Adolor partner plans added Phase III study on its bowel drug
Mon Mar 12, 2007 4:50 PM ET

March 12 (Reuters) - Adolor Corp. <ADLR.O> said on Monday that its partner Glaxo Group Ltd. has planned an additional Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the experimental bowel treatment drug, Entereg.

Pacific Growth Equities analyst Gregory Wade pointed out that plans for the Phase III study, which will be conducted in second quarter, suggest that the data will not show any additional unfavourable safety issues.

The drug, which GlaxoSmithKline Plc <GSK.L> and Adolor are developing in partnership, was delayed as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had asked for additional data.

In November, the FDA said it wanted to see 12-month safety data from an ongoing clinical trial of Entereg (alvimopan) as a treatment of opiate-induced bowel problems, including analysis of serious cardiovascular events.

Shares of Adolor, a biopharmaceutical company, were slightly down at $8.31 in after-market electronic trade, after closing up 26.1 percent or $1.78 at $8.60 on the Nasdaq. (Reporting by Neha Pathania in Bangalore
