Protagonist Therapeutics to discontinue Phase 2b PROPEL study of PTG-100 following interim analysis by Independent Data Monitoring Committee
This decision followed a planned interim analysis by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) of unblinded efficacy and safety data from the first 65 patients from the ongoing 240 patient trial who had completed the 12 week treatment with PTG-100. Using pre-specified criteria, the DMC deemed the trial to be futile based on an analysis of the primary endpoint of clinical remission. No safety concerns were noted in the analysis.
- Based on the DMC's recommendation received after the market close on Friday, and while further review of the data is being conducted, Protagonist is notifying PROPEL trial investigators that randomization of potential participants and further treatment of patients currently in the study will be discontinued. Additionally, the Company will postpone its decision about the initiation of a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of PTG-100 in chronic pouchitis until after its full review of the interim data from the UC PROPEL study.
