Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Proportion of participants with clinical remission using the 3-component modified Mayo Score (mMS) at Week 12.
Week 12

The Modified Mayo Score (MMS) is a composite score of ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity on a scale of increasing severity from 0-9, calculated by summing three subscores: Endoscopic subscore (ES), scored on a scale of increasing severity from 0 (normal or inactive disease) to 3 (severe disease, such as spontaneous bleeding or ulceration); Stool frequency subscore (SFS), scored on a scale of increasing frequency from 0 (normal number of stools) to 3 (≥5 stools more than normal per day for the participant); and rectal bleeding subscore (RBS), scored on a scale of increasing severity from 0 (no blood seen) to 3 (blood alone passed). Clinical Remission is defined as an ES of 0 or 1, RBS of 0, and SFS of 0 or 1 and not greater than the baseline SFS.

FSCD ArmEXPERIMENTALPALI-2108 All participants receive once-daily oral PALI-2108 for 14 days in the fed state. Two sentinel subjects receive a titrated regimen from 5 mg to 20 mg. After 7 days of sentinel dosing, the Safety Review Committee (SRC) reviews safety data and assigns the subsequent two patients to a target dose of 25 mg, with a predefined titration schedule. If the 25 mg dose is judged to be safe, all remaining subjects receive a target daily dose of 30 mg, also with a predefined titration scheme. Dose reductions may occur if safety profile is not judged adequate by SRC. Dosing is site-administered except on protocol-specified days when self-administration at home is permitted.

Frequently asked questions about PALI-2108

What is PALI-2108 used for?

PALI-2108 is an investigational oral small molecule being developed for fibrostenotic Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, two inflammatory bowel diseases. It is also being studied in healthy volunteers. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does PALI-2108 target?

PALI-2108 targets phosphodiesterase 4, or PDE4, an enzyme. By acting on PDE4, the drug is designed to modulate inflammatory signaling. PDE4 is the molecular target of PALI-2108, and the compound is a small molecule.

Who is developing PALI-2108?

PALI-2108 is being developed by Palisade Bio, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker PALI. The company is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the drug in ulcerative colitis and fibrostenotic Crohn's disease.

What phase is PALI-2108 in?

PALI-2108 is in Phase 1 development, with a Phase 2 trial also under way. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The program includes a completed Phase 1 study, an active Phase 1 study, and a recruiting Phase 2 trial.

What clinical trials is PALI-2108 in?

PALI-2108 has been studied in three registered trials. NCT06663605 was a completed Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers and ulcerative colitis patients. NCT07428096 is an active Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, ulcerative colitis, and fibrostenosing Crohn's disease patients. NCT07845487 is a recruiting Phase 2 trial in moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

Is PALI-2108 FDA approved?

No. PALI-2108 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. It is still in clinical development, with Phase 1 studies completed or ongoing and a Phase 2 trial in ulcerative colitis currently recruiting participants.
