Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The annual rate of decline in eGFR in participants with PH1
Annual change from baseline

To evaluate the effect of DCR PHXC on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in participants with PH1

Safety: Incidence of Events
180 days

To assess the efficacy of DCR-PHXC in lowering Pox in participants with PH1 and severe renal impairment, with or without hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

AUC From Day 90 To Day 180, Based on Percent Change From Baseline in 24-Hour Uox
From Day 90 to 180

The AUC of 24-hour urinary oxalate (Uox) from Day 90 to Day 180, based on percent change from baseline, was compared between the active treatment group and placebo group. A multiple imputation approach was used to handle missing Uox data and then calculate the AUC.

Frequently asked questions about DCR-PHXC

What is DCR-PHXC used for?

DCR-PHXC is being developed for primary hyperoxaluria, a group of rare inherited disorders that cause excess oxalate production and kidney damage. The program covers primary hyperoxaluria type 1, type 2, and type 3, including patients with type 1 who also have end stage renal disease. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved.

Who is developing DCR-PHXC?

DCR-PHXC is being developed by Novo Nordisk A/S, which trades under the ticker NVO. The company is running the clinical program across multiple countries, including the United States, several European nations, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the Middle East.

What phase is DCR-PHXC in?

DCR-PHXC is in clinical development, with trials spanning Phase 1 through Phase 3. A Phase 1 study in primary hyperoxaluria type 3 has completed, Phase 2 studies in type 1 and type 2 have completed or are recruiting, and a Phase 3 long term extension study is active but not recruiting. It is investigational and not approved.

What clinical trials is DCR-PHXC in?

DCR-PHXC has been studied in several trials. NCT04555486 was a completed Phase 1 study in primary hyperoxaluria type 3. NCT03847909 was a completed Phase 2 study in types 1 and 2. NCT04580420 is a recruiting Phase 2 study in type 1 with end stage renal disease, and NCT04042402 is an active Phase 3 long term extension study.

How many patients have been enrolled in DCR-PHXC trials?

Across the reported studies, total enrollment is about 110 participants. The Phase 3 long term extension study NCT04042402 enrolled 75 patients, the completed Phase 2 study NCT03847909 enrolled 35, the recruiting Phase 2 study NCT04580420 plans 28, and the Phase 1 study NCT04555486 enrolled 6.

What types of primary hyperoxaluria does DCR-PHXC target?

DCR-PHXC is being evaluated across primary hyperoxaluria type 1, type 2, and type 3. The Phase 3 extension study NCT04042402 includes patients with type 1, type 2, and type 3, while NCT04580420 focuses on type 1 patients who also have end stage renal disease and NCT04555486 studied type 3.
