Sensorion (FR0012596468 – ALSEN) a pioneering
clinical-stage biotechnology company which specializes in the
development of novel therapies to restore, treat and prevent within
the field of hearing loss disorders, today announces its
participation in the 31st Congress of the European Society of Gene
and Cell Therapy (ESGCT), held on October 22-25, 2024, in Rome,
Italy.
On this occasion, Sensorion's scientific team will present three
posters on the progress of its gene therapy drug candidate,
GJB2-GT. This research program aims to restore hearing in patients
suffering from deafness linked to mutations in the GJB2 gene.
Mutations in this gene are the most common form of deafness in
children.
Professor Christine Petit, M.D., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at
Collège de France and Professor at the Institut Pasteur, France,
Winner of the Kavli Prize in 2018, founding director of the
Institut de l’Audition (a center of the Institut Pasteur), Head of
the “Innovations in Auditory Therapies” laboratory in this
institute and President of Sensorion's Scientific Advisory Board,
will present the following poster, in collaboration with Sensorion:
“GJB2 gene therapy-response of two pre-clinical mouse models of
the most frequent form of human deafness, DFNB1.” Poster
N°0273
Sandra Pierredon, a scientist from Sensorion's Technology and
Innovation Platform department, will present the following poster,
in collaboration with the Institut Pasteur: “Characterization of
a safe and functional GT-GJB2 vector for the treatment of DFNB1A
hearing loss.” Poster N°0051
Laurent Désiré, Ph.D., Head of Preclinical Development at
Sensorion, will present the following poster, in collaboration with
the Institut Pasteur: “Preclinical development of GT-GJB2 as a
treatment for the autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness 1A
(DFNB1A) using an adeno associated vector-based gene therapy.”
Poster N°0052
These posters will be on display from October 22, 2024, to
October 23, 2024, and will be available for consultation on the
Sensorion website shortly after the presentation session.
About Sensorion Sensorion is a pioneering clinical-stage
biotech company, which specializes in the development of novel
therapies to restore, treat, and prevent hearing loss disorders, a
significant global unmet medical need. Sensorion has built a unique
R&D technology platform to expand its understanding of the
pathophysiology and etiology of inner ear related diseases,
enabling it to select the best targets and mechanisms of action for
drug candidates.
It has two gene therapy programs aimed at correcting hereditary
monogenic forms of deafness, developed in the framework of its
broad strategic collaboration focused on the genetics of hearing
with the Institut Pasteur. SENS-501 (OTOF-GT) currently being
developed in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, targets deafness caused by
mutations of the gene encoding for otoferlin and GJB2-GT targets
hearing loss related to mutations in GJB2 gene to potentially
address important hearing loss segments in adults and children. The
Company is also working on the identification of biomarkers to
improve diagnosis of these underserved illnesses.
Sensorion’s portfolio also comprises clinical-stage small
molecule programs for the treatment and prevention of hearing loss
disorders. Sensorion’s clinical-stage portfolio includes one Phase
2 product: SENS-401 (Arazasetron) progressing in a planned Phase 2
proof of concept clinical study of SENS-401 in Cisplatin-Induced
Ototoxicity (CIO) and, with partner Cochlear Limited, has completed
in a study of SENS-401 in patients scheduled for cochlear
implantation. A Phase 2 study of SENS-401 was also completed in
Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) in January 2022.
