A Study to Investigate PORT-77 Oral Dosing Compared With Placebo in Participants With Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) or X-linked Protoporphyria (XLP)
brief summary
PATHWAY is a Phase 2b/3 clinical study with an Open-Label Extension (OLE). It tests PORT-77 in patients with EPP, EPP2, and XLP. The study has three parts: Part 1: Phase 2b * Find the right dose of PORT-77 to lower PPIX levels in the blood * Test if PORT-77 lowers PPIX levels better than placebo * Check the safety of each dose Part 2: Phase 3 * Test if PORT-77 lowers PPIX levels better than placebo * Test if PORT-77 increases the amount of time patients spend in sunlight each day without pain compared to placebo * Check the safety of PORT-77 Part 3: Open-Label Extension (OLE) * Test the long-term effect of PORT-77 on PPIX levels and time in sun * Monitor long-term safety
detailed description
PATHWAY is a Phase 2b/3, multiregional, multicenter clinical study of PORT-77 in adults and adolescents with EPP or XLP. The study consists of 3 parts: Part 1 (Phase 2b), Part 2 (Phase 3), and Part 3 (OLE).
Part 1 and Part 2 are randomized, quadruple-blinded, placebo-controlled studies. Part 1 is a Phase 2b study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of 2 dose levels of PORT-77. Part 2 is a Phase 3 study designed to confirm the efficacy of the selected PORT-77 dose and to further characterize safety in a larger cohort. All participants who complete Part 1 or Part 2 of the study will have the opportunity to enroll in Part 3 (OLE).
