Allena Reaches Agreement With FDA For Revised Design For Hyperoxaluria Drug Trial

Allena Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:ALNA) has reached an agreement with the FDA on a streamlined design for URIROX-2, the second pivotal clinical trial for reloxaliase, which is being evaluated for treating severe hyperoxaluria.

Following the higher-than-projected kidney stone and urinary oxalate observed in the completed first pivotal Phase 3 URIROX-1 trial and the subsequent engagement with the FDA, the company said it is reducing the target enrollment from 400 subjects to 200 subjects to support a BLA. The FDA has also agreed to a have the first sample size reassessment once 130 subjects reach six months of treatment, rather than 240 subjects.

The study is to include a new sponsor-blinded estimation of conditional probability of achieving the study's primary and key secondary endpoints at the time of the first sample size reassessment.

Allena said the streamlining will potentially reduce the target length and cost of the trial. The company said it plans to submit a protocol amendment for the revised trial design in the first quarter of 2020, and release interim analysis in the third quarter of 2021.
