    MIAMI, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortress Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBIO) ("Fortress") and its majority-owned subsidiary, Cyprium Therapeutics, Inc. ("Cyprium"), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has issued a Complete Response Letter ("CRL") relating to the New Drug Application ("NDA") for CUTX-101 (copper histidinate), intended to treat Menkes disease in pediatric patients.

    In December 2023, Sentynl Therapeutics, Inc. ("Sentynl"), a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company wholly-owned by Zydus Lifesciences, Ltd. ("Zydus Group") assumed full responsibility for the development and commercialization of CUTX-101 from Cyprium. Cyprium expects its partner, Sentynl, will work expeditiously to address the FDA's concerns and pursue resubmission promptly.

    The CRL noted cGMP deficiencies had been observed at the facility where CUTX-101 is manufactured. The facility recently provided responses to the FDA's September 2025 re-inspection of the facility, and Sentynl expects to request a meeting with the FDA to discuss the CRL and resubmission of the CUTX-101 NDA. The CRL did not cite any other approvability concerns, nor did it identify any deficiencies in CUTX-101's efficacy and safety data.

    Pursuant to the transaction with Sentynl, Sentynl will transfer to Cyprium, if issued upon approval, a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher ("PRV"), and Cyprium will also be eligible to receive royalties on net sales of CUTX-101 and up to $129 million in aggregate development and sales milestones from Sentynl.

    The CUTX-101 NDA was initially granted Priority Review by the FDA and is supported by positive topline clinical efficacy results for CUTX-101, demonstrating significant improvement in overall survival for Menkes disease subjects who received early treatment with CUTX-101.

    About Menkes Disease

    Menkes disease is a rare X-linked recessive pediatric disease caused by gene mutations of the copper transporter ATP7A. The minimum birth prevalence for Menkes disease is believed to be 1 in 34,810 live male births, and potentially as high as 1 in 8,664 live male births, based on recent genome-based ascertainment (Kaler SG, Ferreira CR, Yam LS. Estimated birth prevalence of Menkes disease and ATP7A-related disorders based on the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports 2020 June 5;24:100602). The condition is characterized by distinctive clinical features, including sparse and depigmented hair ("kinky hair"), connective tissue problems, and severe neurological symptoms such as seizures, hypotonia, failure to thrive, and neurodevelopmental delays. Mortality is high in untreated Menkes disease, with many patients dying between 2-3 years of age. Milder versions of ATP7A mutations are associated with other conditions, including Occipital Horn Syndrome and ATP7A-related Distal Motor Neuropathy. Currently, there is no FDA-approved treatment for Menkes disease and its variants.

    About Cyprium Therapeutics

    Cyprium Therapeutics, Inc. ("Cyprium") is focused on the development of novel therapies for the treatment of Menkes disease and related copper metabolism disorders. In March 2017, Cyprium entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development ("NICHD"), part of the NIH, to advance the clinical development of CUTX-101 (Copper Histidinate injection) for the treatment of Menkes disease. CUTX-101 is an investigational drug currently under FDA review to treat patients with Menkes disease. In 2023, Cyprium completed the transfer of its proprietary rights and assigned its FDA documents pertaining to CUTX-101 to Sentynl Therapeutics, Inc. Cyprium and NICHD also have an ongoing worldwide, exclusive license agreement to develop and commercialize adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy, called AAV-ATP7A, to deliver working copies of the copper transporter that is defective in patients with Menkes disease, and to be used in combination with CUTX-101; AAV-ATP7A gene therapy is currently in pre-clinical development and has received FDA Orphan Drug Designation. Cyprium was founded by, and is a majority-owned subsidiary of, Fortress Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBIO). For more information, visit www.cypriumtx.com.
