DUR-928 (larsucosterol), DURECT's lead drug candidate, binds to and inhibits the activity of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), epigenetic enzymes which are elevated and associated with hypermethylation found in alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) patients.
Larsucosterol (DUR-928) is an endogenous sulfated oxysterol and an epigenetic regulator. Epigenetic regulators are compounds that regulate patterns of gene expression without modifying the DNA sequence.
Study comprised enrollment of 300 patients, with 100 patients in each arm for DUR-928 (larsucosterol), inhibits activity of DNMTs, epigenetic enzymes in AH Patients. Primary outcome measure is 90-day survival rate for patients treated with DUR-928 compared to placebo.
The potential of epigenetic regulator candidate, larsucosterol (also known as DUR-928) is to improve inflammation, cell death, and tissue regeneration in severe Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis.
Larsucosterol (also known as DUR-928), the Company's lead drug candidate, binds to and inhibits the activity of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), epigenetic enzymes which are elevated and associated with hypermethylation found in AH patients.
Ongoing AHFIRM Phase 2b trial in alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) patients while we determine next steps for DUR-928 in NASH and explore additional potential acute and chronic indications.
Phase 1 study assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) of DUR-928 in subjects with moderate (Child-Pugh B scores) and severe (Child-Pugh C scores) hepatic impairment (HI), who received a single oral dose of 200mg DUR-928.
