Vitiligo is a skin condition that results in white patches on the skin due to loss of melanocytes. It can appear anywhere on the body and affects over 2% of the global population. This condition has a significant impact on both the physical appearance and psychological well-being of those affected, and currently, there are no ideal treatment options available.
Elixiron's EI-001 is a cutting-edge, fully human interferon-gamma monoclonal antibody, classified as a first-in-class innovative medication developed in-house. It has successfully concluded a Phase I clinical trial involving healthy volunteers. With the recent approval for the clinical trial in China, we are poised to vigorously progress and will initiate more clinical trials specifically tailored to individuals with vitiligo.
Ms. Duan, Xiaohua, CEO of Elixiron Immunotherapeutic, expressed, "The approval of this clinical trial for EI-001 in the treatment of vitiligo represents a significant milestone in our company's journey. Our team's dedication and expertise have been evident from our research mechanisms and early antibody discovery to the successful implementation of pre-clinical and clinical studies. This underscores our team's strong research capabilities and effective execution. Elixiron is committed to accelerating the path to market approval for this product, with the aim of providing vitiligo patients with safe and efficacious treatment options."
