ENLIGHTEN 1 trial did not meet its primary endpoint
Company plans to evaluate full dataset and path forward
“We are surprised and disappointed by the ENLIGHTEN 1 topline results,” said Maria Palasis, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer,
At 24 weeks, the ENLIGHTEN 1 trial demonstrated the following results compared to baseline, which did not achieve statistical significance:
- In the primary efficacy analysis, treatment with LYR-210 resulted in a mean (standard deviation; SD) improvement in the 3CS score of 2.13 (2.17) points, compared to 2.06 (2.14) points in sham control.
- In the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, treatment with LYR-210 resulted in a mean (SD) improvement in the 3CS score of 2.35 (2.28) points, compared to 1.89 (2.07) points in sham control.
- In the ITT population, treatment with LYR-210 resulted in a mean (SD) improvement in the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) score of 20.2 (21.38) points, compared to 15.70 (18.55) points in sham control.
- Ethmoid sinus opacification (evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scans), did not achieve statistically significant improvement after treatment with LYR-210 compared to sham control.
LYR-210 was generally well tolerated, with no product-related serious adverse events. The most commonly reported adverse events in the study population were epistaxis, nasal odor, upper respiratory tract infection and sinusitis.
The ENLIGHTEN 1 trial is ongoing and data from the 52-week extension phase are expected in Q4 2024. ENLIGHTEN 2, the second pivotal Phase 3 trial of LYR-210 in CRS, is ongoing.
The Company expects to make near-term changes to its business operations and to reduce its workforce in order to preserve cash.
About the ENLIGHTEN 1 Trial
ENLIGHTEN 1 is a randomized, blinded, sham-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LYR-210 in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) who have failed medical management and have not had prior ethmoid sinus surgery, randomized 2:1 to either LYR-210 or sham control for 24 weeks. At the end of the treatment phase, patients in the control group receive crossover LYR-210 treatment while patients in the LYR-210 group are re-randomized 1:1 to either receive a crossover sham-procedure or a repeat treatment with LYR-210 (7500 µg mometasone furoate); all patients are then followed through 52 weeks.
ENLIGHTEN 1 enrolled a total of 190 patients, approximately two-thirds from
