The Phase 2 multi-centre clinical trial is designed to investigate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of an enteric micro granule delivery formulation for adrulipase in a titrated dose-escalation study involving about twelve (12) patients. 

The primary efficacy endpoint is the coefficient of fat absorption (CFA), with secondary endpoints of stool weight, signs and symptoms of malabsorption and coefficient of nitrogen absorption (CNA). Topline results from the study are anticipated by mid-2023.

Today’s announcement follows other press releases about the clinical trial, including the completion of patient screening for its ongoing Phase 2 SPAN clinical trial on May 11, 2023, which was one of the last steps before today’s announcement.  

Investors won’t have to wait long for the study results, given that we are in June and the results are expected by the end of July. 

James Sapirstein, First Wave BioPharma’s CEO, commented: “We are very pleased to have reached the enrollment target in our Phase 2b SPAN study of adrulipase. The majority of patients in the study have completed dosing, and the remaining patients are currently being dosed. We remain on track to report topline data in July 2023”.
