Acurx enrolls first patient in PATHFINDER Phase 2 trial of ibezapolstat for recurrent C. difficile infection
ACXP•Acurx enrolled the first patient in its PATHFINDER Phase 2 study of ibezapolstat for multiply recurrent C. difficile infection. The trial has not presented results; the company also reiterated plans for a larger Phase 3 ASPIRE trial, subject to funding availability.
1. Trial begins enrollment
Acurx enrolled the first patient in PATHFINDER, a Phase 2 study evaluating ibezapolstat in multiply recurrent C. difficile infection. The study will assess whether treatment clears infection and reduces repeat episodes over follow-up, and is designed to support an FDA filing strategy that could rely on one Phase 3 trial if supported by the total data.
2. Phase 3 plans
Management reiterated plans for the larger Phase 3 ASPIRE trial comparing ibezapolstat with vancomycin, subject to funding availability.
