, /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Thera Solutions, Inc. (688177:SH), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of innovative therapies and biosimilars, today announced that the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) has recommended early study termination for the pivotal Phase II/III trial of BAT4406F in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) based on positive interim analysis results. Following this recommendation, Bio-Thera has decided to close patient enrollment ahead of schedule. BAT4406F is an ADCC-enhanced, fully humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody developed by Bio-Thera. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II/III clinical trial, led by Professor Chen Xiangjun of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University (China), is being conducted across 45 sites in China. Following a formal review of interim data, the IDMC concluded that BAT4406F demonstrated statistically significant efficacy, meeting the pre-defined superiority criteria, and recommended early trial termination due to compelling efficacy. Based on this recommendation, Bio-Thera has decided to close enrollment ahead of schedule and begin preparation to file for regulatory approval from NMPA. In addition, Bio-Thera intends to explore the safety and efficacy of BAT4406F in other indications. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare, severe autoimmune disease characterized by high relapse rates and progressive disability. The condition primarily attacks the optic nerves and spinal cord, leading to devastating clinical outcomes: Optic neuritis (ON) causes rapid vision loss, visual field deficits, and potential permanent blindness. Transverse myelitis results in paralysis, sensory deficits, and bowel or bladder dysfunction. NMOSD was included in China's First National Rare Disease Catalog by the National Health Commission in 2018 due to the significant disease burden that patients experience. Current treatment options remain limited, creating substantial unmet medical needs for this debilitating neurological disorder. The development of novel NMOSD therapies remains a critical unmet medical need. BAT4406F has demonstrated statistically significant efficacy in its pivotal trial, achieving pre-specified superiority endpoints while maintaining a favorable safety profile.
