Protagonist expects to reach VERIFY enrollment target by end of March

Protagonist Therapeutics has randomized 241 patients in the ongoing Phase 3 VERIFY clinical trial evaluating rusfertide in polycythemia vera as of today and expects to meet the trial’s 250 patient enrollment target by the end of March 2024. Eligible patients in screening as of March 31, 2024 will be randomized by the end of April 2024. The Company expects to announce top-line data for the study’s 32-week primary efficacy endpoint by the end of the first quarter of 2025. The Phase 3 VERIFY trial is a global Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to enroll approximately 250 patients. The trial evaluates the efficacy, symptom burden and safety of once-weekly, subcutaneously self-administered rusfertide in patients with uncontrolled hematocrit who are phlebotomy dependent despite standard of care treatment. The trial enrolled patients in 20 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. This Phase 3 study along with the REVIVE Phase 2 trial and other completed studies will comprise the clinical data package planned for NDA filing.
