The big news here is that the Phase 2 clinical trial met its primary endpoint, as 63% of canvuparatide-treated patients met the prespecified primary composite endpoint with zero contribution from PRN rescue therapy. In the open-label extension, 79% of patients achieved responder status at 6 months.

Kent Hawryluk, President and CEO of MBX Biosciences, said, “These 12-week and 6-month results represent the potential for a meaningful improvement over current treatment options for HP patients and provide a strong foundation for further development. We look forward to sharing additional once-weekly canvuparatide clinical data at an upcoming medical meeting as we prepare for initiation of our Phase 3 trial.”
