MIAMI, June 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Urica Therapeutics, Inc. (“Urica” or the “Company”), a Fortress Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBIO) (“Fortress”) subsidiary company focused on the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products to treat gout and other conditions associated with hyperuricemia, today announced topline data from the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating dotinurad in healthy volunteers in the United States (“U.S.”).
- The randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 clinical trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (“PK”) and pharmacodynamics (“PD”) of multiple doses of dotinurad in U.S. healthy subjects.
- Dotinurad was shown to be safe and well tolerated with no severe adverse events observed at any dose level.
- Pharmacodynamic data from the Phase 1 trial were also comparable to the Japanese data where over 1,000 subjects were exposed to dotinurad, including rapid and significant serum uric acid (“sUA”) reduction.
- We are initiating a Phase 1b clinical trial in gout patients in the U.S. this summer and expect to begin pivotal clinical trials in 2024.”
