EB613 Program
−Removed: Our most advanced product candidate, EB613, oral PTH(1-34), is being developed as the first oral, osteoanabolic (bone building) once-daily tablet treatment for post-menopausal women with low bone mineral density (“BMD”) and high-risk osteoporosis.
−Removed: Anabolic drugs are indicated for the treatment of very high-risk osteoporosis patients as first line therapy and as second line treatment in osteoporosis patients who cannot tolerate or progress on other osteoporosis drugs.
−Removed: Despite the superior efficacy of anabolic drugs, existing treatments require daily or monthly subcutaneous injections and are used in a minority of very high-risk patients.
−Removed: EB613 is intended to provide an oral anabolic treatment earlier in an osteoporosis patient’s journey to increase skeletal mass, reduce the risk of fracture and consequently limit the progression of the disease, and its associated disability and mortality.
−Removed: A placebo controlled, dose ranging Phase 2 study of EB613 tablets (n= 161) met primary (pharmacodynamic/bone turnover biomarker) and secondary endpoints (BMD).
−Removed: The highest EB613 oral PTH tablet dose (2.5 mg), produced an increase in markers of bone formation while simultaneously decreasing the markers of bone breakdown.
−Removed: Significant gains in bone mineral density of the spine and hip were observed at the end of the 6-month study and there were no significant safety concerns.
−Removed: In April 2024, the phase 2 data was published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR).
+Added: Our most advanced product candidate, EB613 (oral teriparatide, or oral PTH[1-34]), is being developed as the first oral, osteoanabolic (bone building) tablet treatment for osteoporosis.
+Added: EB613 is being developed under a 505(b)(2) application to the listed drug, Forteo® (teriparatide SC injection, Eli Lilly), which was first approved by the FDA in 2002 for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture and later indicated for men with osteoporosis and osteoporosis associated with sustained systemic glucocorticoid therapy.
+Added: Forteo® has been in clinical use for over 20 years with a well-established benefit-risk profile.
+Added: Osteoporosis is a chronic, progressive disorder in which bone resorption exceeds formation, resulting in decreased bone strength and increased susceptibility to fracture.
+Added: Osteoporosis is a major and growing public health issue, responsible for over two million fractures annually in the United States.
+Added: After age 50, one in three women and one in five men will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture in their remaining lifetime.
+Added: Osteoporotic fractures lead to chronic pain, decreased quality of life, increased disability, and contribute to premature death.
+Added: Studies show that up to 20-24% of hip fracture patients die within one year of the fracture.
+Added: The total medical cost of osteoporotic fractures is projected to increase from $57 billion in 2018 to $95 billion by 2040, largely due to the aging population.
+Added: Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis-related fractures, particularly in the hip, spine, and wrist.
+Added: The mechanism for low bone mineral density (“BMD”) in postmenopausal women is primary estrogen deficiency, which leads to accelerated bone loss, especially in the first five to ten years after menopause.
+Added: The three approved anabolic drugs, including Forteo®, are indicated for the treatment of very high-risk osteoporosis patients as first line therapy and as second line treatment in osteoporosis patients who cannot tolerate or progress on other osteoporosis drugs.
+Added: Despite the superior efficacy of anabolic drugs, existing treatments require daily or monthly subcutaneous injections and are estimated to be used in a minority of very high-risk patients.
+Added: EB613 is intended to provide an oral anabolic treatment earlier in an osteoporosis patient’s journey to increase skeletal mass, reduce the risk of fracture, limit the disease progression, and decrease disability and mortality.
+Added: Our mission with EB613 is to democratize anabolic treatment and enable wider access to both patients and healthcare practitioners.
+Added: We have completed a comprehensive nonclinical and clinical package for the EB613 program, including three Phase 1 comparative studies with Forteo® and three Phase 2 clinical studies.
+Added: EB613 has been safely administered to a total of 270 study participants, including postmenopausal women with low BMD or osteoporosis (n=118 on EB613, n=43 on placebo), healthy volunteers, and male and female patients with hypoparathyroidism.
+Added: EB613 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.
+Added: In April 2024, Phase 2 data was published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR).
+Added: EB613 produced rapid dose-proportional increases in biochemical markers of bone formation, reductions in markers of bone resorption, and increased lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck BMD.
+Added: At 6 months of treatment, EB613 2.5mg produced comparable total hip BMD increases as those that have been reported for Forteo® at 6 months.
+Added: In September and April 2025, the effects of EB613 on trabecular and cortical bone indices based on a 3D-Shaper DXA post-hoc analysis of Phase 2 results were presented at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (“ASBMR”) 2025 Annual Meeting and at the 2025 World Congress on Osteoporosis (WCO-IOF-ESCEO), respectively.
+Added: The data using 3D-DXA modelling showed evidence of an early effect on both trabecular and cortical bone of the proximal femur.
+Added: Mechanistically, the findings suggest that bone strengthening and fracture resistance may occur rapidly with EB613.
+Added: In October 2025, we reported clinical data from a post-hoc analysis of our Phase 2 trial of EB613 at the 2025 North American Menopause Society (NAMS) Annual Meeting in a poster presentation titled “EB613 (Oral PTH[1-34] Tablets) Increases BMD Over Six Months in Early Postmenopausal Women with Low Bone Mass or Osteoporosis:
+Added: A Phase 2 Randomized Trial (P-66)”.
+Added: In this analysis of the Phase 2 data, EB613 produced significant and consistent gains in BMD at the spine, femoral neck and hip in women within 10 years of menopause and in women more than 10 years post-menopause.
+Added: Since 2023, we have advanced a simplified formulation of EB613 that builds on clinical experience with the multi-tablet formulation which was used in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies.
+Added: At the ASBMR Annual Meeting in September 2025, preclinical data for EB613 single tablet formulation from a cross-over pharmacokinetic mini-pig study was presented.
+Added: This pre-clinical data showed comparable PK to the multiple tablet formulation of EB613.
+Added: The preliminary results from the ongoing Phase 1b PK study (ENT-11-2023) demonstrate PK comparability between the multiple tablet formulation and the simplified single-tablet formulation of EB613 and Forteo®.
Regulatory Background
−Removed: Initial approvals of drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis have required a placebo-controlled trial demonstrating reduction in the risk of fractures as the primary outcome measure in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
+Added: Initial approvals of drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis have historically required a placebo-controlled trial demonstrating reduction in the risk of fractures as the primary outcome measure in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Our product candidate, EB612, is being developed as the first oral PTH(1-34) tablet peptide replacement therapy for patients with hypoparathyroidism.
−Removed: With respect to our EB612 program, we are currently testing new generations of our N-Tab™ Technology with the naked PTH(1-34) peptide to assess the effectiveness of once or twice a day dosing regimens, as well as collaborating with a third party on another peptide in this field.
+Added: The FDA and the EMA have granted EB612 orphan drug designation for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism.
+Added: Hypoparathyroidism is a rare, heterogeneous, endocrine disorder that leads to abnormally low calcium and high phosphorus levels in the blood and requires chronic PTH replacement therapy.
+Added: Today, the only approved PTH replacement treatment, YORVIPATH® (developed by Ascendis Pharma), requires patients to administer daily injections, while investigational candidates may require weekly injections.
+Added: Entera previously demonstrated proof-of-concept clinical data for its EB612 program using an unmodified oral PTH(1-34) analog in a 16-week Phase 2 study in patients with hypoparathyroidism (JBMR, 2021).
+Added: The study showed significant reduction in calcium supplement use and maintenance of serum calcium levels above the lower limit for hypoparathyroidism (>7.5 mg/dL) throughout the study.
