MONTPELLIER, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Regulatory News:
Sensorion (FR0012596468 – ALSEN) a pioneering clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company which specializes in the development of novel therapies to restore, treat and prevent inner ear diseases such as hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo, will present a keynote plenary lecture at the European Histamine Research Society in Kraków, Poland from May 15-18th, 2019.
Contrary to typically sedative H1 receptor antagonist antihistamines used in the management of vertigo, Seliforant (SENS-111) is a novel first-in-class H4 receptor antagonist.
Sensorion will cover the translational development of Seliforant starting from results of in vitro and in vivo preclinical models up until the current proof-of-concept, clinical trial stage ongoing in AUV patients (phase 2). This will include consistency between pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships predicted from preclinical models of severe vertigo and local target exposure assessment in a phase 1b clinical trial, as well as confirmed lack of sedation in the both the preclinical and clinical phase 2 setting.
The details of the oral presentation are as follows:
Session:
VII Scientific Session–Biologically active compounds
Title:
Translational development of Seliforant for the treatment of vertigo
Date

About Seliforant
Seliforant (formerly SENS-111) is the first
representative candidate of the histamine type 4 receptor antagonist
class to be tested for the symptomatic treatment of vertigo crises.
Displaying a neuromodulation effect of the sensorineural inner ear cell
function, Seliforant is a small molecule that can be taken orally or via
a standard injection, and is currently in a separate Phase 2 clinical
trial, being conducted in the United States, Europe, Israel and South
Korea.
