Frequently asked questions about Firategrast immediate release

What is Firategrast immediate release used for?

Firategrast immediate release is an investigational small molecule being studied for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, a form of MS characterized by episodes of new or worsening symptoms. It is in Phase 1 clinical development and has not been approved for any indication. The immediate release designation refers to a tablet formulation designed to release the drug rapidly after administration.

What does Firategrast immediate release target?

Firategrast immediate release targets the integrin proteins ITGB1, ITGA4, and ITGB7, acting as an antagonist that blocks their activity. These integrins are involved in immune cell adhesion and migration, processes relevant to inflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis. By antagonizing these targets, the drug is designed to interfere with immune cell trafficking.

Who is developing Firategrast immediate release?

Firategrast immediate release is being developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. GSK is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating this formulation. The drug is an investigational asset within GSK's neurology pipeline, specifically for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

What phase is Firategrast immediate release in?

Firategrast immediate release is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA or any regulatory agency. The Phase 1 program has completed one trial, and no active trials are currently listed for this formulation.

What clinical trials is Firategrast immediate release in?

Firategrast immediate release has been evaluated in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01416363, titled Healthy Volunteer Study Using 3 Different Formulations of Firategrast. The trial enrolled 38 healthy male volunteers in Australia, was randomized and controlled, and studied three different formulations of firategrast.

Is Firategrast immediate release the same as Firategrast immediate release tablet?

Yes, Firategrast immediate release and Firategrast immediate release tablet refer to the same investigational product. The tablet is the immediate release oral formulation developed by GSK. Both names describe the same small molecule integrin antagonist being studied in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
