Lumos Pharma Announces Abstracts Accepted for Presentation at Upcoming Medical Meetings

AUSTIN, Texas, April 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumos Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:LUMO), a biopharmaceutical company advancing an oral therapeutic candidate for Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD) through Phase 2 clinical trials, announced today that abstracts reviewing data from its Phase 2 OraGrowtH210 and OraGrowtH212 Trials will be presented at several upcoming medical meetings in the US and Europe.

Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) Annual Meeting, held May 2-5, 2024, in Chicago, IL

  • Abstract, OraGrowtH210 Trial (Phase 2): Oral LUM-201 Shows Similar Annualized Height Velocity to Daily rhGH in Moderate Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD) with a 1.6mg/kg/day Dose and a Promising Investigational Safety Record, Andrew Dauber, MD, et al, to be presented in a poster session, Friday, May 3rd, 12:15-1:45 PM CT

The 10th International Congress of the Growth Hormone Research Society (GRS), held May 10-11, 2024, in Stockholm, Sweden

  • Abstract, Approaching the reality of restoring GH secretion and growth with the investigative oral growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) LUM-201 in moderate Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD), Peter Clayton, MD, PhD, et al, to be presented in an oral session, Friday, May 10th, 12:00-1:00 PM CET

European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE) 2024, held May 11-14, 2024, in Stockholm, Sweden

  • Abstract, Approaching the reality of restoring GH secretion and growth with the investigative oral growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) LUM-201 in moderate Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD), Peter Clayton, MD, PhD, et al, to be presented in an oral session, Sunday, May 12th, 4:20-6:00 PM CET

“We are excited to share additional data analyses from our Phase 2 OraGrowtH Trials with the global endocrine community at these key medical meetings,” said Rick Hawkins, Lumos Pharma’s Chairman and CEO. “Our Phase 2 data to date have demonstrated that, by augmenting the natural pulsatile secretion of growth hormone, our oral therapeutic candidate, LUM-201, produces comparable growth to injectable rhGH with significantly less exposure to circulating GH. We believe this information will continue to resonate throughout the endocrine community and that oral LUM-201 could create a paradigm shift in the way PGHD and other growth hormone disorders are treated.”

About LUM-201

LUM-201 (ibutamoren) is an orally administered small molecule that promotes the secretion (secretagogue) of Growth Hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland.1 LUM-201 acts as an agonist of the GH Secretagogue Receptor to stimulate GH release and to suppress the release of somatostatin.2 LUM-201 has been observed to increase the amplitude of endogenous pulsatile GH secretion in humans, which mimics the natural pattern of GH secretion. 3,4 This therapeutic candidate has been studied in more than 1,300 patients, both adult and pediatric, and was generally well tolerated with the most commonly reported adverse events being digestive systems events, including appetite increase. Mild elevations in liver enzymes without accompanying changes in bilirubin were also reported. LUM-201 has received Orphan Drug Designation in both the US and EU.
