Frequently asked questions about PORT-77

What is PORT-77 used for in erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP)?

PORT-77 is an investigational oral small molecule being developed for erythropoietic protoporphyria, a rare inherited disorder. It is also being studied in X-linked protoporphyria. BridgeBio Pharma is running a Phase 2 program that includes a completed Phase 2a study and an ongoing placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial.

Who makes PORT-77?

PORT-77 is being developed by BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker BBIO. BridgeBio is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on genetic diseases and rare conditions, and PORT-77 is part of its rare disease pipeline.

What phase is PORT-77 in?

PORT-77 is in Phase 2 clinical development. One Phase 2a study in adults with erythropoietic protoporphyria has been completed, and a larger Phase 2 trial is currently recruiting. PORT-77 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is PORT-77 in?

PORT-77 has been evaluated in two Phase 2 trials. The completed GATEWAY Phase 2a study, NCT06971900, enrolled 28 adults with erythropoietic protoporphyria. The ongoing Phase 2 trial, NCT07820085, is recruiting 225 participants aged 12 and older with EPP or X-linked protoporphyria in the United States.

How is the PORT-77 Phase 2 trial designed?

NCT07820085 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial of oral PORT-77 in participants with erythropoietic protoporphyria or X-linked protoporphyria. It plans to enroll 225 participants aged 12 years and older, is recruiting in the United States, and does not enroll healthy volunteers.

What is PORT-77?

PORT-77 is an oral small molecule drug candidate in Phase 2 development by BridgeBio Pharma for erythropoietic protoporphyria and X-linked protoporphyria, two rare inherited disorders of heme biosynthesis. It is investigational and has not received regulatory approval.
