Easyef® Spray Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor Easyef® Spray General Information What is EGF? Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a single-chain polypeptide consisting of 53 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 6,200 Daltons. Six cysteine residues in the sequence of hEGF from three disulfide bonds are required for hEGF to be biologically active. EGF was first isolated from the submaxillary glands of adult male mice. Human EGF was discovered in human urine as an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. Today, hEGF has become one of the most attractive growth factors in life sciences as well as biotechnological fields. Human EGF is a potent stimulator of epithelial and endothelial cells and fibroblast proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, which results in its potential as a promising healing agent for the treatment of various skin and corneal wounds. In dermatology, EGF can be used as a healing agent for skin wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, bed sores, venous stasis ulcers, skin burns and surgical incisions. In ophthalmology, EGF can be utilized as a healing agent for corneal ulcers and ophthalmic surgery, such as corneal transplantation and excimer laser keratectomy, and the prevention of corneal degeneration. It is also a good candidate for the treatment of gastric ulcers because it inhibits gastric acid secretion and regenerates gastric mucosal layer. 1 Easyef® Spray Mechanism of EGF Action 1. Re-epithelialization EGF promotes epithelial cells to proliferate and move to fill wounds. 2. Promotion of granulation tissue EGF stimulates fibroblasts in dermal tissue to facilitate dermal cells to differentiate and proliferate. 3. Angiogenesis EGF promotes endothelial cells to proliferate to regenerate blood vessels. 2 Easyef® Spray Clinical Study Diabetic Foot Ulcer (Phase II) ► Indication: Diabetic foot ulcer, Grade 2 and 3 by Wagner classification ► Methodology: Double-blind, controlled, randomized comparative method, multi-center study ► Dose strength: Easyef® Spray (10 μg/ml and 50 μg/ml), placebo ► Treatment: Sprayed on wound area twice a day for 12 weeks ► Primary endpoint: Complete healing rate of foot ulcer ► Result: Easyef® Spray accelerated healing of diabetic foot ulcer and apparently increased the percentage of complete healing. Comparison of Complete Healing Rate Case Example 3 Easyef® Spray Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis (Phase II) ► Indication: Oral mucositis in patients receiving radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy ► Methodology: Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized comparative method, multicenter study ► Dose strength: Easyef® Spray (10 μg/ml, 50 μg/ml and 100 μg/ml), placebo ► Treatment: Sprayed on wound area twice a day for 5 weeks ► Primary endpoint: Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) scale for acute mucosal morbidity ► Result: Easyef® Spray conveys a therapeutic effect and local application of Easyef® Spray significantly reduces the incidence of severe oral mucositis. Proportion of Patients with Oral Mucositis (RTOG scale: ≥ 3) Case Example (a) (b) Appearances of oral mucosa at treatment week four. (a) No change of oral mucosa over baseline (RTOG grade 0) in responders to EGF (b) RTOG grade 3 confluent mucositis in placebo arm 4 Easyef® Spray Oral Mucositis Induced by Chemotherapy with SCT (Phase II, Interim analysis) ► Indication: Oral mucositis induced by intensive chemotherapy with SCT for hematologic malignancies ► Methodology: Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, prospective study ► Dose strength: Easyef® Spray (50 μg/ml), placebo ► Treatment: Sprayed on wound area twice a day ► Primary endpoint: Incidence and duration of oral mucositis ► Result: Easyef® Spray significantly reduced the limitation of swallowing and drinking, the duration of TPN use and hospitalization in patients with WHO grade 3-4 oral mucositis.
