Yahoo Finance Here's Why You Should Invest in Entera Bio (ENTX) Stock Now
Entera Bio ENTX makes oral peptide therapies, validating its disruptive N-Tab oral peptide proprietary technology platform.
Its leading pipeline candidate is EB613, an oral, osteoanabolic (bone building) once-daily tablet for treating osteoporosis, a bone disease that develops when bone mass decreases, leading to an increase in the risk of fractures. A phase IIb study of the EB613 tablets met the primary and secondary endpoints.
Entera Bio plans to begin a phase III registrational study on EB613 once the FDA qualifies the treatment-related change in bone mineral density (BMD) as a surrogate endpoint for fractures in future studies of new anti-osteoporosis drugs. In late March, it was announced that the FDA would issue its ruling on qualifying BMD as a surrogate endpoint for osteoporosis drugs in 10 months.
No new drugs have been approved by the FDA for osteoporosis since 2019 due to ethical concerns and the costs of fracture endpoint studies. Entera Bio believes that an oral anabolic treatment like EB613 has the potential to become a game changer in osteoporosis treatments.
Its pipeline also includes EB612, an oral peptide replacement therapy tablet for hypoparathyroidism and oral oxyntomodulin, a dual-targeted GLP1/glucagon peptide tablet for obesity.
Entera Bio plans to advance five potential first-in-class oral peptide programs into clinical development (phase I to phase III) in 2025. Each of these programs is expected to have important catalysts during 2024.
Entera Bio’s stock has surged 117.7% in the past year against a decrease of 13.5% for the industry.
