Omeros (OMER) presented two posters about zaltenibart (OMS906), their investigational MASP-3 inhibitor, at the ASH Annual Meeting. The presentations focused on Phase 2 clinical data and clinical pharmacology analyses for treating paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
The Phase 2 'switch-over' study showed that zaltenibart monotherapy achieved sustained improvements in hemoglobin and absolute reticulocyte count in PNH patients who had inadequate response to ravulizumab. The treatment was well-tolerated with no concerning safety signals.
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling identified 8mg/kg as the optimal intravenous dose administered every 8 weeks, achieving >98% suppression of alternative pathway activation. Phase 3 clinical trials are expected to begin enrollment in early 2025.
