Regulatory News:
MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT: MAAT – the “Company”), a
clinical-stage biotechnology company and a leader in the
development of Microbiome Ecosystem TherapiesTM (MET) dedicated to
improving survival outcomes for patients with cancer, today
reported that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the
“Agency”) has lifted the clinical hold and cleared the
Investigational New Drug (IND) application to initiate in the U.S.
an open-label, single arm Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial evaluating
the safety and efficacy of MaaT013 to treat gastrointestinal acute
Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) as a third line of treatment.
“We are grateful for the FDA’s continued engagement and are very
pleased with the lift of the hold on MaaT013’s IND application.
This is the first time the Agency has authorized the Phase 3
clinical evaluation in the U.S of a microbiota-based live
biotherapeutic based on a pooling technology1, which provides
greater bacterial diversity, in a standardized and scalable
approach, with the goal of safely improving patients’ outcomes.
This major milestone is fundamental to the strategic decisions
regarding the development of our portfolio outside Europe and to
the Company’s outlook in the U.S.,” said Hervé Affagard, CEO and
co-founder of MaaT Pharma. “The U.S. represents an important
market for our therapeutics, and we have already benefited from our
previous discussions with the FDA by adapting our pooling
technology for our entire pipeline according to the guidelines
received during this regulatory process.”
In parallel to the resolution of the clinical hold with the FDA,
the development of MaaT013 has significantly progressed in the
ongoing international multicenter open-label, single arm, pivotal
Phase 3 trial (ARES) launched in March 2022 in Europe, along with
the ongoing accumulation of encouraging data from the Early Access
Program. In this context, before initiating clinical activities in
the U.S., MaaT Pharma intends to consult with the FDA on the next
steps of the regulatory process to bring MaaT013 to US patients in
the most expeditious way possible while the Company continues the
late-stage clinical development of MaaT013 in Europe.
“Today’s positive answer is also an exciting moment for MaaT
Pharma in its mission to help patients through safe and innovative
medicines. It also confirms the robustness of our protocols for
donor screening and selection which are now authorized for clinical
evaluation in the U.S. as well as in Europe. We are now in a
position to start discussions with the FDA for the clinical
evaluation of MaaT033, our second drug-candidate, in the U.S.,”
added Mr. Affagard. “This step forward for us will also
contribute to progress across the microbiome field and confirms
MaaT Pharma’s position as a leader in the industry.”
