Dogwood Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DWTX) announced plans to begin patient dosing in Q1 2025 for its Phase 2b clinical trial (HALT-CINP) evaluating Halneuron®, a first-in-class Nav 1.7 inhibitor for treating chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP). The drug has shown promising results in previous trials, demonstrating statistically significant reduction in cancer-related pain with an acceptable safety profile across over 700 patients, and importantly, shows no addiction potential.
The company is targeting a significant unmet medical need, as one-third of patients treated with certain chemotherapeutics develop chronic painful neuropathy, with no currently approved treatments. The CINP market is valued at approximately $1.5B, representing a substantial opportunity for Dogwood Therapeutics.
