    RXi Pharmaceuticals Receives Orphan Drug Designation

    Samcyprone used for the treatment of malignant melanoma stage IIb to IV

    04.17.15
    RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a biotech company focused on discovering and developing therapies primarily in the areas of dermatology and ophthalmology, has been granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Orphan Drug Designation for its second clinical candidate, Samcyprone, for the treatment of malignant melanoma stage IIb to IV. A number of patients with stage IIb to IV malignant melanoma develop cutaneous metastases. Samcyprone is being developed for treatment of these metastases.

    Samcyprone is a topical formulation of Diphenylcylcopropenone (DPCP) in clinical development for the treatment of warts, alopecia areata and cutaneous metastases of melanoma. The mechanism of action for treatment cutaneous metastases of melanoma involves elicitation of an immune response in the skin that subsequently causes destruction of the cutaneous tumor.

    “This is an important step for patients suffering from this devastating disease,” said Dr. Geert Cauwenbergh, president and chief executive officer of RXi Pharmaceuticals. “This orphan designation underscores the value of expanding our clinical pipeline through the acquisition of Samcyprone. It provides the company with access to cost-saving benefits and incentives to aid in the development of this drug, and establishes a link to one of our other preclinical research programs with our sd-rxRNA platform focused on tyrosinase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of melanin.”
