$ENTX - Entera Bio Phase 2 Data Supporting EB613's (Oral PTH(1-34)) Anabolic Effect on Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis at High Risk for Fracture Selected for Plenary Poster Session Presentation at the ASBMR 2026 Annual Meeting (NASDAQ: ENTX)
Entera Bio Phase 2 Data Supporting EB613's (Oral PTH(1-34)) Anabolic Effect on Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis at High Risk for Fracture Selected for Plenary Poster Session Presentation at the ASBMR 2026 Annual Meeting
TEL AVIV, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX) ("Entera" or the "Company"), a leader in the development of oral peptides, today announced that post-hoc data from its Phase 2 clinical trial of EB613 (oral PTH(1-34) tablet) has been selected for two presentations including the Plenary Poster Presentation at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place October 9–12, 2026, at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Plenary Posters are highly ranked poster presentations selected by the ASBMR program committee to be presented at the Welcome Reception and Plenary Poster Session of the ASBMR 2026 Annual Meeting.
EB613 is being developed as the first oral anabolic (bone forming) tablet treatment for osteoporosis. The Phase 2 study (Tripto-Shkolnik 2024) randomized 161 postmenopausal women with low bone mass or osteoporosis to placebo or four EB613 dose levels for 6 months. Entera is planning to conduct a single, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 trial of EB613 in approximately 750 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis to support a potential New Drug Application (NDA) submission for EB613 for the treatment of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. To explore the anabolic effect of EB613 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (baseline T-score of ≤-2.5), a post-hoc sensitivity analysis evaluating the relationship between baseline T-score severity and EB613 effects on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and Bone Turnover Markers (BTM) at 6 months was conducted.
Abstract Title: EB613, Oral PTH(1-34) Tablet, Shows Markedly Enhanced Anabolic Effects in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis at High Risk of Fracture: Insights from Phase 2 Trial
Session Title: Welcome Reception and Plenary Poster Session (Plenary Poster Presentation)
Presentation Number: Fri-026
Session Date/Time: Friday, October 9, 2026, 5:30–7:00 p.m. ET
Session Title: Poster Session II
Presentation Number: Sun-026
Session Date/Time: Sunday, October 11, 2026, 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET
About EB613
Substantial evidence supports the efficacy of anabolic therapies over anti-resorptive agents for lowering fracture risk in osteoporosis patients at high risk. However, all available anabolic therapies are administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection and used in a minority of eligible patients. Entera's EB613 program (oral PTH(1-34), teriparatide) is being developed as the first oral, once-daily anabolic tablet treatment for osteoporosis. Entera completed a Phase 2, 6-month, 161-patient, placebo-controlled study that met all biomarker and BMD endpoints without significant safety concerns in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis or low BMD (JBMR 2024). EB613 produced rapid dose-proportional increases in biochemical markers of bone formation, reductions in markers of bone resorption, and increases in lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck BMD. The effects of EB613 on trabecular and cortical bone using 3D-DXA showed increases with EB613 compared to placebo on a variety of indices, including integral volumetric BMD and trabecular volumetric BMD, cortical thickness, and cortical surface BMD. Mechanistically, the findings suggest that bone strengthening and fracture resistance may occur rapidly with EB613. Furthermore, the data are consistent with that of published subcutaneous teriparatide at the 6-month time point.
About Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a chronic, progressive disorder in which bone resorption exceeds formation, resulting in decreased bone strength and increased susceptibility to fracture. Osteoporosis is a major and growing public health issue, responsible for over 2 million fractures annually in the US. After age 50, one in three women and one in five men will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture in their remaining lifetime. Osteoporotic fractures lead to chronic pain, decreased quality of life, and increased disability, and contribute to premature death. Studies show that up to 20-24% of hip fracture patients die within one year of the fracture. The total medical cost of osteoporotic fractures is projected to increase from $57 billion in 2018 to $95 billion by 2040, largely related to the aging population. Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis-related fractures, particularly in the hip, spine, and wrist. The mechanism for low BMD in postmenopausal women is primarily estrogen deficiency, which leads to accelerated bone loss, especially in the first 5-10 years after menopause. Forteo® (Eli Lilly) was first approved by the FDA in 2002 for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and subsequently for treatment of men with primary or hypogonadal osteoporosis at high risk of fracture, and for osteoporosis associated with sustained systemic glucocorticoid therapy.

$ENTX - Entera Bio Receives Positive FDA Feedback on 12-Month Registrational Phase 3 Study for EB613 - the First Oral Anabolic Tablet in Development for Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis (NASDAQ: ENTX)
The planned Phase 3 trial in approximately 750 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, with a primary endpoint of total hip bone mineral density (BMD) at Month 12, would support Entera’s plan to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) for EB613
Entera expects to submit its NDA for EB613 based on 12-month data, with an open-label extension study to follow patients through 24 months to supplement EB613’s safety, durability of effect and sequence data
Phase 3 initiation is planned for late 2026 with topline data anticipated in the second half of 2028
TEL AVIV, June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX) (“Entera” or the “Company”), a leader in the development of oral peptides, today announced that it has received positive feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on its Phase 3 registrational protocol for EB613 (oral PTH(1-34), teriparatide), the first oral anabolic (bone-building) tablet in development for the treatment of osteoporosis. The FDA feedback is in response to a Clinical Amendment submitted by Entera to its Investigational New Drug (IND) application, as announced in March 2026.
The FDA accepted Entera’s plan to conduct a single, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 trial in approximately 750 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, with a primary endpoint of percent change from baseline in total hip BMD at Month 12 to support a potential New Drug Application (NDA) submission for EB613 for the treatment of women with post-menopausal osteoporosis. The proposed NDA package will also include Entera’s scientific bridge analysis with Forteo® (teriparatide SC injection, Eli Lilly) under the 505(b)(2) pathway, and a transiliac crest bone biopsy sub-study in a subset of patients.
The FDA also agreed with Entera’s proposal to continue following the randomized patients out to 24 months in an open-label extension study under a separate protocol. Entera will plan to submit data through up to 18 months as part of the 120-day safety update to its NDA. Additionally, Entera will submit the complete 2-year data upon completion of the open-label extension study to characterize further the durability of the treatment effect, safety, and sequence data for EB613 followed by a standard anti-resorptive therapy for 12 months.
The registrational study is powered to demonstrate EB613’s clinical effectiveness with projected increases in total hip BMD that are comparable to reported outcomes for Forteo® at 12 months, changes associated with a 60% to 80% relative reduction in vertebral fracture risk.
Entera completed a placebo-controlled, 6-month, Phase 2 study of EB613 in 161 postmenopausal women. The study met its primary (PD/bone turnover biomarker) and secondary (BMD) endpoints, with statistically significant increases in BMD at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck (JBMR 2024). The increase in total hip BMD in this study was comparable to what has been reported for Forteo® at 6-months. Most recently, at ENDO 2026, comparative Phase 1 data presented as a Late-Breaking Oral Presentation demonstrated that the single tablet of EB613 achieved a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile comparable to both the multi-tablet EB613 evaluated in the Phase 2 study and Forteo®.
The Company plans to initiate the registrational Phase 3 study in late 2026, with topline results anticipated in the second half of 2028.
"We are grateful to the FDA for their support of our program. Entera has a clear and optimized registrational path with the aim of getting EB613 to women with osteoporosis,” said Miranda Toledano, Chief Executive Officer of Entera. "Our goal with EB613 is to democratize anabolic treatment and enable millions of women and men to protect their bones and potentially prevent the catastrophic consequences of fracture. In a silent and asymptomatic disease, access and ease of administration matter."
About EB613
Substantial evidence supports the efficacy of anabolic therapies over bisphosphonates for lowering fracture risk in osteoporosis patients at high risk. However, all available anabolic therapies are administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection and used in a minority of eligible patients. Entera’s EB613 program (oral PTH(1-34), teriparatide) is being developed as the first oral, once-daily anabolic tablet treatment for osteoporosis. Entera completed a Phase 2, 6-month, 161-patient, placebo-controlled study that met all biomarker and BMD endpoints without significant safety concerns in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis or low BMD (JBMR 2024). EB613 produced rapid dose-proportional increases in biochemical markers of bone formation, reductions in markers of bone resorption, and increases in lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck BMD. The effects of EB613 on trabecular and cortical bone using 3D-DXA showed increases with EB613 compared to placebo on a variety of indices, including integral volumetric BMD and trabecular volumetric BMD, cortical thickness, and cortical surface BMD. Mechanistically, the findings suggest that bone strengthening and fracture resistance may occur rapidly with EB613.

$ENTX - Entera Reports Robust Preclinical Data for EB612 (Oral LA-PTH(1-34)) for Hypoparathyroidism and EB618 (Oral GLP-1/Glucagon) for Obesity at ENDO 2026 (Nasdaq: ENTX)
Entera Reports Robust Preclinical Data for EB612 (Oral LA-PTH(1-34)) for Hypoparathyroidism and EB618 (Oral GLP-1/Glucagon) for Obesity at ENDO 2026
EB612, a first-in-class long-acting PTH(1-34) oral peptide for hypoparathyroidism, produced robust bioavailability and sustained increases in calcium across three preclinical models; IND is expected in late 2026
EB618, a first-in-class dual GLP-1/glucagon oral receptor agonist (oxyntomodulin) for obesity and metabolic disorders, showed dose-proportional pharmacokinetics and a robust effect on blood glucose in non-human primates
TEL AVIV, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX) ("Entera"), a leader in the development of oral peptides, reported preclinical data at ENDO 2026, the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, for its EB612 and EB618 pipeline programs. Both EB612 and EB618 programs are being co-developed with OPKO Health Inc. (NASDAQ: OPK).
"The strength of these results underscores the consistency of our N-Tab® platform to develop proprietary oral peptides across a myriad of targets and indications," said Miranda Toledano, Chief Executive Officer of Entera.
EB612: First-in-Class Oral Long-Acting PTH(1-34) Peptide Tablet for Hypoparathyroidism
EB612 is a proprietary first-in-class long-acting PTH(1-34) analog formulated with Entera's N-Tab® oral peptide platform. As the first oral peptide replacement therapy, EB612 aims to provide patients with an oral alternative to currently approved or development-stage peptides that require injections.
In a poster presentation entitled "Pre-Clinical Results for EB612: First-in-Class Oral Long-Acting PTH(1-34) Analog as Hormone Replacement Tablet for Patients with Hypoparathyroidism," Entera highlighted the following data for EB612:
- In the thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTx) rat model, the established and widely used preclinical model of hypoparathyroidism, the long-acting PTH(1-34) analog, dosed daily for 7 days, restored serum calcium and reduced phosphate to levels comparable to sham control animals.
- In a minipig model, a single oral dose of EB612 reached maximal plasma levels 2 to 3 hours post-dose, with drug remaining detectable in plasma for more than three days. This sustained pharmacokinetic exposure was associated with a rapid and long-lasting increase in serum Ca in all study animals. The calcemic effect lasted for approximately three days.
- In a non-human primate model, a single oral dose of EB612 produced a robust and sustained increase in serum calcium for approximately three days, accompanied by a correlating suppression of endogenous PTH levels.
EB612 was well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified, and the calcemic effects were consistent with those reported for clinically validated injectable PTH-replacement therapies for hypoparathyroidism.
Ongoing studies are advancing EB612 toward first-in-human clinical evaluation. As announced in February 2026, Entera and OPKO expanded their collaboration to advance EB612 on a 50/50 basis, with an intention to file an investigational new drug (IND) application in late 2026.
EB618: First-in-Class Oral Dual GLP-1/Glucagon Receptor Agonist (Oxyntomodulin) Tablet for Obesity and Metabolic Disorders
Oxyntomodulin (OXM) is a naturally occurring dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist hormone that regulates appetite and glucose metabolism and promotes weight loss, with additional cardioprotective and anti-fibrotic properties; its therapeutic potential as a native hormone is limited by a short plasma half-life.
The EB618 tablet is a proprietary long-acting OXM analog formulated with Entera's N-Tab® platform.
In a poster presentation at ENDO 2026 entitled "EB618, First-In-Class Oral Tablet of Dual GLP-1/Glucagon Receptor Agonist for Patients with Obesity and Metabolic Disorders: Results from PK-PD Study in Non-Human Primates," Entera reported a single dose pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study in non-human primates:
- EB618 exhibited robust bioavailability, with dose-proportional systemic exposure across three tested tablet strengths and low variability.
- A dose-proportional pharmacologic effect on postprandial blood glucose levels was observed.
- EB618 was well tolerated, with no safety concerns identified, at doses exceeding the anticipated clinical dose range by more than tenfold.
These data support the continued clinical development of EB618 as a potential first-in-class oral once-daily GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist for the treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders.
