SIGA's tecovirimat misses primary endpoint in PALM 007 mpox trial; shows benefit in subgroups
SIGA TECHNOLOGIES INC
- PALM 007 did not meet primary endpoint of statistically significant improvement in time to lesion resolution.
- Tecovirimat showed clinical benefit vs. placebo in patients treated ≤7 days from symptom onset and those with ≥100 lesions.
- Safety profile comparable to placebo; consistent with prior studies over 15 years.
- Four additional randomized trials (STOMP, UNITY, Platinum-CAN, EPOXI) are ongoing.
- Trial hospitalized all patients, which may have reduced measured benefit vs. real-world settings.
