Frequently asked questions about Ontunisertib

What is Ontunisertib used for?

Ontunisertib is an investigational small molecule being developed for fibrostenotic Crohn's disease, a form of Crohn's disease characterized by intestinal narrowing and fibrosis. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA. It is being studied in patients with this condition.

What does Ontunisertib target?

Ontunisertib targets ALK5, also known as transforming growth factor beta receptor type I. By inhibiting ALK5, the drug is designed to interfere with TGF-beta signaling, which is implicated in fibrosis and stricture formation in fibrostenotic Crohn's disease. This mechanism is under investigation in clinical trials.

Who is developing Ontunisertib?

Ontunisertib is being developed by AgomAb Therapeutics NV, a biopharmaceutical company. The company's ticker symbol is AGMB. AgomAb is focused on developing therapies for fibrotic and inflammatory diseases, and Ontunisertib is its investigational small molecule for fibrostenotic Crohn's disease.

What phase is Ontunisertib in?

Ontunisertib is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 2 program includes a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in patients with fibrostenotic Crohn's disease.

What clinical trials is Ontunisertib in?

Ontunisertib is being evaluated in two active clinical trials. The Phase 2 NOV-ERA trial (NCT07683325) is assessing its efficacy and safety compared to placebo in patients with fibrostenosing Crohn's disease, enrolling 320 participants in the United States. A Phase 1 human mass balance study (NCT07672574) is also recruiting healthy male volunteers in the United Kingdom.

Does Ontunisertib have any FDA designations?

Ontunisertib has received Fast Track designation from the FDA. This designation is intended to expedite the development and review of drugs that treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. The drug remains investigational and is currently in Phase 2 clinical testing.
