Kyowa Kirin Co. is conducting a first-in-human study titled ‘A Multicenter, Open-label, Phase 1/2, Dose-escalation and Subsequent Safety Extension Study of Subcutaneous KK8123 in Adult Patients With X-linked Hypophosphatemia.’ The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KK8123, a new treatment for X-linked hypophosphatemia, a rare genetic disorder affecting phosphate metabolism. This study is significant as it could lead to a novel therapeutic option for patients with limited current treatments.
The intervention being tested is KK8123, administered subcutaneously. It is designed to address the underlying phosphate imbalance in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia, potentially improving their quality of life.
The study is interventional, non-randomized, and follows a sequential model. It is open-label, meaning no masking is involved, and its primary purpose is treatment. The study is divided into multiple cohorts with varying doses of KK8123, including a safety extension period.
The study began on May 10, 2024, with primary completion expected in the near future. The last update was submitted on April 30, 2025. These dates are crucial for investors tracking the progress and potential market entry of KK8123.
Kyowa Kirin’s stock performance may be influenced by the outcomes of this study, as positive results could enhance investor confidence and market position in the rare disease treatment sector. Competitors in this space will be closely monitoring these developments.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
