TRUST-I Data

On October 14, 2013, the Company reported that the TRUST-I study, its phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, U.S. multi-centered study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TSO in Crohn’s disease, did not meet its primary endpoint of improving response, defined as a 100-point decrease in the Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI), nor the key secondary endpoint of remission, defined as achieving CDAI < 150 points. In the overall patient population, response rate of patients on TSO did not separate from that of placebo.

The Company’s development partner for TSO in Crohn’s disease, Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH, is conducting TRUST-II, a phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center study in Europe to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different dosages of TSO in active Crohn’s disease. The results from a second interim analysis are expected in the fourth quarter of 2013.
