- The ReMEDy2 Trial Will Assess the Potential of DM199 to Both Improve Recovery After a Stroke and Prevent Stroke Recurrence
- Opportunity to Expand Therapeutic Treatment Window and Eligible Patient Population for Acute Ischemic Stroke for the First Time in Decades
DiaMedica Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:DMAC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel treatments for neurological disorders and kidney diseases, today announced the initiation of the first site for its pivotal ReMEDy2 Trial, a Phase 2/3 clinical study of DM199 for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
The ReMEDy2 Trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 adaptive trial designed to enroll 350 patients at 75 sites in the United States. Patients enrolled in the study will be treated with either DM199 or placebo within 24 hours of the onset of AIS symptoms. The study excludes patients treated with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and those with large vessel occlusions. The study population is representative of the 80% of AIS patients who do not have treatment options today, primarily due to the short treatment window of 4.5 hours required for administration of tPA.
The ReMEDy2 trial has two primary endpoints and is powered for success with either endpoint: 1) recovery from stroke as measured by the well-established modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at day 90, and 2) the rate of ischemic stroke recurrence at day 30. Recurrent strokes represent 25% of all ischemic strokes, often occur in the first few weeks after an initial stroke and are typically more disabling, costly, and fatal than initial strokes. Secondary endpoints for the study will evaluate participant deaths, mRS shift (which shows the treatment effect on participants across the full spectrum of stroke severity) and additional standard stroke scores (NIHSS and Barthel Index scores).
"Our investigators are enthusiastic to study a promising new therapy for their patients with the flexibility of a 24-hour treatment window, particularly given the challenges in emergency medicine today," said Rick Pauls, DiaMedica's Chief Executive Officer. "By either or both improving overall recovery and reducing the risk of a recurrent stroke, DM199 could be the first new therapeutic in 25 years that could meaningfully change outcomes for stroke patients. Stroke represents a significant, unmet medical need for approximately 700,000 patients annually in the U.S. and millions more globally."
"KLK1 has been shown to stabilize plaque and reduce blood pressure, both important factors in stroke patient recovery and prevention of additional strokes," said Scott Kasner, M.D., ReMEDy2 National Principal Investigator and Professor of Neurology and Director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center, University of Pennsylvania. "KLK1's mechanistic activity, clinical data from Asia using the endogenous form of KLK1 in stroke patients and the results from the ReMEDy Phase 2 AIS study provide overwhelming support for our community to study whether a recombinant KLK1 such as DM199 can significantly improve and prolong the lives of our patients."
About DM199
DM199 is a recombinant (synthetic) form of human tissue kallikrein-1 (KLK1). KLK1 is a serine protease (protein) that plays an important role in the regulation of diverse physiological processes including blood flow, inflammation, fibrosis, oxidative stress and neurogenesis via a molecular mechanism that, among other things, increases production of nitric oxide and prostaglandin. KLK1 deficiency may play a role in multiple vascular and fibrotic diseases such as stroke, chronic kidney disease, retinopathy, vascular dementia and resistant hypertension where current treatment options are limited or ineffective. DiaMedica is the first company to have developed a pharmaceutically active recombinant form of the KLK1 protein. The KLK1 protein, in forms produced from porcine pancreas and human urine, has been used to treat patients in Japan, China and Korea for decades. DM199 is currently being studied in patients with acute ischemic stroke and chronic kidney disease.
About Acute Ischemic Stroke and Stroke Recurrence
Stroke is characterized by the rapidly developing loss of brain function due to a blockage of blood flow in the brain. As a result, the affected tissues of the brain becomes inactive and may eventually die. AIS is characterized by interruption of the blood supply by a blood clot (ischemia). Risk factors for stroke include, among other things, advanced age, hypertension (high blood pressure), previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), diabetes, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, atrial fibrillation, physical inactivity and obesity.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control:
- Every year in the United States, approximately 795,000 people experience a stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic). Approximately 610,000 of these are first events and approximately 25%, or 185,000, are recurrent stroke events.
- Approximately one of every 20 deaths in the United States is caused by stroke and is the fifth leading cause of death. On average, someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds and someone dies from a stroke every four minutes.
- Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability and reduces mobility in more than half of stroke survivors aged 65 and over.
- Risk of having a first stroke is nearly twice as high for African Americans as for Caucasians, and African Americans have the highest rate of death due to stroke.

Conference Call and Webcast August 12 at 8:00 am Eastern Time / 7:00 am Central Time
DiaMedica Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:DMAC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel treatments for neurological disorders and kidney diseases, today provided a business update and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. DiaMedica will host a conference call Thursday, August 12, 2021, at 7:00AM Central Time/8:00AM Eastern Time to discuss its business update and second quarter financial results.
Pivotal Phase 2/3 ReMEDy Trial on Track for Summer 2021 Initiation; Prevention of Stroke Recurrence is being Added as Independent Co-Primary Endpoint
DiaMedica's Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an adaptive Phase 2/3 clinical trial of DM199 was accepted by the FDA in mid-May 2021, and the Company expects to formally initiate the study by the end of this summer.
The clinical trial design is a double blinded, placebo controlled, randomized study of approximately 350 participants, based on a 90% powering for statistical significance on the primary endpoint of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at day 90 with 24-hour treatment window from onset of stroke symptoms. The prevention of stroke recurrence is being added as an independent co-primary endpoint for this study based on the statistically significant 13% absolute reduction in severe recurrent strokes observed in the ReMEDy Phase 2 study. Secondary endpoints will include mRS shift, NIHSS and Barthel Index scores, deaths, safety and tolerability measures, and biomarkers relating to KLK1.
The trial population includes acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who are not eligible for and/or who do not receive tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and do not have large vessel occlusions. This group represents up to 80% of all AIS patients, for whom there is no treatment option other than supportive care. DiaMedica believes that the proposed trial has the potential to serve as a pivotal registration study of DM199 in this patient population.
DM199 for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Interim data from the Phase 2 REDUX trial was announced in June 2021. The Company highlights that DM199 demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in kidney function in IgA Nephropathy as measured by simultaneously stabilizing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and decreasing urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). Interim data from 11 subjects with moderate to severe albuminuria (baseline UACR>500) showed an average decrease in UACR of -33% (P=0.002) with stable eGFR.
Additionally, DM199 was well tolerated across all cohorts, with no DM199 related severe adverse events or discontinuations due to drug-related adverse events (AEs). The AEs observed were generally mild to moderate in severity, with the most common being local injection site irritation that resolved without medical intervention.
DiaMedica is preparing to provide a more complete update on the interim study results to be presented at the American Society of Nephrology Annual Meeting in November 2021.
As of July 31, 2021, DiaMedica had enrolled 75 subjects, including 20 African American subjects into Cohort I, 22 subjects with IgAN into Cohort II and completed enrollment with 33 subjects with Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and albuminuria into Cohort III. The Company has continued to experience slower than expected enrollment in the first two Cohorts of the REDUX study and believes this is due to continued concerns of potential study subjects related to visiting clinical study sites. DiaMedica is evaluating the effects of the recent surge in COVID-19 infections related to the Delta variant and will provide an update on the anticipated completion of Cohort I and Cohort II when the Company is able to reasonably estimate timing.
Two Pharma Industry Veterans Added to DiaMedica Board of Directors
In July 2021, the Company announced the election of two experienced executives to its Board of Directors. Joining the Board are:
- Amy Burroughs, has held senior leadership and advisory roles with a broad range of public and private biopharmaceutical companies over the last 20 years. She is currently president and chief executive officer of Cleave Therapeutics, a clinical stage, venture backed oncology company. Previously, she served as executive in residence at 5AM Ventures, a leading venture capital firm focused on building next-generation life science companies, and a senior advisor to Crinetics (NASDAQ:CRNX). She began her biopharmaceutical career at Genentech, where she held key roles in commercial strategy and planning across the portfolio and led the neurology commercial team.
- Charles Semba, M/D., has over 20 years of drug development experience in public and private biotechnology companies and is a recognized expert in endovascular therapy, thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and endovascular surgery. He is Chief Medical Officer (CMO) at Eluminex Biosciences and has served as CMO for SARcode Bioscience (acquired by Shire/Takeda), ForSight VISION5 (acquired by Allergan), and Graybug Vision (NASDAQ:GRAY). He has held senior leadership roles as Vice President Ophthalmic Medicine at Shire/Takeda and Ophthalmology Group Head at Genentech. Dr. Semba led the clinical development of ranibizumab (LUCENTIS®) and lifitegrast (XIIDRA®). He also led FDA approval for CathFlo Activase® (Alteplase) for ischemic stroke.
Financial Results
Research and development (R&D) expenses increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, up from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $0.6 million. R&D expenses increased to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $1.7 million. The increase for the six-month comparison was primarily due to a number of factors including costs incurred for the pivotal ReMEDy2 clinical study, increased year-over-year costs related to manufacturing process development and the REDUX Phase 2 CKD study, as well as increased personnel costs associated with additional staff added to support R&D operations. These increases were partially offset by decreased costs incurred for the ReMEDy Phase 2 stroke study which completed in the prior year.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, up from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. G&A expenses increased to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, up $0.2 million from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase for the six-month comparison was primarily due to increased professional services costs and increased personnel costs to support the Company's expanding clinical programs.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $21.3 million, current liabilities of $1.4 million and working capital of $20.2 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $27.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, $2.0 million in current liabilities and $25.9 million in working capital as of December 31, 2020. The decreases in combined cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and in working capital are due primarily to increased clinical study costs associated with preparing for the ReMEDy2 Phase 2/3 stroke study, costs related to the REDUX Phase 2 CKD study and increased costs related manufacturing development.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.4 million compared to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase relates primarily to the increase in the net loss, partially offset by non-cash share-based compensation and the effects of the changes in operating assets and liabilities.
