European biotech AlgoTx, the developer of first-in-class treatment ATX01 for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), announced today the success of a €20M Series B fundraising led by Relyens Innovation Santé / Turenne Capital , followed by UI Investissement, and historical investors Bpifrance through its Innobio 2 fund and Omnes Capital. Early and new business angel investors also significantly participated in this financing round, and AlgoTx secured an additional 1M€ in non-dilutive financing. The proceeds will be used to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of ATX01 in neuropathic pain.
Bervin Bouani, Investment Director at Turenne Capital, commented: “We are very proud to lead this strategic financing round to support AlgoTx to continue the clinical development of ATX01 lead candidate that has the potential to significantly improve the lives of patients with neuropathic pain. We look forward to working with Stéphane and his outstanding team to transform AlgoTx into a global pain player.”
Following the demonstration of ATX01’s early clinical safety and low systemic passage in Phase 1, the Phase 2 “ACT” study will now assess ATX01’s ability to reduce pain in adult CIPN patients – a program granted “fast-track” designation by FDA. In parallel, the Phase 2 “EASE” study will explore ATX01’s efficacy in the debilitating pain of erythromelalgia, a program for which ATX01 was granted “Orphan Disease Designation” in the US and Europe.
Stéphane Thiroloix, Founder & CEO of AlgoTx, says: “It is incredibly exciting to start the efficacy trials of ATX01, supported by such a high-profile syndicate of investors. We look forward to enrolling patients in our studies any day now.”
Over half of cancer patients treated with chemotherapy develop CIPN and experience sensory symptoms and pain in the hands and feet: loss of sensitivity, tingling, burning, cold and intense pain can persist for months to years after treatment. It affects over two million patients in the US and Europe and represents a leading cause for modification or interruption of chemotherapy. To this date, no therapeutic approach has offered a satisfactory response for patients and their caregivers, oncologists, neurologists and pain specialists.
« We are very pleased to support the AlgoTx team in the development of ATX01, driven by our belief in its significant impact in the treatment of CIPN and other neuropathic pain. AlgoTx can truly transform the lives of patients suffering from these conditions », says Pauline de Breteuil Senior Partner UI Investissement / FCPI Majycc Innovation Santé.
