Clinical Trials
Our lead product candidate, Emcitate, is an oral small molecule that has been shown to restore dysfunctional thyroid hormone signalling in several situations.
A Phase IIb clinical trial (Triac Trial I; NCT02060474) in MCT8 deficiency has been completed which showed significant and clinically relevant treatment effects on key aspects of the disease. The Triac Trial I results have been published in The Lancet D&E in 2019.
In October 2021, data from long-term treatment in patients with MCT8 deficiency up to 6 years, with Emcitate was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. The data comes from an investigator-initiated real-life cohort study at 33 sites conducted by the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, where the efficacy and safety of Emcitate was investigated in 67 patients with MCT8 deficiency.
Emcitate is currently being investigated in the Triac Trial II (NCT02396459), a Phase II study in very young MCT8 deficiency patients (<30 months of age) exploring potential disease modifying effects of early intervention from a neurocognitive and neurodevelopmental perspective. The recruitment target was achieved in the second quarter 2022 and 22 patients have been included in the study. Topline results were presented in June 2024. The study did not show a statistically significant improvement compared to historical controls.
The NDA for the US NDA requires a small, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with at least 16 evaluable patients, and up to 30 days treatment duration with either Emcitate or placebo, to be conducted to verify the results on thyroid hormone T3 levels seen in previous clinical trials and publications. The design of this ReTRIACt trial has been agreed with the FDA and can be found on clinicaltrials.gov under identifier NCT05579327. The first patient was included in July 2023. Egetis will update the market as soon as recruitment has been completed and at that point inform about the timing of availability of top-line results, and the expected timing of the subsequent NDA filing.
