Angion Biomedica Pulls The Plug On Another Kidney Disease Trial

 

  • Angion Biomedica Corp (NASDAQ: ANGNhas discontinued the JUNIPER Phase 2 trial of ANG-3070, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in primary proteinuric kidney diseases, specifically focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and immunoglobulin A nephropathy.

  • The trial began enrolling patients in December 2021.

  • A reassessment was conducted following a potential safety signal of an unexpected and substantial decline in kidney function in a patient in the trial's drug treatment arm.

  • "Based on our ongoing analysis of the risk/benefit profile of ANG-3070 in patients with primary proteinuric kidney disease, we believe it to be in the best interest of patients to discontinue our Phase 2 JUNIPER study at this time..," stated CEO Jay Venkatesan.

  • Angion expects to report more than $60 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q2.

  • In April, the company decided to discontinue the development of ANG-3777 after disappointing data.
