Frequently asked questions about Verinurad ER8 formulation

What is Verinurad ER8 formulation?

Verinurad ER8 formulation is an extended-release capsule version of verinurad, a small molecule being developed by AstraZeneca PLC (ticker AZN) for chronic kidney disease. It is an investigational Phase 1 asset and has been studied in a relative bioavailability trial comparing formulations under fasted and fed conditions.

What does Verinurad ER8 formulation target?

Verinurad ER8 formulation targets SLC22A12 and acts as an inhibitor of that transporter. SLC22A12 is also known as URAT1, a urate transporter involved in reabsorption of uric acid in the kidney. Inhibiting this target is the mechanism under study in chronic kidney disease.

Who makes Verinurad ER8 formulation?

Verinurad ER8 formulation is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating this extended-release capsule formulation in chronic kidney disease.

What phase is Verinurad ER8 formulation in?

Verinurad ER8 formulation is in Phase 1 development. It is an investigational drug and is not approved for any indication. The Phase 1 program consists of one completed trial, with no active trials currently listed.

What clinical trials is Verinurad ER8 formulation in?

Verinurad ER8 formulation has been studied in NCT04024501, a completed Phase 1 trial titled A Study to Assess the Relative Bioavailability of 3 Different Formulations Under Fasted and Fed Condition. The trial enrolled 25 participants in Germany, including healthy volunteers, and used a randomized, controlled design.

Is Verinurad ER8 formulation the same as Verinurad ER8 capsule formulation (fasted)?

Yes. Verinurad ER8 formulation is also known as the Verinurad ER8 capsule formulation (fasted). The fasted description refers to the dosing condition used in the bioavailability study, which compared formulations under both fasted and fed states.
