Announcement
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc announced the enrollment of the first participant in a Phase 1 trial evaluating BCX17725, a potent and selective investigational kallikrein 5 (KLK5) inhibitor designed to provide best-in-class disease-modifying treatment for people with Netherton syndrome.
AI Summary
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals has enrolled the first participant in a Phase 1 trial for its investigational drug, BCX17725, a novel kallikrein 5 (KLK5) inhibitor. The drug is designed to treat Netherton syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes severe skin, hair, and immune problems. Netherton syndrome patients currently rely on topical treatments and supportive care, highlighting an unmet need for a therapy that targets the root cause of the disease. BCX17725 aims to modify the disease by inhibiting the overactive KLK5 enzyme, which is responsible for the abnormal skin symptoms. The trial will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of the drug. Early data from the trial is expected by the end of 2025, and BioCryst hopes that BCX17725 could emerge as a best-in-class treatment option for those struggling with this challenging condition.
