“Company”), a new type of biopharmaceutical company focused on
genetic diseases, today provided updates on its commercial progress
for Attruby (acoramidis), status of late-stage pipeline programs,
and anticipated 2025 milestones.
“With the FDA’s approval of Attruby, we marked an important
moment for both our organization and the broader ATTR-CM patient
community in need of new treatment options. We’re grateful for the
enthusiasm surrounding the product and the associated initial
commercial momentum, with 430 prescriptions written by 248 unique
physicians, and we look forward to continued progress,” said Neil
Kumar, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of BridgeBio. “Additionally, we are
excited to share that we have completed enrollment of all three of
our major market Phase 3 clinical trials. I look forward to
continuing to work with this stellar team to serve patients with
genetic disease in 2025.”
Business UpdateOn November 22, 2024, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Attruby (acoramidis), a
near-complete TTR stabilizer (≥90%), to reduce cardiovascular death
and cardiovascular-related hospitalization in adult patients with
ATTR-CM, a progressive fatal disease presenting as an infiltrative,
restrictive cardiomyopathy resulting in heart failure.
Since the approval, BridgeBio has seen remarkable momentum with
430 patient prescriptions written by 248 physicians.
Pipeline Updates
BBP-418 – Glycosylation substrate for
limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9):
- FORTIFY is a Phase 3 clinical trial of BBP-418 in LGMD2I/R9, a
rare genetic disorder caused by variants in the fukutin‑related
protein (FKRP) gene that result in progressive muscle degeneration
and damage, and eventual loss of functional independence. The trial
is fully enrolled with 112 patients.
- The Company expects Last Patient – Last Visit (LPLV) and
topline readout of the interim analysis cohort in second half
2025.
- If successful, BBP-418 would be the first approved therapy for
individuals living with LGMD2I/R9.
Encaleret – Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR)
antagonist for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1):
- CALIBRATE, the Phase 3 clinical trial of encaleret in ADH1, a
rare, genetic form of hypoparathyroidism, is fully enrolled with 70
patients. The trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety
of encaleret compared to standard of care in adult patients with
ADH1.
- The Company expects Last Patient – Last Visit and topline
readout in second half 2025.
- If successful, encaleret would be the first approved therapy
for individuals living with ADH1.
Infigratinib – FGFR1-3 inhibitor for
achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia:
- PROPEL 3, the Phase 3 clinical trial of infigratinib in
achondroplasia, the most common form of disproportionate short
stature, is fully enrolled with 114 participants.
- The Company expects Last Participant – Last Visit in second
half 2025.
- If successful, infigratinib would be the first approved oral
therapy for children living with achondroplasia.
