Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced Continued progress in the two ongoing Phase 3 PATHFNDR trials of paltusotine in acromegaly. Both trials remain on track and topline data is expected in 2023. The initiation of patient dosing in a Phase 2 trial of paltusotine in patients with carcinoid syndrome associated with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which is expected in 2022. Reporting Phase 1 multiple ascending dose (MAD) data for CRN04894, an investigational, oral, nonpeptide adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) antagonist being developed for the treatment of Cushings disease and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which is expected in First Quarter 2022. The initiation of a Phase 2 trial of CRN04894, which is expected in 2H 2022. Reporting Phase 1 MAD data for CRN04777, an investigational, oral, nonpeptide somatostatin receptor type 5 (SST5) agonist being developed for the treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism, which is expected in First Quarter 2022. The initiation of a Phase 2 trial of CRN04777, which is expected in 2H 2022. The initiation of IND-enabling studies for a parathyroid receptor type-1 (PTHR1) antagonist, which is expected in 2022. Target indications for this program potentially include hyperparathyroidism and humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
