Frank Czerwiec, Chief Medical Officer of Sparrow, recently participated in the C-Path Global Impact Conference in Washington DC #CGIC24 on a panel discussion entitled "Refining the Use of Data to Manage Uncertainty” hosted by C-Path PKDOC and CPA-1 consortia Directors Sorin Fedeles and Gina Smith. Frank had the opportunity to describe how Sparrow is developing more patient-friendly trials for Cushing’s syndrome by soliciting and incorporating the feedback from our patient Trial Steering Committee members. #cushings

Sparrow Chief Scientific Officer David Katz spoke with CheckRare about the life-threatening morbidities of Cushing's syndrome and the treatment challenges patients face. Part of the discussion includes how clofutriben, Sparrow’s HSD-1 inhibitor, could address hypercortisolism in the rare disease endogenous Cushing’s while avoiding adrenal insufficiency—a dangerous risk with available treatments. https://lnkd.in/e-YsjEyU

Thank you @Surani Fernando for having us on the Raising Biotech podcast to discuss our mission to spare patients the ravages of glucocorticoids! #biotech #cushings #research
Healthcare & Business Journalist | Editor | Writer | Podcaster | Moderator | Pharma/Biotech and Healthcare Sectors
The latest episode of Raising Biotech is up, this time with Sparrow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In this episode we learn that it's never too late to start a biotech as David A. Katz, founded Sparrow when he "should" have been retiring. David was able to raise $50 million in a Series A in 2020 to help fight the long standing (yet often forgotten) problem of patients suffering from steroid excess -- either from cortisol secreting tumors in Cushing's Syndrome or Autonomous Cortisol Secretion, or as side-effects from common glucocorticoid medications like prednisone and predisolone, which is pretty much every common autoimmune disease. This is another "trash to treasure" type story as David took a deprioritized drug out of a big pharma pipeline and is positioning it in three different clinical programs. David talks about his own journey as the company founder, what it was like to negotiate a drug license with big pharma, pitching to skeptical investors and he shares more details on each clinical trial program and future company visions. Also joining the podcast is Dr Peter Merkel, Chief of the Division of Rheumatology, Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System as well as Dr Leon Henderson-MacLennan, MD, FACP, former medical internist and founder, inThought Research. These experienced experts give us more context on the drug's potential to fill an unmet need amidst an existing treatment landscape. This is quite an inspiring story, as it's taken a lot of patience and persistence to get Sparrow to this point and the company will soon be reaching an inflexion point as it plans for important data readouts this year.
