Foresee Pharmaceuticals Announces Completion of Last Patient Visit in Registration Phase 3 Study of LMIS 25 mg (fp-001) for the Treatment of Advanced Prostate Cancer


TAIPEI, Taiwan, Nov. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Foresee Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (6576.TWO) today announced that all patients had completed participation in its Phase 3, multinational, multicenter trial of FP-001/LMIS (Leuprolide Mesylate Injectable Suspension) 25 mg, a three-month, ready-to-use subcutaneous depot formulation for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.

The open-labeled, single arm study enrolled a total of 144 prostate cancer patients in 21 sites in the U.S., South Korea, and Europe. Each patient received two consecutive injections of LMIS 25 mg for an aggregated treatment duration of six months. Topline results from this study are expected in the first quarter of 2019.

"We are very pleased to have completed another key program milestone on schedule. With topline data expected in Q1/2019, we are aggressively preparing for regulatory submissions of this 3-month ready-to-use depot soon following the submission of the LMIS 50 mg 6-month ready-to-use depot which previously completed the Phase 3 registration study with great success," said Dr. Ben Chien, Chairman of Foresee. "Together these two LMIS products will constitute a new generation, differentiated, leuprolide-based uro-oncology franchise."

"The commercial success of LMIS will help catalyze and push forward our development-stage NCE programs, including FP-025, a highly selective oral MMP-12 inhibitor targeting inflammatory and fibrotic diseases, currently in Phase 2 proof-of-concept study, and FP-045, a highly selective oral small molecule allosteric activator of the mitochondrial target, ALDH2, for which a Phase 2 study is currently in planning for mitochondrial-mediated diseases such as Peripheral Artery Disease and Fanconi Anemia," said Dr. Chien.
