Frequently asked questions about EDI048

What is EDI048 used for?

EDI048 is being developed for the treatment of cryptosporidiosis, an infectious disease caused by Cryptosporidium parasites. It is an investigational small molecule drug currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It is not yet approved for any indication.

Who is developing EDI048?

EDI048 is being developed by Novartis AG, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. Novartis is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the drug in cryptosporidiosis.

What phase is EDI048 in?

EDI048 is in Phase 2 clinical development. The program includes one active trial that is currently recruiting participants. No Phase 3 trials have been initiated, and the drug remains investigational.

What clinical trial is EDI048 in?

EDI048 is being evaluated in a single Phase 2 trial, NCT07249463, titled a study testing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of EDI048 in a Cryptosporidium infection model in healthy adults. The trial is recruiting, is placebo-controlled and double-blind, and plans to enroll 80 participants in the United States.

Is EDI048 FDA approved?

No. EDI048 is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for cryptosporidiosis, with one active trial recruiting participants. Approval, if it occurs, would require successful completion of later-stage trials and regulatory review.

Who can participate in the EDI048 trial?

The Phase 2 trial NCT07249463 enrolls healthy adult volunteers aged 18 years and older, with no restriction by sex. It uses a Cryptosporidium infection model in healthy adults rather than patients with naturally acquired infection, and it is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
