In Q4 2021, Calliditas plans to initiate a 52-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, trial with an adaptive phase 2b/3 design with setanaxib in 318 patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). As previously announced in August 2021, Calliditas received FDA fast track designation for setanaxib in PBC. Calliditas will also initiate a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in head and neck cancer in 2021, which will investigate the administration of setanaxib in conjunction with immunotherapy targeting cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs).
