JERUSALEM , Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX), (“Entera” or the “Company”) a leader in the development of oral peptide and protein replacement therapies in tablet form, today announced that the World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases (WCO–IOF–ESCEO) Scientific Programme Committee has accepted both submitted abstracts related to EB613 for presentation at the WCO–IOF–ESCEO congress. The congress will take place at the Roma Convention Center, Rome, Italy from April 10 to April 13, 2025.
EB613 is being developed as the first once–daily oral anabolic (bone forming) PTH(1–34) tablet treatment to support earlier osteoanabolic intervention, for high–risk post–menopausal women with osteoporosis. In a Placebo–controlled Phase 2 study, 6 months of EB613 treatment demonstrated fast onset of action and robust increases in BMD at all skeletal sites. Further, EB613 induced increases in bone formation (P1NP) and suppression of bone resorption (CTX).
“EFFECTS OF EB613 TABLETS [ORAL PTH(1–34)] ON TRABECULAR AND CORTICAL BONE USING 3D–DXA: POST–HOC RESULTS FROM PHASE 2 STUDY” will be presented as an Oral Presentation Friday April 11 at 10:00 GMT in the Auditorium A.
“EB613 TABLET TREATMENT [ORAL PTH(1–34)] – DOES PK DRIVE BONE MODELING VERSUS BONE REMODELING?” will be presented as a Poster Presentation Friday April 11th – Sunday April 13th 2025.
“We thank our distinguished authors and are looking forward to sharing further mechanistic insights on EB613 with the thousands of top researchers and healthcare professionals who attend WCO–IOF–ESCEO,” said Miranda Toledano, Chief Executive Officer of Entera.
It is estimated that 50 percent of women and 20 percent of men over the age of 50 are at risk of a fragility fractures and approximately 1 in 5 adults will die within the year following a hip fracture. Post menopausal osteoporosis afflicts more women than cancer and cardiovascular disease and is a serious health concern for an estimated 200 million women globally.
EB613 is intended to provide an anabolic ‘boost’ to strengthen skeletal microarchitecture and induce rapid BMD gains, followed by consolidation with an antiresorptive agent. “Available injectable anabolic treatments, while efficacious and recommended across medical guidelines, unfortunately do not provide a viable solution for most patients with high–risk osteoporosis requiring an anabolic intervention. Our EB613 program is being developed to address the treatment chasm in current osteoporosis care and hopefully present a treatment for the majority of patients to adequately manage their bone health with a simple once daily tablet treatment,” Said Toledano.
About Entera Bio
Entera is a clinical stage company focused on developing oral peptide and protein replacement therapies for significant unmet medical needs where an oral tablet form holds the potential to transform the standard of care. The Company leverages on a disruptive and proprietary technology platform (N–Tab™) and its pipeline includes five differentiated, first–in–class oral peptide programs targeting PTH(1–34), GLP–1 and GLP–2. The Company’s most advanced product candidate, EB613 (oral PTH(1–34)), is being developed as the first oral, osteoanabolic (bone building) once–daily tablet treatment for post–menopausal women with low BMD and high–risk osteoporosis. A placebo controlled, dose ranging Phase 2 study of EB613 tablets (n= 161) met primary (PD/bone turnover biomarker) and secondary endpoints (BMD). Entera is preparing to initiate a Phase 3 registrational study for EB613 pursuant to the FDA’s qualification of a quantitative BMD endpoint. The EB612 program is being developed as the first oral PTH(1–34) tablet peptide replacement therapy for hypoparathyroidism. Entera is also developing the first oral oxyntomodulin, a dual targeted GLP1/glucagon peptide, in tablet form for the treatment of obesity; and first oral GLP–2 peptide tablet as an injection–free alternative for patients suffering from rare malabsorption conditions such as short bowel syndrome in collaboration with OPKO Health.
