Entera’s EB613, the First Once Daily PTH(1-34) Tablet Treatment Dedicated to Post-Menopausal Women with High Risk Osteoporosis Abstract Selected for Presentation at the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting - Key SABRE Update Also Expected


JERUSALEM, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX) (“Entera” or the “Company”), a leader in the development of orally delivered peptides and therapeutic proteins, today announced that new comparative pharmacological data for its investigational agent EB613 vs. Forteo® was selected for presentation at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) 2024 Annual Meeting which will be held on September 27-30, 2024 in Toronto, ON, Canada.

EB613 is being developed as the first once-daily oral anabolic (bone forming) PTH(1-34) mini tablet therapy for post-menopausal women with high risk osteoporosis. It is estimated that 50 percent of women and 20 percent of men over the age of 50 are at risk of a fragility fractures and approximately 1 in 5 adults will die within the year following a hip fracture. Post menopausal osteoporosis afflicts more women than cancer and cardiovascular disease and is a serious health concern for an estimated 200 million women globally.

“Available injectable anabolic treatments, while efficacious and recommended across medical guidelines, unfortunately do not provide a viable solution for most women with high-risk osteoporosis requiring an anabolic intervention. Our EB613 program is dedicated to address the treatment chasm in current osteoporosis care and hopefully present a treatment for the majority of women to adequately manage their post-menopause bone health with a simple once daily tablet treatment. Importantly, we look forward to the SABRE (Study to Advance BMD as a Regulatory Endpoint) UPDATE at the ASBMR 2024 meeting. On March 26th 2024, Entera echoed the ASBMR announcement that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had communicated to SABRE that a ruling to qualify bone mineral density (BMD) as a surrogate endpoint for fractures in future trials of new anti-osteoporosis drugs would be provided within 10 months. The proposed registrational Phase 3 study for EB613, is designed to meet the quantitative BMD thresholds proposed by SABRE,” said Miranda Toledano, Chief Executive Officer at Entera.

About Entera Bio

Entera is a clinical stage company focused on developing oral peptide or protein replacement therapies for significant unmet medical needs where an oral tablet form holds the potential to transform the standard of care. The Company leverages on a disruptive and proprietary technology platform (N-Tab™) and its pipeline includes five differentiated, first-in-class oral peptide programs, expected to enter the clinic (Phase 1 to Phase 3) by 2025. The Company’s most advanced product candidate, EB613 (oral PTH (1-34)), is being developed as the first oral, osteoanabolic (bone building) once-daily tablet treatment for post-menopausal women with low BMD and high-risk osteoporosis, with no prior fracture. A placebo controlled, dose ranging Phase 2 study of EB613 tablets (n= 161) met primary (PD/bone turnover biomarker) and secondary endpoints (BMD). Entera is preparing to initiate a Phase 3 registrational study for EB613 pursuant to the FDA’s qualification of a quantitative BMD endpoint which is expected to occur by January 2025. The EB612 program is being developed as the first oral PTH(1-34) tablet peptide replacement therapy for hypoparathyroidism. Entera is also developing the first oral oxyntomodulin, a dual targeted GLP1/glucagon peptide, in tablet form for the treatment of obesity; and first oral GLP-2 peptide tablet as an injection-free alternative for patients suffering from rare malabsorption conditions such as short bowel syndrome in collaboration with OPKO Health.
