Eledon Pharmaceuticals presented updated data from its ongoing Phase 1b trial of tegoprubart for preventing organ rejection in kidney transplant patients at the American Transplant Congress.
The study involved 13 participants and demonstrated a consistent mean eGFR of 70.5 mL/min/1.73m² at all reported time points post-transplant. Notably, two participants had mean eGFRs above 90 mL/min/1.73m² at 12 months post-transplant.
Tegoprubart was generally well tolerated, with no cases of hyperglycemia, new onset diabetes, or tremor, commonly seen with current calcineurin inhibitor-based treatments. Three participants discontinued the study due to adverse effects, including hair loss, viral infection, and rejection.
Eledon is also running a Phase 2 BESTOW trial with expected enrollment completion by year-end 2024.
