FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 10, 2024
Scilex Holding Company Enters into a Binding Term Sheet for a Joint Venture with IPMC and Bio Open Innovation Consortium to Develop and Commercialize a Phase 2 Clinical Stage, Potential Best-In-Class Novel Oral Tablet for the Treatment of Obesity and Neurodegenerative Diseases Including Alzheimer’s Disease
•The joint venture, Scilex Bio (“Scilex Bio JV”), will have global development and commercialization rights for a Phase 2 clinical stage, potential best-in-class novel oral tablet, KDS2010, for the treatment of obesity and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease.
•KDS2010 has shown promising preclinical results with a novel mechanism (controls GABA levels in astrocytes) that acts reversibly and selectively inhibits MAO-B enzymes and presents a potential innovative new treatment addressing several cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative disorders.
•KDS2010 pharmacokinetics, lack of food effect, safety and dose selection have been characterized in Single Ascending Dose and Multiple Ascending Dose Phase 1 clinical trials with 88 healthy young adults and elderly subjects, demonstrating favorable safety and tolerability profile in adults and elderly and adequate pharmacokinetics for once-daily dosing.
•Selective inhibition of astrocytic GABA is a molecular target for treating obesity. KDS2010 is being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial as an obesity treatment, which inhibits astrocytic GABA in lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), a brain nucleus which regulates food intake and energy balance. KDS2010 facilitates fat thermogenesis and reduces weight gain without affecting food intake in mice. This new treatment may be a more effective and safer alternative to existing obesity treatments, which are known to cause vomiting, potential muscle loss, nausea, and inducing resistance to GLP-1 treatment after stopping medication.
•Scilex will plan to announce scientific data on the novel mechanism of actions of KDS2010 published in prestigious scientific journals.
•Pursuant to the terms of the binding term sheet, Scilex will own controlling interest of Scilex Bio JV upon contribution of $50 million of Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Semnur”) common stock owned by Scilex, which is expected to be publicly traded on Nasdaq during Q1-2025 and IPMC will own 40% of the JV upon contribution of the exclusive, perpetual and worldwide rights to the KDS2010 compound for all indications.
•As millions seek access to weight loss drugs, IQVIA experts at Institute for Data Science see a vast opportunity in weight loss drugs with annual global sales forecasts for the emerging obesity drug treatments to about $150 billion by the early 2030s. Global spending on obesity medication totaled $24 billion last year, IQVIA estimated in a 5-year outlook that sales could reach $131 billion by 2028.1
•Per Health Care analyst reports 20232, Alzheimer’s global drug market size is expected to rise above $15 billion by 2030 in the eight major markets, as new drugs show promise and are being launched with FDA approval to slow cognitive decline.
PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA – December 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX, “Scilex” or “Company”) and IPMC Company, a representative company of the Bio Innovation Consortium (“BOIC”), which holds the exclusive rights to NeuroBiogen Company’s (“NB”) KDS2010 global license, today announced a binding term sheet to create a commercial joint venture, Scilex Bio, to develop and commercialize a next-generation reversible MAO-B Inhibitor, a novel inhibitor of aberrant GABA production in reactive astrocytes for the treatment of obesity and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease.
IPMC, a private biopharmaceutical company, represents the BOIC, an innovative consortium committed to establishing 'Open Innovation' as a transformative paradigm in biohealth research, development, and commercialization.
"The partnership between IPMC and Scilex spans almost a decade. At the 2017 IPMC International Conference in Seoul, leaders from both companies pledged to undertake a bold challenge for the next century, dedicated to upholding the dignity of human life. Since then, we have been deeply impressed by Scilex's efforts in advancing multiple non-opioid pain management programs, addressing areas of significant unmet medical needs in the U.S. and beyond. We believe Scilex is uniquely positioned to unlock the potential of KDS2010, offering hope to individuals suffering from neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic diseases. This potential milestone represents a significant advancement in fulfilling the vision of our bold challenge," said Youngwoo Jang, President of IPMC.
“We are thrilled to partner with IPMC and BOIC to advance KDS2010, a promising oral therapy targeting some of the most pressing global health challenges, including obesity and neurodegenerative diseases, which affect over a billion people globally. By leveraging IPMC’s groundbreaking work on KDS2010 and Scilex’s strengths in development and commercialization, we believe this novel oral therapy may redefine treatment standards, offering a safer and more convenient solution for patients with obesity and other CNS diseases,” said Jaisim Shah, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scilex.
“KDS2010 has the potential to significantly advance treatment options for obesity and neurodegenerative diseases, areas where current therapies often fall short. With its innovative mechanism and favorable safety profile, this small molecule offers a unique opportunity to deliver
better outcomes for patients. We are eager to bring this groundbreaking therapy to market,” said Dr. Jay Chun, M.D., Ph.D., board member of Scilex.
The formation and organizational structure of Scilex Bio JV is subject to negotiation of definitive agreements between Scilex and IMPC, with operations of Scilex Bio JV expected to commence during Q1-2025.
