Gesynta Pharma AB announced the dosing of the first patient in its Phase 2 clinical trial (NOVA) for vipoglanstat, a new non-hormonal, non-opioid drug candidate for treating endometriosis. This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vipoglanstat in managing endometriosis-related pain and other symptoms in around 190 women aged 18 to 45 across several European countries. The trial will compare two doses of vipoglanstat with a placebo over approximately four menstrual cycles, with results expected in 2027. Vipoglanstat targets the enzyme mPGES-1, which is involved in producing the inflammatory mediator PGE2 in endometriotic lesions. Preclinical studies have shown that vipoglanstat can reduce pain and lesion load, and previous clinical studies have confirmed its safety and tolerability. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting around 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with significant pain and infertility. Gesynta Pharma's research on targeting mPGES-1 originated at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, and the company is also developing another candidate, GS-073, for chronic inflammatory pain.

Giudice, Dr. Christian Becker, Dr. Sawsan As-Sanie, and Dr. Marie-Madeleine Dolmans, each with significant experience in endometriosis research and treatment.
