Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials sponsored by Allena Pharmaceuticals have evaluated treatments for hyperuricemia, gout, and hyperuricemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. These completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies included single and multiple ascending dose protocols in hyperuricemic cohorts, as well as an inpatient trial assessing therapeutic efficacy and safety in patients with co-occurring chronic kidney disease.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

MG-101 (ALLN) functions as a cell-permeable inhibitor that directly targets cysteine proteases, including calpains and lysosomal cathepsins, thereby blocking downstream substrate cleavage and suppressing intracellular protein degradation cascades. This targeted inhibition prevents catabolic tissue remodeling and pro-inflammatory cellular responses, providing therapeutic potential for clinical conditions such as hyperuricemia, gout, and chronic kidney disease.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
