Ampreloxetine clinical development program to be featured in four presentations at the upcoming International Symposium on The Autonomic Nervous System
Topline results from the ongoing Phase 3 CYPRESS study of ampreloxetine anticipated in Q1 2026

DUBLIN, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:TBPH) today announced that it will be participating at the 36^th International Symposium on the Autonomic Nervous System, organized by the American Autonomic Society (AAS), taking place November 5-8, 2025, in Clearwater Beach, FL. The Company will have one platform presentation and three poster presentations on its clinical development program for ampreloxetine, a potential first-in-class norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) symptoms due to multiple system atrophy (MSA).

"We are excited to have a strong presence at the upcoming International Symposium on the Autonomic Nervous System. Our platform presentation will highlight results from the previous REDWOOD trial, where we observed a durable symptomatic nOH benefit with improvement in activities of daily living in the pre-specified subgroup analysis in patients with MSA treated with ampreloxetine¹," commented Lucy Norcliffe-Kaufmann, Ph.D., Theravance Biopharma's Executive Director of Clinical Science. "Additionally, we are pleased to share the rigorous methodologies we developed based on our previous trial experience to support enrollment and patient retention. By applying these insights, we were well positioned to successfully address the executional challenges associated with clinical studies in rare and severe neurodegenerative diseases."

About Ampreloxetine

Ampreloxetine, an investigational, once-daily, selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). The unique benefits of ampreloxetine treatment reported in MSA patients from Study 0170 included an increase in norepinephrine levels, a favorable impact on blood pressure, clinically meaningful and durable symptom improvement, and no signal for worsening of supine hypertension. In the US, the Company has been granted an Orphan Drug Designation for ampreloxetine for the treatment of symptomatic nOH in patients with MSA and, if results from the ongoing Phase 3 CYPRESS study are supportive, plans to file an NDA for full approval in this indication.

About the Phase 3 CYPRESS (Study 0197) Study

The CYPRESS Study (NCT05696717) is a registrational Phase 3, multi-center, randomized withdrawal study to evaluate the efficacy and durability of ampreloxetine in participants with MSA and symptomatic nOH after 20 weeks of treatment; the primary endpoint of the study is change in the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) composite score. The Study includes four periods: screening, open label (12-week period, participants will receive a single daily 10 mg dose of ampreloxetine), randomized withdrawal (eight-week period, double-blind, placebo-controlled, participants will receive a single daily 10 mg dose of placebo or ampreloxetine), and a long-term treatment extension. Secondary outcome measures include change from baseline in Orthostatic Hypotension Daily Activity Scale (OHDAS) item 1 (activities that require standing for a short time) and item 3 (activities that require walking for a short time).

About the Phase 3 SEQUOIA (Study 0169) and REDWOOD (Study 0170) Studies

Study 0169 (NCT03750552) was a Phase 3, 4-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ampreloxetine compared to placebo in patients with symptomatic nOH (n=195). Patients from Study 0169 were eligible to enter into Study 0170 (NCT03829657), a Phase 3, multi-center, 22-week study comprising a 16-week open-label period and a 6-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period to evaluate the sustained benefit in efficacy and safety of ampreloxetine in patients with symptomatic nOH. The primary endpoint for Study 0170 of treatment failure at week 6 was defined as a worsening of both Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Scale (OHSA) question #1 and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) scores by 1.0 point. After Study 0169 did not meet its primary endpoint, the Company took actions to close out the ongoing clinical program including Study 0170. The study was more than 80% enrolled (n=128/154 planned) despite stopping early. The primary endpoint was not statistically significant for the overall population of patients, which included patients with Parkinson's disease, pure autonomic failure and MSA (odds ratio=0.6; p-value=0.196). The pre-specified subgroup analysis by disease type suggests the benefit seen in patients receiving ampreloxetine was largely driven by MSA patients (n=40). An odds ratio of 0.28 (95% CI: 0.05, 1.22) was observed in MSA patients indicating a 72% reduction in the odds of treatment failure with ampreloxetine compared to placebo. The benefit to MSA patients was observed in multiple endpoints including OHSA composite, Orthostatic Hypotension Daily Activities Scale (OHDAS) composite, Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ) composite and OHSA #1.¹

About Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Symptomatic Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (nOH)

MSA is a progressive brain disorder that affects movement and balance and disrupts the function of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls body functions that are mostly involuntary. One of the most frequent autonomic symptoms associated with MSA is a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing (nOH).² There are approximately 50,000 MSA patients in the US³ and 70-90% of MSA patients experience nOH symptoms.⁴ Despite available therapies, many MSA patients remain symptomatic with nOH.⁵

Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a rare disorder defined as a fall in systolic blood pressure of ⩾20 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of ⩾10 mm Hg, within 3 minutes of standing. Severely affected patients are unable to stand for more than a few seconds because of their decrease in blood pressure, leading to cerebral hypoperfusion and syncope. A debilitating disorder, nOH results in a range of symptoms including dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, fatigue, blurry vision, weakness, trouble concentrating, and head and neck pain.
