SAN DIEGO, June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRNX) today presented findings from its clinical development program evaluating oral, once-daily investigational paltusotine in acromegaly. Data presented included results of the Phase 3 PATHFNDR-2 trial, a new analysis of patient reported outcome (PRO) data from the Phase 3 PATHFNDR-1 trial, and interim long-term efficacy and safety results at 42 months from the open-label ACROBAT Advance extension study. The data were presented today at the Endocrine Society’s Annual Meeting (ENDO2024), with findings from PATHFNDR-1 published as a manuscript in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Key Points: 
  • Among those treated with paltusotine, a reduction in IGF-1 levels occurred in 92.6% of patients (n=50/54) by the end of treatment.
  • The frequency of participants with at least one treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) was comparable in the paltusotine treatment arm and placebo arm.
  • Findings clearly demonstrated that once-daily, oral paltusotine maintained biochemical and symptom control in patients with acromegaly switched from SRL.
  • Once-daily oral paltusotine treatment was well-tolerated, with stable biochemical and symptom control, comparable to that observed with prior injected SRLs.
