Nile Therapeutics Announces Positive Clinical Trial Results Evaluating the Subcutaneous Infusion of Cenderitide

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nile Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB: NLTX), a biopharmaceutical company that develops novel therapeutics for heart failure patients, today announced results from its recently completed Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety and tolerability of subcutaneous bolus and subcutaneous infusion of cenderitide in patients with chronic heart failure. Nile is developing cenderitide as a 90-day outpatient treatment for heart failure patients following admission for acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF), referred to as the "post-acute" treatment period.

The Phase 1 clinical trial was designed to understand the doses required to achieve pre-determined plasma levels of cenderitide when delivered through a subcutaneous infusion pump. The target cenderitide plasma levels were based on Nile's previous Phase 2 clinical trials in which cenderitide was delivered through continuous intravenous infusion.  In total, 58 patients were enrolled in the clinical study.

Results

  • The primary end-point was met – cenderitide achieved target PK levels when delivered through Medtronic, Inc's subcutaneous pump technology;
  • 24-hour subcutaneous delivery of cenderitide through Medtronic's pump technology was well-tolerated, with no injection site irritation;
  • Subcutaneously delivered cenderitide has an acceptable bioavailability profile;
  • Cenderitide's PK profile achieved steady-state when delivered through subcutaneous infusion;
  • Weight-based dosing reduced PK variability, as compared to a fixed dosing regimen.

"We are very excited about these results. This is the first time we have shown it is feasible to dose cenderitide subcutaneously and to target desirable plasma levels," said Hsiao Lieu, MD, Executive Vice President of Clinical Research at Nile. "We look forward to starting our next Phase 2 proof of concept trial, in which we hope to show an improvement in clinical heart failure surrogate markers and a potential trend in the reduction of the hospital re-admission rate."

A copy of the poster, "Initial Experience with Subcutaneous Infusion of Cenderitide in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure", presented at the American College of Cardiology 61th Scientific Session can be found at www.nilethera.com.

About Heart Failure

Heart failure is the fastest-growing clinical cardiac disease in the U.S. according to the American Heart Association, affecting over 5 million Americans. Over 1 million patients in the U.S. each year are hospitalized with ADHF, an acute exacerbation of heart failure. ADHF is the is the most frequent cause of hospital admission in the U.S. for patients older than 65 years, generating annual inpatient costs of more than $35 billion. Within 90 days following admission for ADHF, approximately 40% of patients return to the hospital. Nile believes that a decrease in the ADHF re-hospitalization rate, which is the clinical target of the cenderitide development program, could both improve the quality of life for patients and decrease the annual inpatient cost of heart failure.

About Nile Therapeutics

Nile Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company that develops innovative products for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and other areas of unmet medical needs. Nile is focusing its efforts on developing its lead compound, cenderitide, a novel rationally designed chimeric peptide in clinical studies for the treatment of heart failure. The cenderitide program was granted Fast Track status by the United States Food and Drug Administration. More information on Nile can be found at http://www.nilethera.com.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release regarding Nile's plans to develop cenderitide in the post-acute setting, the anticipated benefits of cenderitide for patients in the post-acute setting, Nile's belief about the viability of its strategy to develop cenderitide using a subcutaneous pump technology, Nile's plans for further development of cenderitide and its ability to fund such development, Nile's ability to obtain FDA approval of cenderitide in the post-acute setting and Nile's beliefs about the potential impact of a decrease of the ADHF re-hospitalization rate on the quality of life for patients and cenderitide's ability to reduce the financial burden of ADHF on the healthcare system, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding the timing, progress and anticipated results of the clinical development, regulatory processes, clinical trial timelines, expected patient enrollment, anticipated benefits of cenderitide, Nile's strategy, future operations, outlook, milestones, the timing and success of Nile's product development, future financial position, future financial results, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements.

Additional risks are described in greater detail in the reports Nile files with Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described under the caption "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2011.
