Clinical Trials

Vonafexor (EYP001) has been evaluated across multiple Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials sponsored primarily by Enyo Pharma, alone or alongside PRA Health Sciences. These studies assess its therapeutic potential in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH/MASH), chronic hepatitis B virus infection, chronic kidney disease, Alport syndrome, and healthy adult subjects, including Phase 2a safety and efficacy trials in NASH and proof-of-concept research in Alport syndrome. With statuses spanning completed, actively recruiting, and terminated, these trials reflect ongoing clinical development across metabolic, viral, and renal indications.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Vonafexor acts as a selective, second-generation agonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR/NR1H4), binding to the nuclear receptor to modulate transcriptional cascades involved in bile acid synthesis, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory signaling pathways. By repressing hepatic lipogenesis and fibrotic gene expression while promoting metabolic regulation, this pharmacological action provides therapeutic utility in clinical evaluations for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, chronic hepatitis B, and chronic renal disorders.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
Regulatory Status Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA).
Facility Environment Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring.
Quality Control Basic purity and activity testing. Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma).
Process Validation Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records.
Quality Assurance Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits.
Regulatory Impact High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF).
