Entera Bio Outlines Pivotal Osteoporosis Trial, Names New CEO

  • Following its End of Phase 2 Meeting with the FDA, Entera Bio Ltd ENTX has designed the pivotal study for EB613 as an 18-month double-blind placebo-controlled study, followed by a 6-month open-label transition to alendronate for all patients.
  • The study's primary endpoint employs the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Bone Quality Program (FNIH BQP) total hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD) as a surrogate endpoint to evaluate fracture risk. 
  • FDA re-confirmed that with a well-designed BMD study, EB613 approval would not require a fracture study.
  • The study will also look at secondary endpoints, including changes in the lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD and EB613's effects on biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption.

  • The meeting is expected in H2 2022.
  • Also, Entera appointed Miranda Toledano as CEO as July 15th, 2022, succeeding Spiros Jamas.
