Our lead investigational compound, paltusotine, delivered positive data from two consecutive late-stage clinical trials in acromegaly and carcinoid syndrome. With our pivotal PATHFNDR Phase 3 program in acromegaly now complete, we are working diligently to submit an NDA in the second half of 2024. We also intend to discuss the positive results from our Phase 2 study in carcinoid syndrome with the FDA in preparation for the Phase 3 program, which is expected to be initiated by the end of this year,” said Scott Struthers, Ph.D., founder and chief executive officer of Crinetics. “The clinical trials for the second compound in our pipeline, atumelnant, which is being developed for the treatment of CAH and Cushing’s disease, continue to enroll patients. We plan to report initial results from a subset of patients from these trials in the second quarter,” continued Dr. Struthers. “In the first quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet to support commercial readiness for a potential paltusotine launch in acromegaly, as well as to fund the development of our deep clinical and preclinical pipeline. The progress made across our pipeline positions the Company for long-term success and towards achieving our objective to become a fully integrated pharmaceutical company.”
