$XRTX XORTX Submits a New Patent for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/01/03/2803143/0/en/XORTX-Submits-a-New-Patent-for-the-Treatment-of-Chronic-Kidney-Disease.html
CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XORTX Therapeutics Inc. ("XORTX" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XRTX | TSXV: XRTX | Frankfurt: ANU), a late-stage clinical pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to treat progressive kidney disease, announces submission of a new patent for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (“CKD”). This patent is designed to protect new discoveries and strategies for the treatment of individuals with varied degrees of kidney function in the setting of CKD. Importantly, this patent entitled “Oral and Sublingual Formulations of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors and Methods of Treating Disease” outlines new formulations and methods for safer and more effective the use of xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI) in the setting of CKD in particular autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), diabetic nephropathy (DN), IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
The positive topline results from the XRX-OXY-101 bridging pharmacokinetic clinical study reported in Q1 2023 (the “Study”) characterized the pharmacokinetics of the Company’s proprietary formulation of oral oxypurinol, XORLO™. Results from the Study showed that XORLO™ was well tolerated by the 88 subjects who received the drug. There were no safety concerns during the testing of drug across the various dosing regimens used. Overall results were positive and showed: i) a substantial increase in the bioavailability of oxypurinol with the XORLO™ formulation platform; (ii) a substantially increased dose proportionality compared to non-formulated oxypurinol; (iii) a multiple dosing regimen that achieved therapeutic target values. In simple terms, substantially increased early oral absorption of XORLO™, and increased circulating concentrations of oxypurinol necessary to inhibit production of uric acid across the desired therapeutic range and thereby slow down the advancements of CKD. Each of these results will provide key data to facilitate precise dosing recommendations for upcoming registration trials in individuals with progressing kidney disease due to ADPKD as well as other causes of CKD.
Dr. Allen Davidoff, CEO of XORTX, commented, “The Bridging Pharmacokinetic Study reported this year provided a wealth of clinical data regarding the potential substantive benefit of the novel formulations of the xanthine inhibitor class of drugs. Analysis of this data set, the use of in silico based pharmacokinetic modeling of data from the XRX-OXY-101 clinical trial, and further innovation, resulted in a deeper understanding of how to address the challenges of dosing in progressing kidney disease. This patent application is intended to claim new opportunities to enhance how the xanthine oxidase inhibitor class of drugs may be dosed in the future. Importantly, how to further improve the safe and effective administration of this class of drugs, including oxypurinol.”

XORTX Announces Positive Topline Results from Pharmacokinetics Bridging Clinical Trial
Clinical Trial Shows Substantially Improved Bioavailiability
CALGARY, Alberta, July 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XORTX Therapeutics Inc. ("XORTX" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XRTX | TSXV: XRTX | Frankfurt: ANU), a late stage clinical pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to treat progressive kidney disease, is pleased to announce positive topline results from Part 1 of the three part Pharmacokinetics Bridging Study – XRX-OXY-101 (“PK Clinical Trial”) - showing a substantial increase in oral bioavailability of two versions of XORTX’s proprietary oxypurinol formulation compared to a control formulation. In addition, accompanying the improved bioavailability findings in Part 1 of the PK Clinical Trial was a clean safety and pharmacologic profile with no drug related adverse or serious adverse events related to oral administration of oxypurinol.
Successful recruitment, administration of a single oral dose of drug formulation, blood sampling and bioanalytical evaluation were conducted in Part 1 of the PK Clinical Trial to characterize the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of the unique proprietary formulations in advance of the Company’s planned late-stage phase 3 registration trial in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (“ADPKD”).
The PK Clinical Trial is undertaken in three parts and designed with four important objectives: 1) to determine which of XORTX’s novel formulations results in the greatest circulating oxypurinol concentrations and oxypurinol exposure; 2) to determine the effect of food on the bioavailability of the selected formulation; 3) to determine the effect of dose on the bioavailability of the selected formulation; and 4) to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of the selected formulation. Knowledge gained during the conduct of this PK Clinical Trial will provide guidance regarding the formulation selected and the oral dosing regimen necessary to reach and maintain the target circulating concentration of oxypurinol. Part 1 of the PK Clinical Trial involved dosing under fasted conditions. Part 2 will measure the effect of food on pharmacokinetics and Part 3 is a multiple dose pharmacokinetics evaluation. The PK Clinicial Trial is designed to permit XORTX to characterize the safety and relative bioavailability of the XRx-008 program formulations. Knowledge gained during the conduct of this PK Clinical Trial is now providing critical guidance regarding the oral dosing for our planned phase 3 registration trial in ADPKD.
Part 1 of the XRX-OXY-101 achieved the following purposes:
Confirmed improved human bioavailability of XORTX formulations of oxypurinol for future development;
Established a pharmacokinetics data set characterizing oral bioavailability of XORTX formulations for future population based pharmacokinetic modeling;
Confirmed the unique proprietary formulation innovations from recently granted US and EU patents that provide for increased circulating concentrations of oxypurinol; and
Built upon the pharmacokinetic and safety database of safety and efficacy for oxypurinol.
Dr. Allen Davidoff, CEO of XORTX, stated, “Successful completion of Part 1 of the XRX-OXY-101 Study provides important knowledge for selecting the clinical dose and formulation for future oral dosing in our upcoming phase 3 registration trial. Pharmacokinetic modeling of this data will provide additional information to guide decision making as we plan and execute development of the XRx-008 program clinical and commercial development. We look forward to the initiation of dosing of Part 2 of the XRX-OXY-101 this week.”
About ADPKD
ADPKD is a rare disease that affects more that 10 million individuals worldwide.1,2 ADPKD is typically diagnosed based upon expansion of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. Over time, the increasing number and size of cysts can contribute to structural and functional changes to kidneys and is frequently accompanied by chronic pain which is a common problem for patients with ADPKD.3 Expansion of cysts is thought to compress healthy functioning tissue surrounding the cysts and contribute to further loss of kidney function, fibrosis, impaired nutrient exchange and impaired kidney function, accompanied later by end-stage renal disease.1 For individuals with progressing ADPKD, treatment recommendations include anti-hypertensive treatment, dietary restrictions, and, for a limited percentage of suitable patients, pharmacotherapy.4 New, more broadly applicable therapies to effectively slow decline of kidney function in ADPKD are needed.
