza congress (29 September - 2 October, Brisbane, Australia).

"Building on Xofluza's established efficacy in treating and preventing influenza after exposure, this new evidence of transmission reduction represents an important advance that could help improve health outcomes at an individual and community level," said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., Roche's Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development. "We look forward to discussing these data with regulatory authorities and public health organisations for influenza pandemic preparedness to bring these benefits to patients."

Influenza is one of the most common yet serious infectious diseases, representing a significant burden to public health. Every year, seasonal influenza infects an estimated one billion people and causes millions of hospitalisations and up to 650,000 deaths globally.2,3 With the co-circulation and burden of multiple respiratory viruses (including COVID-19) infecting individuals within and outside of the winter season, it is more important than ever that influenza is not underestimated.4 For the effective control of both seasonal and pandemic influenza, early diagnosis and treatment is critical.5

The CENTERSTONE study has been partially supported with federal funds from the US Department of Health and Human Services; Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, under Other Transaction Agreement number: HHSO100201800036C.

About CENTERSTONE6
The CENTERSTONE study [NCT03969212] was a global phase III trial investigating the efficacy of single-dose Xofluza, taken within 48 hours of symptoms onset, to reduce the onward transmission of influenza within households. The study ran across 272 sites across the globe, with over 4,000 participants, and involved otherwise healthy patients from five to 64 years who had been diagnosed with influenza via a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or rapid influenza diagnostic test, known as index patients (IPs) and those within their household (known as household contacts, HHCs). The primary endpoint was the proportion of HHCs who tested positive for influenza within five days after the IP had been treated with either Xofluza or placebo. The secondary endpoint looked at the proportion of HHCs who tested positive for influenza by day five and developed influenza symptoms. The design of this randomised, placebo-controlled trial was developed with inputs from the US FDA and leading experts in influenza.

About Xofluza® (baloxavir marboxil)
Xofluza is a first-in-class, single-dose oral medicine with an innovative mechanism of action designed to block viral replication by inhibiting the cap-dependent endonuclease protein, potentially reducing the duration of infectiousness and disease. Xofluza's mechanism of action has demonstrated efficacy in a wide range of influenza viruses, including in vitro activity against oseltamivir-resistant strains and avian strains (H7N9, H5N1) in non-clinical studies.7,8,9

Xofluza is approved in more than 80 countries for the treatment of uncomplicated influenza types A and B.10 In Europe, Xofluza is approved for the treatment of influenza in otherwise healthy patients and as a preventative treatment (post-exposure prophylaxis).1 Xofluza represents the first innovation in mechanism of action for an influenza antiviral approved in almost 20 years for treatment in children, adolescents and adults.11

Robust clinical evidence has demonstrated the benefit of Xofluza in several populations).15

Xofluza was discovered by Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and is being further developed and commercialised globally in collaboration with the Roche Group (which includes Genentech in the US) and Shionogi & Co., Ltd. Under the terms of this agreement, Roche holds worldwide rights to Xofluza excluding Japan and Taiwan, which will be retained exclusively by Shionogi & Co., Ltd.
