Travere Therapeutics to Present Abstracts at the Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders and Genetic Metabolic Dieticians International

SAN DIEGO, April 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Travere Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: TVTX) today announced that the Company will present eight posters in classical homocystinuria (HCU) at Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (SIMD) in Charlotte, North Carolina from April 14-17, 2024, and Genetic Metabolic Dieticians International (GMDI) in Charlotte, North Carolina from April 17-20, 2024.

At SIMD and GMDI, the Company will present the trial design of the pivotal Phase 3 HARMONY Study of pegtibatinase, a novel investigational enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of classical HCU. Additionally, the Company will share insights on the development of an innovative tool used for dietary management and monitoring in the Phase 3 HARMONY Study and open-label extension ENSEMBLE Study, and the positive results from cohort 6 in the placebo-controlled Phase 1/2 COMPOSE Study of pegtibatinase in classical HCU.

“Classical HCU is an isolating and devastating rare disorder with very limited treatment options, including adherence to highly restrictive diets, leaving patients and their caregivers with immense challenges,” said Jula Inrig, M.D., chief medical officer of Travere Therapeutics. “We look forward to participating at both of these prestigious metabolic medical meetings, and we are excited about our work pioneering the first potential disease-modifying treatment for the thousands of people affected by classical HCU.”

About Classical Homocystinuria

Classical homocystinuria (HCU) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme cystathionine beta synthase (CBS). CBS is a pivotal enzyme that is essential for the management of methionine and cysteine in the body. Classical HCU leads to toxic levels of homocysteine that can result in life-threatening thrombotic events such as stroke, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, ophthalmologic and skeletal complications, as well as developmental delay. Current treatment options are limited to protein-restricted diet and use of vitamin B6 and betaine.

About Pegtibatinase

Pegtibatinase is an investigational PEGylated, recombinant enzyme replacement therapy designed to address the underlying cause of classical homocystinuria (HCU). In preclinical studies, pegtibatinase has demonstrated an ability to reduce total homocysteine levels and improve clinical parameters. Pegtibatinase is currently advancing in the ongoing Phase 1/2 COMPOSE Study to assess its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical effects in patients with classical HCU. In May 2023, the Company announced that data from four patients treated with the highest dose of pegtibatinase showed a clinically meaningful 67.1% mean relative reduction in total homocysteine from baseline and was generally well-tolerated after 12 weeks of treatment. To date, the pegtibatinase program has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation, Rare Pediatric Disease and Fast Track designations by the FDA, as well as Orphan Drug designation in the U.S. and Europe.

In addition, expressions of our strategies, intentions or plans are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding pegtibatinase as the first potential disease-modifying treatment for classical homocystinuria, references to the HARMONY study and the other studies described herein, including statements regarding expectations related thereto, and statements regarding the development of an innovative tool used for dietary management and monitoring. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations.

Specifically, the Company faces risks related to the timing and potential outcome of the FDA’s potential acceptance for filing and review of the sNDA submission for full approval of FILSPARI in IgAN, and the timing and potential outcome of the European Commission’s decision regarding conditional marketing authorization of sparsentan for IgAN. There is no guarantee that the FDA will accept the sNDA submission for filing, that the European Commission will grant conditional marketing authorization of sparsentan for IgAN, or that regulators will grant full approval of sparsentan for IgAN or FSGS. The Company also faces the risk that it will be unable to raise additional funding that may be required to complete development of any or all of its product candidates, including as a result of macroeconomic conditions; risks relating to the Company's dependence on contractors for clinical drug supply and commercial manufacturing; uncertainties relating to patent protection and exclusivity periods and intellectual property rights of third parties; risks associated with regulatory interactions; and risks and uncertainties relating to competitive products, including current and potential future generic competition with certain of the Company's products, and technological changes that may limit demand for the Company's products. The Company also faces additional risks associated with global and macroeconomic conditions, including health epidemics and pandemics, including risks related to potential disruptions to clinical trials, commercialization activity, supply chain, and manufacturing operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control.
