Principia Biopharma Inc. (PRNB), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to bringing transformative oral therapies to patients with significant unmet medical needs in immunology and oncology, today announced updates to its immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) program for PRN1008.

The ongoing open-label, dose-finding clinical trial investigating PRN1008 in patients with ITP who are refractory or relapsed with no available treatment options, was designed to test safety and activity across multiple doses – 200mg once-a-day, 400mg once-a-day, 300mg twice-a-day and 400mg twice-a-day. The protocol has been modified to add a long-term extension cohort for responders and, if needed, to enroll additional patients to inform the design of the Phase 3 program. The company plans to announce top-line data from this trial during the fourth quarter of 2019.
