XORTX Therapeutics (XRTX) announced positive topline results from the first of its three part Pharmacokinetics Bridging Study – XRX-OXY-101.

The study showed a substantial increase in oral bioavailability of two versions of XORTX’s proprietary oxypurinol formulation compared to a control formulation.

XORTX CEO, Allen Davidoff stated that the successful completion of Part 1 of the XRX-OXY-101 study provided 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.”
