ConSynance Therapeutics Reports Positive Phase 1 Results for CSTI-500 in Prader-Willi Syndrome Patients
May 30, 2023
​
ConSynance today announced positive results from its Phase 1 trial for CSTI-500, a potential groundbreaking treatment for Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).
​
In the study conducted at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, CSTI-500, a Triple Monoamine Reuptake Inhibitor (TRI), demonstrated a strong safety profile with no severe adverse events. Importantly, its pharmacokinetics closely align with earlier observations in healthy volunteers. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetics data confirm the bioequivalence of the newly developed capsule formulation. With these compelling findings, CSTI-500 is now poised to advance into a Phase 2 clinical trial.
​
CSTI-500 has previously completed Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) studies in healthy volunteers, generating valuable safety, pharmacokinetics and brain target engagement data. The robust pharmacokinetic and safety data of CSTI-500 in PWS patients provide strong support to proceed to a Phase 2 study.
​
"CSTI-500 has the potential to significantly improve the lives of PWS patients and their loved ones by addressing two of the most debilitating symptoms - hyperphagia and temper outbursts," stated Shuang Liu, CEO and Founder of ConSynance, and co-inventor of CSTI-500. "These encouraging results from PWS patients underscore CSTI-500's potential as a promising therapeutic candidate, bringing us one step closer to fulfilling the substantial unmet medical needs in the PWS community."

First participant enrolled onto pharmacokinetic and safety study of CSTI-500 in subjects with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS）
November 14, 2022
​
ConSynance is pleased to announce that the first two participants have been enrolled onto its open-label, single-center, Phase 1 study. This study will evaluate the PK and safety of a 10 mg single oral dose of CSTI-500, a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor (TRI), in people with PWS.
​
Overall the study is looking to recruit 14 individuals between the ages of 13 and 50 years. Eligible participants will attend five in-clinic site visits at Vanderbilt University Medical Center for PK blood draws and safety assessments over a 6-day period. The study will consist of a Screening Period 1-3 days prior to the Baseline Visit. In addition to the Screening Visit, eligible participants will attend five in-clinic site visits for PK blood draws and safety assessments over a 6-day period. At Visit 2 all subjects will receive one single oral dose of CSTI-500 10 mg.
