LYON, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: We are grateful for the confidence shown in MaaT Pharma and the support from the EIB, which is a further foundation towards the next phase of MaaT Pharma's growth on bringing the potential first microbiome-based therapy to market in Europe. MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT: MAAT – the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company and a leader in the development of Microbiome Ecosystem Therapies™ (MET) dedicated to enhancing survival for patients with cancer through immune modulation, today announced that it has secured a €37.5 million, 4-tranche financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). The financing will support the advancement of its late-stage hemato-oncology clinical programs including the lead-asset Xervyteg ®, recently partnered with Clinigen in Europe, and currently under regulatory review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) and the second drug candidate, MaaT033, currently being evaluated in a Phase 2b randomized controlled trial in improving survival for patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplants.

LEIDEN, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Azafaros, a company focused on developing treatments for the unmet needs of patients with rare lysosomal storage disorders, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the company's pivotal, multicenter Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the company's lead asset, nizubaglustat, in patients with Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) and GM1/GM2 gangliosidoses. 'The dosing of the first patient in our Phase 3 program with nizubaglustat is a significant achievement for Azafaros, and a huge step forward in our efforts to bring new, disease modifying treatments to patients with these seriously debilitating diseases,' Share The initiation of the two Phase 3 studies (NCT07054515) represents a major milestone in Azafaros' commitment to addressing the urgent unmet medical needs of children affected by these devastating neurodegenerative disorders. The Phase 3 program consists of two studies targeting the late-infantile and juvenile-onset forms of NPC, and GM1/GM2 gangliosidoses. The studies aim to assess the potential of nizubaglustat to alter disease progression and improve functional outcomes in these patient populations. Today's news follows the recent, successful completion of an oversubscribed series B financing, raising €132M to support the acceleration of nizubaglustat and the expansion of the company's pipeline to other indications. 'The dosing of the first patient in our Phase 3 program with nizubaglustat is a significant achievement for Azafaros and a huge step forward in our efforts to bring new, disease modifying treatments to patients with these seriously debilitating diseases,' said Stefano Portolano, Chief Executive Officer at Azafaros. 'We are deeply grateful to the patients, families, clinicians, and advocacy groups who are partnering with us to advance this promising therapy.' About the NAVIGATE trial The two 18-month randomized 2 to 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials will recruit patients at approximately 35 sites across 15 countries worldwide, including in the US, Europe and Latin America. The studies are expected to enroll around 70 patients. The primary endpoint for both trials is the change from baseline to Month 18 in the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), with both total and functional SARA scores evaluated.
