(OTOF-GT) into a Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial in some European
Countries.
About Sensorion Sensorion is a pioneering clinical-stage
biotech company, which specializes in the development of novel
therapies to restore, treat and prevent hearing loss disorders, a
significant global unmet medical need. Sensorion has built a unique
R&D technology platform to expand its understanding of the
pathophysiology and etiology of inner ear related diseases,
enabling it to select the best targets and mechanisms of action for
drug candidates. It has two gene therapy programs aimed at
correcting hereditary monogenic forms of deafness, developed in the
framework of its broad strategic collaboration focused on the
genetics of hearing with the Institut Pasteur. SENS-501 (OTOF-GT)
currently being developed in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, targets
deafness caused by mutations of the gene encoding for otoferlin and
GJB2-GT targets hearing loss related to mutations in GJB2 gene to
potentially address important hearing loss segments in adults and
children. The Company is also working on the identification of
biomarkers to improve diagnosis of these underserved illnesses.
Sensorion’s portfolio also comprises clinical-stage small molecule
programs for the treatment and prevention of hearing loss
disorders. Sensorion’s clinical-stage portfolio includes one Phase
2 product: SENS-401 (Arazasetron) progressing in a planned Phase 2
proof of concept clinical study of SENS-401 in Cisplatin-Induced
Ototoxicity (CIO) and, with partner Cochlear Limited, in a study of
SENS-401 in patients scheduled for cochlear implantation. A Phase 2
study of SENS-401 was also completed in Sudden Sensorineural
Hearing Loss (SSNHL) in January 2022. www.sensorion.com
