Saniona, a rare disease-focused company based in Sweden, received feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on a path forward for its hypothalamic obesity (HO) drug Tesomet. Based on guidance from the regulatory agency, Saniona is planning a Phase IIb study in this indication in the first half of this year.
“There is currently no medicine approved for hypothalamic obesity, a rare disease secondary to hypothalamic injury, characterized by intractable weight gain and complicated by uncontrollable hunger,” Rudolf Baumgartner, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Clinical Development at Saniona said in a statement. “We are encouraged by this feedback from the FDA and look forward to continuing a constructive dialogue with them as we prepare to initiate our Phase IIb clinical trial with Tesomet.”
