Shanghai, China — September 13, 2021— Hansoh Pharma (HKEX 3692.HK), an innovative biopharmaceutical company, carrying the mission of "create excellence in pharmaceuticals, enhance innovation in China", which has been committed to improving human health through continuous innovation, especially in major disease treatment fields including oncology, CNS, anti-infectives, diabetes and autoimmune disease, announced today that the company has filed an investigational new drug (IND) application with the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of the People’s Republic of China for a Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).Ibrexafungerp, the first fourth-generation antifungal drug with a new mechanism of action discovered and developed in more than 20 years, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2021. The therapy is being studied and developed by U.S.-based SCYNEXIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCYX) as a broad-spectrum, systemic antifungal for multiple severe fungal infections in community and hospital settings. Under a licensing agreement with SCYNEXIS announced in February 2021, Hansoh will be responsible for the development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of ibrexafungerp in Greater China. Aifeng Lyu, Ph.D., President of Hansoh Pharma, said, “Antifungal resistance is on the rise, posing a global health threat, and with only three classes of antifungal drugs on the market in China, we recognize the urgent need for more effective antifungal therapies. We believe in ibrexafungerp’s potential to address this need, and we are confident that with our integrated R&D, manufacturing, and commercial infrastructure, we can make ibrexafungerp a significant commercial success in Greater China. We look forward to initiating and progressing this Phase 3 trial to bring this differentiated antifungal to patients in Greater China.” About IbrexafungerpIbrexafungerp is an antifungal agent and the first representative of a novel class of structurally-distinct glucan synthase inhibitors, triterpenoids. This agent combines the well-established activity of glucan synthase inhibitors with the potential flexibility of having oral and intravenous (IV) formulations. Ibrexafungerp is in late-stage development for multiple indications, including life-threatening fungal infections caused primarily by Candida (including C. auris) and Aspergillus species in hospitalized patients. It has demonstrated broad-spectrum antifungal activity, in vitro and in vivo, against multidrug-resistant pathogens, including azole- and echinocandin-resistant strains.
