Talphera (Nasdaq: TLPH) has announced the enrollment of the first patient in its NEPHRO CRRT registrational trial, evaluating nafamostat for anticoagulation in extracorporeal circuits. The study will involve 166 patients across 14 clinical sites in the United States. The primary endpoint is the mean post-filter activated clotting time over the first 24 hours, comparing nafamostat to placebo.

Dr. Stuart Goldstein, a renowned nephrologist, enrolled the first patient. Nafamostat has been a standard of care in Japan and South Korea for over 30 years, and Talphera aims to make it available in the U.S. market if approved. The company views this as a significant milestone in addressing the limitations of current anticoagulation options for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).

Talphera (Nasdaq: TLPH) hat die Einschreibung des ersten Patienten in seine registrierte NEPHRO CRRT-Studie bekannt gegeben, in der Nafamostat zur Antikoagulation in extrakorporalen Kreisläufen evaluiert wird. Die Studie wird 166 Patienten an 14 klinischen Standorten in den Vereinigten Staaten einbeziehen. Das primäre Ziel ist die mittlere aktivierte Gerinnungszeit nach dem Filter über die ersten 24 Stunden, wobei Nafamostat mit einem Placebo verglichen wird.

Dr. Stuart Goldstein, ein angesehener Nephrologe, hat den ersten Patienten eingeschrieben. Nafamostat ist seit über 30 Jahren ein Standardbehandlungsansatz in Japan und Südkorea, und Talphera strebt an, es auf dem US-Markt verfügbar zu machen, sofern es genehmigt wird. Das Unternehmen betrachtet dies als einen bedeutenden Meilenstein, um die Einschränkungen der aktuellen Antikoagulationsoptionen für die kontinuierliche Nierenersatztherapie (CRRT) anzugehen.

Positive
  • Enrollment of first patient in NEPHRO CRRT registrational trial
  • Potential to address disadvantages of current U.S. anticoagulation products for extracorporeal circuits
  • Nafamostat has been standard of care in Japan and South Korea for over 30 years
Negative
  • None.

The initiation of the NEPHRO CRRT registrational trial for nafamostat marks a significant milestone in Talphera's clinical development program. This 166-patient study aims to evaluate nafamostat's efficacy in anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a critical procedure for patients with acute kidney injury.

The trial's design, focusing on the mean post-filter activated clotting time over the first 24 hours, is a robust primary endpoint that directly addresses the key performance metric for anticoagulants in CRRT. The involvement of Dr. Stuart Goldstein, a renowned nephrologist, adds credibility to the study and may facilitate faster patient recruitment.

If successful, nafamostat could provide a new anticoagulation option for CRRT in the U.S., potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing complications associated with current anticoagulants. However, investors should note that the road to FDA approval is still long and success is not guaranteed despite nafamostat's established use in Japan and South Korea.

The commencement of the NEPHRO CRRT trial is a positive development for Talphera (NASDAQ: TLPH), potentially expanding its product pipeline. While the financial impact is not immediate, successful trial results could lead to a new revenue stream in the future.

Investors should consider the market potential for nafamostat in the U.S. CRRT market, which could be substantial given the high incidence of acute kidney injury in intensive care units. However, it's important to factor in the costs associated with conducting the trial across 14 clinical sites and the time required for potential FDA approval.

Talphera's focus on therapies for medically supervised settings positions it in a niche market with potentially less competition. The company's ability to bring nafamostat, an established product in Asian markets, to the U.S. could be viewed favorably by investors as a lower-risk development strategy. Keep an eye on future trial updates and potential partnerships that could accelerate the path to commercialization.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Talphera, Inc. (Nasdaq: TLPH), ("Talphera"), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for use in medically supervised settings, today announced the first patient has been enrolled in the NEPHRO CRRT study.

The NEPHRO CRRT registrational study will enroll 166 patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) at up to 14 clinical sites across the United States. The primary endpoint of the study is the mean post-filter activated clotting time for circuits infused with nafamostat versus placebo over the first 24 hours.

"We are excited to be able to offer participation in this nafamostat study to our patients requiring CRRT," stated Stuart Goldstein, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Center for Acute Care Nephrology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "Nafamostat, if approved following this trial, will be a valuable addition to our anticoagulant options for many patients."

"We are pleased the first patient was enrolled in the study last week. Nafamostat has the potential to address disadvantages of the currently available U.S. products used for anticoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit. Enrolling the first patient in the NEPHRO study is the first of what we believe will be several important milestones for Talphera," stated Dr. Shakil Aslam, Chief Development Officer at Talphera. "Nafamostat has been used, and is a standard of care, in Japan and South Korea for over 30 years and we're excited about the prospects of making nafamostat available to healthcare providers in the United States, if approved," continued Dr. Aslam.

About Niyad and nafamostat

Nafamostat is a broad spectrum, synthetic serine protease inhibitor with anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory and potential anti-viral activities. Niyad™ is a lyophilized formulation of nafamostat and is currently being studied under an IDE, as an anticoagulant for the extracorporeal circuit, and has received Breakthrough Device Designation Status from the FDA. Talphera's registrational study of Niyad™ is named the NEPHRO CRRT (Nafamostat Efficacy in Phase 3 Registrational Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy) study. An ICD-10 procedural code, XY0YX37, has been issued for the extracorporeal introduction of nafamostat. The ICD-10 code is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure. LTX-608 is a proprietary nafamostat formulation for direct IV infusion that may be investigated and developed for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), acute pancreatitis or as an anti-viral treatment, amongst other potential targets.

About the NEPHRO CRRT Study

The NEPHRO Study, which has received central IRB approval, is designed as a prospective, double-blinded trial to be conducted at up to 14 U.S. hospital intensive care units. The study will enroll and evaluate 166 adult patients undergoing renal replacement therapy, who cannot tolerate heparin or are at risk for bleeding. The primary endpoint of the study is mean post-filter activated clotting time using Niyad versus placebo over the first 24 hours. Key secondary endpoints include filter lifespan, number of filter changes over 72 hours, number of transfusions over 72 hours and dialysis efficacy (based on urea concentration) over the first 24 hours.
