The planned Phase 3 trial in approximately 750 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, with a primary endpoint of total hip bone mineral density (BMD) at Month 12, would support Entera’s plan to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) for EB613Entera expects to submit its NDA for EB613 based on 12-month data, with an open-label extension study to follow patients through 24 months to supplement EB613’s safety, durability of effect and sequence dataPhase 3 initiation is planned for late 2026 with topline data anticipated in the second half of 2028 TEL AVIV, June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX) (“Entera” or the “Company”), a leader in the development of oral peptides, today announced that it has received positive feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on its Phase 3 registrational protocol for EB613 (oral PTH(1-34), teriparatide), the first oral anabolic (bone-building) tablet in development for the treatment of osteoporosis. The FDA feedback is in response to a Clinical Amendment submitted by Entera to its Investigational New Drug (IND) application, as announced in March 2026. The FDA accepted Entera’s plan to conduct a single, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 trial in approximately 750 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, with a primary endpoint of percent change from baseline in total hip BMD at Month 12 to support a potential New Drug Application (NDA) submission for EB613 for the treatment of women with post-menopausal osteoporosis. The proposed NDA package will also include Entera’s scientific bridge analysis with Forteo® (teriparatide SC injection, Eli Lilly) under the 505(b)(2) pathway, and a transiliac crest bone biopsy sub-study in a subset of patients. The FDA also agreed with Entera’s proposal to continue following the randomized patients out to 24 months in an open-label extension study under a separate protocol. Entera will plan to submit data through up to 18 months as part of the 120-day safety update to its NDA. Additionally, Entera will submit the complete 2-year data upon completion of the open-label extension study to characterize further the durability of the treatment effect, safety, and sequence data for EB613 followed by a standard anti-resorptive therapy for 12 months. The registrational study is powered to demonstrate EB613’s clinical effectiveness with projected inc...
