TAIPEI, Taiwan I December 3, 2015 I TaiGen Biotechnology Company, Limited (“TaiGen”) made a public announcement today that the intravenous formulation of Taigexyn® has achieved the primary endpoint (clinical success rate at Visit 4 in the evaluable-mITT population) in the Phase 3 clinical trial of community acquired pneumonia (TG-873870-C-6). This trial was a randomized, double-blinded study comparing intravenous formulations of Taigexyn® 500mg vs. levofloxacin 500 mg and has recruited 525 patients from Taiwan and mainland China. The clinical success rates for Taigexyn® 500 mg and levofloxacin 500 mg were 92.8% and 87.0%, respectively, in evaluable-mITT subjects. Taigexyn® 500 mg was shown to be non-inferior to levofloxacin 500 mg in that the lower limit of the 95% CI of the treatment difference was greater than -10% (p<0.05). Based on these results, TaiGen will prepare for the filing of New Drug Application (NDA) with China’s FDA in 2016.
