19 September 2023
Caliway Biopharmaceuticals (Caliway), a biopharmaceutical company focusing on breakthrough medical aesthetics and inflammatory medicine discovery of small-molecule therapeutics, announced the completion of subject recruitment in the CBL-0201EFP Phase 2-stage 2 study.
The CBL-0201EFP Phase 2-stage 2 study is an open-label trial that will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CBL-514 in treating subjects with moderate to severe cellulite. The study actually enrolled a total of 23 subjects, all of whom will receive CBL-514 treatment. The efficacy and safety will be evaluated at follow-up visits at week 4 and week 12 after the last treatment. The topline results of the study are anticipated in Q2 2024.
About CBL-514
CBL-514, a first-in-class small-molecule drug, is an injection lipolysis drug that can induce adipocytes apoptosis and lipolysis to reduce subcutaneous adiposity in treatment areas in animal studies without causing any systematic side effects on the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system. Caliway's nonclinical studies showed that CBL-514 inhibits the cell survival kinase DYRK1b, upregulates the apoptosis mediators caspase 3 and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and then induces dose-dependent adipocyte apoptosis in vivo and in vitro.
Caliway is investigating multiple indications for CBL-514, including non-invasive fat reduction (reducing subcutaneous fat), Dercum's disease, cellulite, and lipoma treatment.
