Recruiting for 1A Clinical Trials Underway
Pharnext announced Phase III
clinical trials for its PXT3003 drug
for CMT1A February 21. The
international, multi-center,
randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled study is designed
to evaluate PXT3003 versus placebo
in male and non-pregnant female
subjects with genetically confirmed
CMT1A of mild-to-moderate severity,
aged 16 to 65 years.
PXT3003 is a novel, fixed-dose
synergistic combination of baclofen,
naltrexone and sorbitol formulated as
an oral solution. The three individual
components of PXT3003 were
selected to downregulate the
overexpression of PMP22 protein,
leading to improvement of neuronal
signaling in dysfunctional peripheral
nerves. Visits will take place at screening,
