(NASDAQ: ENTX) (“Entera” or the “Company”) a leader in the development of orally delivered peptides and therapeutic proteins, today announced that Steven R. Goldstein, MD, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York University School of Medicine and former President of The International Menopause Society, the North American Menopause Society and recipient of the Clarkson Award from NAMS for lifetime achievement in menopause research will be joining its Clinical and Scientific Advisory Board (CSAB). “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Goldstein, a world-renowned leader in menopause and women’s health, to our CSAB and look forward to working with him along with our esteemed endocrinology experts at this critical time for our EB613 program.

Unfortunately, much of the undertreatment of osteoporosis and the missed opportunity to reduce fractures stems from lack of oral anabolic agents.

An oral PTH analogue would be extremely useful in helping so many of these women,” stated Dr. Steven R. Goldstein. 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 daily mini 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 developmen...
