(Nasdaq: CRNX), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapeutics for rare endocrine diseases and endocrine-related tumors, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided a corporate update. “We’ve seen advancements across our pipeline over the past months, with the commencement of dosing in the Phase 3 PATHFNDR-1 trial of paltusotine in acromegaly and the announcement of data from CRN04894’s Phase 1 program,” said Scott Struthers, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Crinetics. “This program continues to follow the blueprint of paltusotine’s success, as early clinical data have provided proof-of-concept by demonstrating the dose-dependent and clinically-significant pharmacodynamic effects of CRN04894 on a well validated hormonal biomarker.
