Lead compound GS-248 in clinical Phase II
In preclinical studies, the lead drug candidate GS-248 has shown potent and efficient anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.
A recently concluded study in an advanced model of endometriosis firmly established the disease-modifying properties of GS-248. The drug candidate also had a positive impact on pain-related parameters and well-being.
A Phase II study in systemic sclerosis concluded in 2022 confirmed the tolerability and safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and unique ability of GS-248 to inhibit mPGES-1 and thus modify prostaglandin profile. No significant effects were however seen compared to placebo in Raynaud’s phenomenon or peripheral blood flow.
Collectively, Gesynta Pharma has now established a solid scientific platform for advancing the development of GS-248 as a non-hormonal game-changer in the treatment of endometriosis.
