Some people may know of this drug as OT-58, but its proper name is TVT-058, Pegtibatinase.
In November 2020, Retrophin acquired Orphan Technologies, thus also acquiring OT-58 and their Natural History Study. Shortly after, Retrophin rebranded as Travere.
Travere Therapeutics is in the process of developing an enzyme replacement therapy for patients with CBS Deficiency Homocystinuria.

Travere Therapeutics, Inc., announced a voluntary pause of enrollment in the Phase 3 HARMONY Study evaluating pegtibatinase for the treatment of classical homocystinuria (HCU). The voluntary enrollment pause enables the Company to work to address necessary process improvements in manufacturing scale-up to support commercial-scale manufacturing as well as full enrollment in the HARMONY Study. Patients currently enrolled in pegtibatinase studies continue to receive study medication from small-scale batches which are unaffected by the scale-up process. Currently enrolled patients will be able to continue on study medication as scheduled for the duration of the trials they are participating in.

Travere Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the Company will present two posters in classical homocystinuria (HCU) at the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM) annual symposium in Porto, Portugal, September 3-6, 2024.
At SSIEM, the Company will present the trial designs of the pivotal Phase 3 HARMONY Study and ENSEMBLE long-term extension study of pegtibatinase, a novel investigational enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of classical HCU. Additionally, the Company will share the trial design of cohort 7 in the Phase 1/2 COMPOSE Study of pegtibatinase in pediatric participants with classical HCU.
Posters:

Travere Therapeutics, Inc. announced the Company has opened enrollment in the HARMONY Study, a global, randomized pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of pegtibatinase, a novel investigational enzyme replacement therapy being evaluated for the treatment of classical homocystinuria (HCU). Classical HCU is a rare genetic metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme cystathionine beta synthase (CBS). The study is designed to determine the safety and efficacy of pegtibatinase in reducing plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) levels, a key treatment goal in classical HCU, compared to placebo in participants who are receiving standard of care.

Travere Therapeutics presented clinical data from the Phase 1/2 COMPOSE Study of pegtibatinase, a novel investigational enzyme replacement therapy being evaluated for the treatment of classical homocystinuria (HCU), at the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM) Annual Symposium in Jerusalem, Israel, August 29 – September 1, 2023.
The Company and its collaborators also presented analyses on its prospective HCU natural history study, the prevalence of HCU, and the burden of HCU from the patient perspective highlighting the devastating nature of this rare metabolic disease over patients’ lifetimes and underscoring the urgent need for new treatments. In addition, the Company presented data on the clinical burden of HCU and the relationship between total homocysteine (tHcy) and clinical outcomes, which has been recognized as one of the highest-ranked posters at SSIEM.
