Quince also disclosed that the company has enrolled 46 participants to date in its pivotal Phase 3 NEAT (Neurologic Effects of EryDex on Subjects with A-T; NCT06193200 / IEDAT-04-2022) clinical trial to evaluate the neurological effects of EryDex in patients with A-T. Dirk Thye, M.D., Quince’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer, said, “We continue to make significant progress with clinical site activations and enrollment of our pivotal Phase 3 NEAT clinical trial. With 61 participants screened to date, enrollment is nearing 50% and we expect screening and randomization to accelerate in the coming weeks due to several new geographic regions and sites scheduled for activation. We anticipate completing enrollment during the second quarter of 2025 and reporting topline results before the end of 2025.” Pivotal Phase 3 NEAT Clinical Trial Enrolled 46 participants to date in the company’s Phase 3 NEAT clinical trial to evaluate the neurological effects of EryDex in patients with A-T, including 40 participants in the six to nine year-old primary analysis population. Quince plans to enroll approximately 86 patients with A-T ages six to nine years old (primary analysis population) and approximately 20 patients with A-T ages 10 years or older. Open label extension initiated with 17 participants rolling over to date in the U.S., U.K., and European Union. Participants who complete the full treatment period, complete study assessments, and provide informed consent are eligible to transition to an open label extension study. Pivotal Phase 3 NEAT clinical trial is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Expect to report Phase 3 NEAT topline results in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the FDA and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) submission to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2026, assuming positive study results. NEAT is an international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the neurological effects of the company’s lead asset, EryDex (dexamethasone sodium phosphate [DSP] encapsulated in autologous red blood cells), in patients with A-T. Participants will be randomized (1:1) between EryDex or placebo and treatment will consist of six infusions scheduled once every 21 to 30 days. The primary efficacy endpoint will be measured by the change from baseline to last visit completion in a rescored modified International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (RmICARS) compared to placebo as per the SPA agreement with the FDA.
