14 July 2025

US biotech Crinetics Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: CRNX) has released new data on its investigational oral therapy Palsonify (paltusotine), supporting its potential as a convenient alternative to monthly injections for patients with acromegaly.

The company, which awaits a decision from the American medicines regulator with a PDUFA date approaching, presented the findings at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, ENDO 2025, in San Diego.

The new data come from open-label extension studies tied to the Phase III PATHFNDR-1 and PATHFNDR-2 trials. Across both studies, the therapy was generally well tolerated.
