(Nasdaq: TCDA), a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of its investigational drug candidate, veverimer (TRC101), a non-absorbed, orally-administered polymer designed to treat metabolic acidosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), announced today key updates on veverimer\u2019s development program, regulatory status and patent protection.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Veverimer Development Update<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Tricida has revised the protocol for its VALOR-CKD outcome trial. The VALOR-CKD trial evaluates the effect of treating metabolic acidosis with veverimer on the clinical endpoint of slowing of CKD progression. The trial protocol previously had an adaptive design and included an unblinded interim analysis for sample size re-estimation. The revised protocol has a group sequential design, no interim analysis for sample size adjustment, and unblinded interim analyses for early stopping for efficacy after 150 primary endpoint events (anticipated in the second half of 2021) and 250 primary endpoint events (anticipated in mid-2022) have accrued. A primary endpoint event is defined as renal death, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or \u2265 40% reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (DD40). The interim analyses will be conducted by an independent unblinded Interim Analysis Committee, and the trial will remain blinded unless it is stopped early for efficacy. If this trial is successful, Tricida intends for it to serve as the confirmatory trial for accelerated approval or form the basis for traditional approval of veverimer.<\/p>\n<p>As of December 7, 2020, the VALOR-CKD trial has randomized 1,277 of 1,600 subjects with an average treatment duration of approximately one year and has accrued 50 of the 511 required subjects with positively adjudicated primary endpoint events. In response to feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at the End-of-Review Type A Meeting, recruitment has been closed in all regions except for the United States, Canada and Western Europe. Recruitment completion is projected to occur by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Veverimer Regulatory <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Status <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Update<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>A Formal Dispute Resolution Request (FDRR) has been submitted to the FDA to seek clarity on the path forward for resubmitting our New Drug Application (NDA) through the Accelerated Approval Program. The FDRR requests that the Office of New Drugs (OND) find that the magnitude of serum bicarbonate change seen in the TRCA-301 and TRCA-301E trials is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit in the treatment of metabolic acidosis associated with CKD and that it can therefore serve as the basis for accelerated approval. If accepted for consideration, a decision on the FDRR is expected in the first quarter of 2021. The timing and next steps for a resubmission of the NDA for veverimer will be dependent upon the OND\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that we are studying the right patient population and the right CKD progression endpoint in VALOR-CKD. Hence, we believe that an adaptive design is no longer necessary and have locked in the sample size at 1,600 subjects and built in two opportunities for stopping early for efficacy over the next 18 to 24 months, in the event that the effect of veverimer on slowing CKD progression is greater than currently modeled,\u201d said Gerrit Klaerner, Ph.D., Tricida\u2019s Chief Executive Officer and President. \u201cAnd while we are disappointed that we could not come to a resolution with the Division of Cardiology and Nephrology on the resubmission of our NDA during our Type A meeting, we believe that the focused, single issue FDRR currently represents the best approach to bring veverimer to patients through accelerated approval.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Financial Guidance<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Tricida currently has the financial resources to fund our operations into at least mid-2022, prior to modifying any of its material agreements. Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2020 were approximately $376 million. Tricida currently has $75 million principal amount of debt with Hercules which has a final maturity of April 2023 and has $200 million in outstanding principal amount of 3.5% Convertible Senior Notes which mature in May 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Veverimer Patent <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Protection <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Update<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Tricida has recently received notice of allowance for a new Orange Book eligible patent which, upon issuance, will extend veverimer\u2019s patent coverage in the United States to 2038. Tricida also holds six previously issued Orange Book eligible patents that provide patent protection until 2034 and several pending patent applications. Tricida also holds multiple patents in Europe and other key international markets that provide patent protection for veverimer to at least 2034.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Tricida Conference Call Information<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Tricida will host a conference call and webcast at 4:30 pm Eastern Time today to discuss the veverimer updates.
