About Entera Bio
Entera is a leader in the development of orally delivered macromolecules, including peptides and other therapeutic proteins. The Company focuses on significant unmet medical needs where a mini daily tablet form of a peptide treatment or replacement therapy holds the potential to transform the standard of care. The Company’s most advanced product candidates, EB613 for the treatment of high risk, post-menopausal osteoporosis and EB612 for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism, are in clinical development. EB613 is the first oral, once daily mini tablet presentation of synthetic hPTH (1-34), (teriparatide), consisting of the exact same 34 amino acid sequence as daily subcutaneous teriparatide injection, Forteo®, which requires daily SC injections. A placebo controlled, dose ranging Phase 2 study of EB613 tablets (n= 161) met primary (PD/biomarker) and secondary endpoints (BMD) in a dose dependent manner, and was presented at the ASBMR 2021 Annual Conference. In October 2022, the Company announced concurrence with FDA that a single, placebo controlled, BMD endpoint pivotal study design could support an NDA for EB613 Oral PTH tablets under 505(b)2. On February 15th, 2022, Entera announced the acceptance of a Type D Meeting with FDA to confirm that its Phase 3 protocol fully meets FDA’s expectations, including the analysis of the primary endpoint and the population PK evaluations. A phase 1 PK study of novel PTH formulations is planned for H1 2023 to ascertain feasibility of a new hypo candidate (a prior formulation had positive Phase 2a data announced in 2015 and published in JBMR 2019) and for another potential indication.
