Key Terms

erythropoietic protoporphyria, phase 3

2 terms

erythropoietic protoporphyria medical

"bitopertin in EPP."

A rare inherited condition in which the body accumulates a light-sensitive molecule, causing painful and immediate reactions to sunlight and, in some people, damage to the liver. For investors, EPP matters because its small but well-defined patient population, clear clinical endpoints, and serious unmet medical needs create focused markets for diagnostics and treatments and can attract regulatory incentives and premium pricing for successful therapies.

phase 3 medical

"the APOLLO Phase 3 trial of bitopertin in EPP."

Phase 3 is the late-stage clinical testing step for a new drug or medical treatment, where the product is given to large groups of patients to confirm effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare it to standard care. Successful Phase 3 results are often the final scientific hurdle before regulators decide on approval and market launch—like passing a final exam before graduation—and can sharply change a company's valuation and future revenue prospects.

About Bitopertin

Bitopertin is an investigational, clinical-stage, orally administered inhibitor of glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1) that is designed to modulate heme biosynthesis. GlyT1 is a membrane transporter expressed on developing red blood cells and is required to supply sufficient glycine for heme biosynthesis and support erythropoiesis. Disc is developing bitopertin as a potential treatment for a range of hematologic diseases including erythropoietic porphyrias, where it has potential to be the first disease-modifying therapy. Bitopertin has been studied in multiple clinical trials in patients with EPP, including the Phase 2 open-label BEACON trial, the Phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled AURORA trial, an open-label extension HELIOS trial, and the Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled APOLLO trial.

Bitopertin is an investigational agent and is not approved for use as a therapy in any jurisdiction worldwide. Disc obtained global rights to bitopertin under a license agreement from Roche in May 2021.
