JERUSALEM, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX), a leader in the development of oral peptides and protein replacement therapies, announced today that in a written response to a Type A meeting request, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed with the Company’s proposal that the NDA marketing application filing for EB613 would be supported by a single multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 24 month phase 3 study in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, where change in total hip BMD is evaluated as the primary endpoint, and incidence of new or worsening vertebral fractures is evaluated as the key secondary endpoint. This marks a shift from precedent placebo-controlled phase 3 studies of new osteoporosis drugs which required incidence of fracture as the primary endpoint. “This regulatory update is a major milestone for Entera and the entire osteoporosis community,” said Miranda Toledano, CEO of Entera. “Our alignment with the FDA reflects the strength of our data and collaborative discussions. Importantly, it allows us to advance our clinical development program without having to wait for FDA’s qualification of the Study to Advance Bone Mineral Density as a Regulatory Endpoint (SABRE), which is still expected this year. We thank the FDA and the Review Team at the Division of Endocrinology for their constructive approach. We also thank the SABRE team for paving the path to innovation for osteoporosis treatment,” said Toledano. “Osteoporosis afflicts more women than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined. Over 200 million women globally are estimated to have osteoporosis and remain vastly undertreated, despite efficacious injectable anabolic (bone forming) treatments. One in two women over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture due to osteoporosis. No new drug for osteoporosis has been approved by FDA since 2019; and innovation has stalled for close to a decade due to the size, duration, cost and ethical constraints associated with fracture endpoint studies. In a silent disease, patient and clinician access to novel and alternative forms of validated mechanisms of action is important. We are developing EB613 as the first oral, once-daily anabolic tablet treatment to potentially serve this unmet medical need. EB613 is intended to increase skeletal mass, improve bone microarchitecture and reduc...
