Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals said Tuesday the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has granted fast-track designation for the
investigation of the company's lead product candidate, EP-104IAR,
in the treatment of adults with osteoarthritis of the knee.
The clinical-stage biotechnology company said it continues to
advance its ongoing Phase 2 trial evaluating EP-104IAR's safety and
efficacy as a treatment candidate for knee osteoarthritis and
expects to report top-line data results in the second quarter of
this year.
The FDA's fast-track process is designed to help the development
and speed the review of drugs that treat serious conditions and
fill an unmet medical need.
In late May, Eupraxia said it reached the last patient to visit
in its Phase 2 clinical trial of EP-104IAR for osteoarthritis,
milestone toward the completion of the study.
