Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, November 7, 2023

The Phase 3 double-blind, randomized NefIgArd study evaluated the impact of Nefecon, a novel targeted-release formulation of budesonide, vs placebo on eGFR in adults with IgAN.

Key Points: 
  • The Phase 3 double-blind, randomized NefIgArd study evaluated the impact of Nefecon, a novel targeted-release formulation of budesonide, vs placebo on eGFR in adults with IgAN.
  • The 2-year study period consisted of nine months of treatment with Nefecon (16 mg/day) or placebo, followed by a 15-month follow-up period off the study drug.
  • Levels of secretory IgA and fatty acid-binding protein, a gut permeability marker, were unchanged at these same time points.
  • Together, these biomarker data add to the body of evidence supporting a disease-modification effect for Nefecon, including modulation of immune complex formation.

WATERTOWN, Mass., Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELOX), a leader in ribosomal RNA-targeted genetic therapies for rare diseases, today reported additional independent confirmation on the positive TEM assessment results from its proof-of-concept Phase 2 open-label clinical trial (NCT05448755) of ELX-02 for the treatment of Alport syndrome after eight weeks of treatment. Visual assessment of TEM images from kidney biopsies showed an improvement in foot process effacement in all three treated patients consistent with disease regression. Alport syndrome is a rare genetic kidney disorder caused by mutations in COL4A3/4/5 genes, characterized by podocyte injury and impaired kidney filter function leading to proteinuria.

Key Points: 
  • Visual assessment of TEM images from kidney biopsies showed an improvement in foot process effacement in all three treated patients consistent with disease regression.
  • Alport syndrome is a rare genetic kidney disorder caused by mutations in COL4A3/4/5 genes, characterized by podocyte injury and impaired kidney filter function leading to proteinuria.
  • Eloxx recently submitted an Investigational New Drug application (IND) to the FDA for ELX-02 for the treatment of Alport syndrome with nonsense mutations.
  • The IND, if allowed, would enable the inclusion of U.S.-based sites in the planned pivotal trial.
