Lumos to Highlight New LUM-201 Data and Analysis Presented at ENDO 2023 in Virtual KOL Webinar

Webinar to Review Data Demonstrating
Potential Drug Effect and Durable Response

Webinar to be held Today June 21, 2023 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time

AUSTIN, Texas, June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumos Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:LUMO), a biopharmaceutical company advancing an oral therapeutic candidate for idiopathic Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (iPGHD) through Phase 2 clinical trials, is hosting today a virtual Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Webinar where Drs. Fernando Cassorla and Michael Tansey will highlight the encouraging new data and analysis on oral LUM-201 for idiopathic PGHD from the Phase 2 PK/PD OraGrowtH212 and dose-finding OraGrowtH210 Trials presented at the Endocrine Society (ENDO) Annual Meeting, held in Chicago, Illinois, June 15-18, 2023.

The event will feature presentations by KOLs in the field of pediatric endocrinology, Fernando Cassorla, MD, Chief of Pediatric Endocrinology, University of Chile, and Michael Tansey, MD, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics-Endocrinology and Diabetes, University of Iowa, Carver College of Medicine, who will review interim data from our Phase 2 OraGrowtH210 and OraGrowtH212 Trials presented at ENDO. Drs. Cassorla and Tansey will be available to answer questions following their formal presentations. To register for the virtual KOL Event, please click through the link HERE.

Drs. Cassorla and Tansey gave two oral presentations in the Update on Growth Disorders session at the 2023 ENDO Meeting. Presentation slides will be available from the Events and Presentations section of the Lumos website.

Dose Responsiveness of LUM-201 as Measured by Acute GH Response and IGF-1 and Annualized Height Velocity (AHV) Measured at 6 Months in the Interim Analysis of the OraGrowtH212 Study in Idiopathic Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (iPGHD) (Fernando Cassorla, MD, Chief of Pediatric Endocrinology, University of Chile)

  • New data from OraGrowtH212 trial shows durable response after 12 months of LUM-201 administration
  • Clear evidence of potential drug effect observed in consistent improvement in average height velocity over baseline
  • Treatment with LUM-201 increased serum IGF-1 concentration and SDS values, which remained within normal range while contributing to meaningful increases in height velocity
  • Data support physiologic mechanism of action of LUM-201

Growth Response of Oral LUM-201 in OraGrowtH210 and OraGrowtH212 Trials in Idiopathic Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (iPGHD): Combined Analysis Interim Analysis Data (Michael Tansey, MD, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics-Endocrinology and Diabetes, University of Iowa)

  • Dr. Tansey presented new analysis of combined interim data from two Phase 2 trials at the 1.6 mg/kg/day and 3.2 mg/kg/day doses, including 15 subjects from the OraGrowtH212 Trial and 20 subjects from the OraGrowtH210 Trial
  • Results of the analysis of the additional OraGrowtH212 subjects combined with OraGrowtH210 subjects continue to demonstrate that there is a durable response to LUM-201 from 6 to 12 months
  • Pre-treatment baseline AHV data, which was not captured for all of the subjects in our database, was available for 31 of the 35 subjects and showed that LUM-201 at both the 1.6 mg/kg/day and 3.2 mg/kg/day produced clinically meaningful increase in AHV from baseline
  • No treatment related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), no discontinuation due to AEs, and no meaningful safety signals observed

About Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency and LUM-201

Pediatric Growth Hormone (GH) Deficiency is the consequence of inadequate secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland in children resulting in low GH in the body, insufficient production of downstream signaling molecules required for growth, and the subsequent lack of growth. LUM-201, also known as ibutamoren, is an orally administered investigational small molecule that promotes the secretion of GH from the pituitary gland and represents an opportunity for moderate idiopathic PGHD patients – the majority of the total PGHD population1 – to avoid the daily or weekly injections involved with current or forthcoming therapies. LUM-201 has been observed to increase the amplitude of endogenous pulsatile GH secretion, which mimics the natural pattern of GH secretion.
