Exciting news about the Pliant Therapeutics PSC clinical trial preliminary results from their global INTEGRIS-PSC Phase 2a trial for Bexotegrast.
Key findings (stated by the sponsor) include:
“Bexotegrast was well tolerated over 12 weeks of treatment for participants with PSC.”
“Bexotegrast demonstrated antifibrotic activity in a PSC population with suspected moderate to severe liver fibrosis.”
“Bexotegrast showed a dose-dependent trend of reduction in ALP relative to placebo.”
Phase 2 studies are designed to discover drug dosing and safety. More information from the sponsor about these positive interim results can be found at Developing Novel Treatments for Fibrotic Diseases (pliantrx.com) and https://pliantrx.com/pln-74809/.
