Eloxx finalized the design of its EXPRESS Phase 2 study of exaluren in nonsense-mutation ADPKD: 60 patients randomized 1:1 to exaluren or placebo for 52 weeks, with annualized htTKV growth as the primary endpoint. FDA written feedback indicated a substantial, durable htTKV effect could support Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and htTKV change is listed as a potential surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval. Exaluren also received US orphan drug designation for ADPKD; first patient dosing is expected 3Q 2027 with topline data in 1H 2029. The company appointed T.R.
